Quotify 2

Quotify 2 is an iPhone and iPad app built around a simple idea: keep the words that move you. It saves the quotes you love from books, articles, podcasts, X and Instagram posts, and conversations, and then brings them back on your Home Screen and Lock Screen so the lines you wanted to remember stay in view. Instead of leaving favourite passages scattered across a camera roll, a notes app or a social feed, Quotify gathers them into one library and puts them back in front of you. The app is free on iPhone and iPad, there is no account to create inside the app, and Quotify 2 is described by its maker as the biggest update since the original launch in August 2022 and is ready for iPhone Duo. The product began with a familiar problem. Quotify's maker, Jay Hickey, built the first version because the lines he underlined in books, heard on podcasts, saw in X or Instagram posts, or screenshotted kept getting lost in his camera roll. Nothing was wrong with collecting them in the moment; the problem was that the moment passed and the words never came back. Quotify answers that by keeping every saved line in one library and returning it to the places a phone user already looks: the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. When someone asked back in 2022 how Quotify was different from simply putting a screenshot on a Home Screen, the answer was that the widget rotates through your quotes. With Quotify 2, you get to pick exactly which quotes it rotates through. Capturing a quote is the core of the product, and the release adds several new ways to do it. Smart Photo to Quote, free for everyone, lets you snap a book page or an e-reader screen, or pick a screenshot or a photo of a sign, and Quotify pulls out the quote and the author, so nothing has to be retyped. Sharing an X or Instagram post to Quotify saves both the quote and the link; on X it includes who posted it, and on Instagram it reads the quote from the image. Beyond that, you can share from Safari and the page link comes with the quote, say a quote out loud with Record, or use the new Create Quote action in Shortcuts. Each route exists so that saving a quote takes the shape of whatever you were already doing: reading, scrolling, listening or talking. Getting quotes back is handled by widgets and reminders. Quotes appear on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and Rotation controls which of them the widgets and daily reminders display. You can show everything you have saved, just your Favorites, a single author, or any field you have added, which makes the widget a curated surface rather than a random shuffle. The detail that made Quotify distinct from a static screenshot in 2022 was rotation, and Quotify 2 turns that into a choice. Choosing which quotes the widgets show is a Premium capability, while the everyday experience of seeing quotes on the Home Screen and Lock Screen remains part of the free app. Quotify 2 also connects your library to AI chats. By adding Quotify at mcp.quotify.to, assistants including Claude, Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok Bot and Muse can find your saved quotes and, if you allow it, save new ones. The maker is explicit about the limits of that access: it can't edit or delete anything. This is a Premium feature, and it extends the library beyond the phone screen so that the quotes you have collected can be surfaced inside the AI tools you already use, whether you are writing, coding or simply thinking out loud. Sending quotes back out is covered by a new Share Quote sheet. It produces Story, Square and Wide images with an accent color, with one tap to Instagram Stories, so a saved line can become something to post rather than something to keep to yourself. That completes the loop the tagline implies: capture the words that move you, keep them visible, and share the favorites that might move someone else. Overall, the product works as a single loop of capture, keep and share. Quotes enter the library from books, articles, podcasts, social posts, Safari pages, voice recordings, Shortcuts or photos; they live in one library instead of being scattered; they resurface automatically on the Home Screen and Lock Screen through rotating widgets and daily reminders; they can be looked up or added to from connected AI chats; and they can be turned into shareable images. A fresh design accompanies this release, and the app still requires no account to create inside the app, with Premium adding private iCloud sync and export anytime. The outcome for users is that the lines worth keeping stop disappearing. A passage underlined in a book, a sentence heard on a podcast, or a post seen on X or Instagram becomes part of a library that shows up on the device's most-viewed surfaces instead of sinking into a camera roll. Because Rotation can be limited to Favorites, a single author, or any field you have added, the quotes on display stay relevant to whatever you are reading or thinking about at the time. Sharing is handled inside the same app, so inspiration can pass to other people without leaving Quotify. Concrete use cases follow directly from those capture paths. You can photograph a page of a book or an e-reader screen and let Smart Photo to Quote extract the quote and the author instead of retyping them. You can share an article from Safari so the quote arrives with its page link, or share an X or Instagram post so the quote, the link and, on X, the poster are all saved. You can speak a quote out loud with Record when your hands are busy, or trigger the Create Quote action from Shortcuts. You can send a Favorites-only selection to your widget, or ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another connected assistant to find a quote you saved earlier. And you can turn a favorite into a Story, Square or Wide image for Instagram Stories with a chosen accent color. Quotify 2 is aimed at people who collect language: readers who underline passages, listeners who hear a line on a podcast, and anyone who screenshots posts on X or Instagram and wants to keep them. It runs on iPhone and iPad, supports Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and requires no account to create in the app. The free tier covers capturing quotes and seeing them on your screens, including Smart Photo to Quote for everyone. Premium adds the ability to choose which quotes your widgets show, the AI chat connection through mcp.quotify.to, private iCloud sync and export anytime. The app is a second launch from a product first released in August 2022, and many of the features in this release came from user requests emailed over the years. The takeaway is straightforward: Quotify 2 is a quote library that comes back to you. It removes the friction from saving a line, whether that line comes from a page, a podcast, a post, a sign or a conversation, and it makes sure the words that moved you appear again on the Home Screen and Lock Screen rather than getting lost.
