Quotify 2 is an iPhone and iPad app for keeping the words that move you. It captures quotes from books, articles, podcasts, X and Instagram posts, and conversations, then stores them in one library and brings them back on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. The app is built for people who underline lines in books, hear something memorable on a podcast, or screenshot a post they want to remember, and who want those words to stay visible rather than disappear into a camera roll. Quotify 2 is described as the biggest update since the first Quotify launch in August 2022, and it is ready for iPhone Duo. There is still no account to create in the app, and the core capture and widget experience is free on iPhone and iPad.
The maker built Quotify because the lines underlined in books, heard on podcasts, seen in X or Instagram posts, or screenshotted kept getting lost in the camera roll. The original pitch was simple: quickly capture quotes, add them to your home screen to stay inspired, and share favorites with others. When Quotify first launched on Product Hunt in August 2022, someone asked how it was different from simply putting a screenshot on your Home Screen. The answer then was that the widget rotates through your quotes. Quotify 2 answers that question again with more control, because now you get to pick exactly which quotes the widget rotates through. The underlying problem is unchanged: the words that inspire you are scattered across formats and apps, and without a dedicated place to keep them, they are effectively lost.
Quotify 2 expands how quotes get into the library. 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 with no retyping. You can also share an X or Instagram post to Quotify to save the quote along with the link; on X it includes who posted it, and on Instagram it reads the quote from the image. Sharing from Safari brings the page link with it, Record lets you say a quote out loud, and the new Create Quote action in Shortcuts adds another way in. Each of these paths exists so that capturing a quote takes seconds instead of a copy-paste-and-clean-up routine.
Captured quotes come back to you through Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and through daily reminders. The widget rotation is the heart of the product: it cycles through your quotes so that the words you saved resurface instead of sitting in a list you never open. Rotation in Quotify 2 is configurable with Premium, and widgets and daily reminders can show everything, just your Favorites, a single author, or any field you have added. That means you can decide that a particular author's lines are what you want to see this month, or keep the widget limited to favorites. Daily notifications work the same way, bringing a saved quote back to you without opening the app.
Sharing got a rebuild in Quotify 2. A new Share Quote sheet produces Story, Square and Wide images with an accent color, and there is one tap to Instagram Stories. The original purpose stands: share favorites with others to inspire them. Because the sheet outputs several formats, a single saved quote can be reused for a story, a square post or a wide banner without leaving the app. Quotify began as a way to see your quotes on your home screen and share them to inspire others, and the new sheet makes the output look intentional rather than like a screenshot.
Premium also opens up AI chats. By adding Quotify at mcp.quotify.to, tools 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 integration is deliberately limited: it cannot edit or delete anything. That restriction matters because a quote library is personal and curated; the AI side of Quotify is read-and-add only, so a chat can pull the quote you saved months ago into a draft, or file a new line into the library, without any risk of a model rewriting or removing what you kept.
Overall, Quotify works as a capture-to-display loop. Quotes come in from photos, shares, recordings, Shortcuts or an AI chat; they land in one library; and the widgets and reminders push them back onto your Home Screen and Lock Screen. There is no account to create in the app, so there is no sign-up step between downloading and saving your first quote. Premium adds private iCloud sync and export anytime, which is how the library moves between devices or leaves the app if you want it elsewhere. The fresh design in version 2 modernizes the interface without changing that loop.
The benefit Quotify promises is retention: the words that move you stay where you will see them. Instead of a screenshot buried in a camera roll, a quote becomes part of your Home Screen or Lock Screen rotation, and a daily reminder can resurface it. Smart Photo to Quote removes the retyping that normally stops people from saving quotes, so a passage from a book or e-reader screen becomes a saved quote in one snap. The Share Quote sheet turns a saved line into something you can post in one tap, and the MCP connection means the same library can feed AI conversations, so a quote you saved while reading is available when you are writing.
Concrete workflows described by the maker include snapping a book page or e-reader screen to save a passage with its author, sharing an X post to keep both the quote and the link plus who posted it, sharing an Instagram post so Quotify reads the quote from the image, and sharing from Safari so a quote arrives with its page link. You can say a quote out loud with Record for lines heard in conversation, build a Create Quote action in Shortcuts, set a widget to rotate only through a single author's lines, and post a Story, Square or Wide quote image to Instagram Stories. In a Premium flow, a chat in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or a similar tool can look up saved quotes and add new ones.
Quotify is aimed at readers, podcast listeners, and people who collect lines from social posts and conversations, in other words anyone who underlines, screenshots or repeats phrases they want to keep. It runs on iPhone and iPad, and version 2 is ready for iPhone Duo. Pricing is free with a Premium tier: Smart Photo to Quote is free for everyone, while choosing which quotes widgets show, connecting quotes to AI chats, and private iCloud sync and export are Premium features.
Quotify 2's value proposition is straightforward: capture the words that move you from wherever you find them, then let your Home Screen and Lock Screen bring them back. Faster capture, configurable rotation, a better share sheet and an AI connection all serve that single loop.
