How it works
Built for readers who collect ideas
- 01
Save what resonates
Capture quotes as you read or listen. Add notes, import batches from CSV, and keep everything in one place.
- 02
Link authors and sources
Attach attribution and book references so every quote stays connected to where it came from.
- 03
Organize into libraries
Group quotes by topic, project, or book. Set defaults so new quotes pick up the right context automatically.
