The words worth keeping,
where you'll see them.

Keep the lines that stay with you, then let them come back on their own, on the home screen you already look at all day. You never have to go and open anything.

What it does

Small app. One job, done carefully.

A place to keep the lines you don't want to lose, and a few ways to meet them again without going looking.

Collections that keep their colour

Group quotes however you think: by author, by mood, by whatever you happen to be working on. Each collection takes one of five tints and an icon or emoji, and both follow those quotes everywhere, including onto the widget.

Widgets that change on their own

Pin a collection to your home screen and it moves through it by itself, with the app closed. You never set an interval. It turns over on an hours scale, so it feels closer to weather than to notifications.

Sixteen faces for one line

Rounded, sans, serif, display, mono, or handwritten: sixteen typefaces in all, at whatever size reads best. The app's own voice stays where it is, because the typeface belongs to your words rather than to the interface around them.

Screenshot it, keep it

Share a screenshot of a post straight to Wick. It reads the image, picks out the line and works out who said it, dropping the handles, timestamps and like counts on the way. Then it hands you the result to correct, because the reading is a guess and the app would rather admit that than save half a quote quietly.

Your quotes stay on your device

Everything you write is saved in a database on the phone itself, and none of it is ever sent anywhere: not the text, not the author, not even a collection name. When you want a copy of your own, export the lot to a file and keep it wherever you like.

Nothing to sign up for

No email, no password, no onboarding carousel. Install it and the first collection is one tap away. There is no account because there is nothing to have an account with.

Home screen

A quote you didn't have to go find.

The point of the widget is that you never open anything. It sits on the home screen you already look at forty times a day and quietly works its way through the collection you gave it.

  • Make it once, place it anywhere. A widget is a saved combination of collection, font and background that you can drop on the home screen as many times as you like.
  • Edit it and every copy updates. Change the collection and each placed instance follows, instantly. You never go back through the system's widget settings.
  • Or pin one line and leave it. A widget can hold a single quote instead of a collection, for the one you want in front of you every day.
  • Small through extra large. Every size the OS offers, on iOS and Android alike. You choose it as you place it, the way the system intends.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Seneca · Stoic

Begin at once to live.

Share cards

Send the line, not a screenshot.

Any quote can become a picture worth posting. Pick the shape, the background and the face, and the app draws it at full resolution and hands it to whatever you share with.

  • Square or story. 1:1 for a feed, 9:16 for a story, sized correctly before you ever open the share sheet.
  • Yours to compose. Five tints plus paper and ink, left or centred, light or dark text, author shown or not.
  • The fonts come with it. All sixteen faces are open-licensed, so the glyphs are baked into the image and it looks the same everywhere it lands.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

Henry David Thoreau

How it works

Three steps, then you forget about it.

1

Make a collection

Name it, give it a colour and an icon, and start adding quotes. Author is optional, because sometimes you only remember the line.

2

Build a widget

Pick what it draws from, a font, and a background. Save it under a name you'll recognise later, like Stoic · Lora.

3

Put it on your home screen

Long-press, add the widget, choose the one you made. After that it turns over by itself and you can leave it alone.

Sixteen faces

However the line wants to be read.

You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
