About Quotator
Quotator is a personal quote library that puts your words on your home screen — styled exactly the way you want them, rotating on your schedule. THE ROTATION IS YOURS Most quote apps rotate randomly or once a day. Quotator lets you set the interval: every 10 or 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2, 4, 6, or 12 hours, or once a day. Each widget you add can have its own interval, category, and rotation mode — independently. You decide when your quotes change, and every widget can tell a different story. YOUR STYLE, YOUR QUOTES Style each quote individually — or set a default for your whole library and override it per category or per quote: • 19 fonts — 4 system designs (System, Serif, Monospaced, Rounded) plus 15 curated iOS fonts: Georgia, Palatino, Baskerville, Didot, American Typewriter, Courier New, Futura, Gill Sans, Helvetica Neue, Avenir Next, Optima, Copperplate, Marker Felt, Noteworthy, Snell Roundhand • Custom colors — choose from 19 carefully selected presets, or tap + to open the system color picker and use any color you like • Auto-fit text — quotes scale to fill the widget so short quotes go large and long quotes shrink to fit without truncation • Left, center, or right text alignment • Attribution above or below the quote — set it for your whole library or per category • Live preview — toggle Medium and Large in the edit screen to see exactly how your widget will look before saving PERSONAL LIBRARY • Add any quote with optional author attribution • Organize quotes into categories; filter your library by category • Enable or disable individual quotes — removed from widget rotation but kept in your library • Reorder by dragging to set the sequential rotation order • Search instantly by quote text or author TWO WIDGET STYLES Both come in Medium and Large, plus Extra Large: wide on iPad, and tall on iPhone with iOS 27 and later. Rotating Quote — displays a new quote on your chosen schedule. Long-press to configure each widget independently: • Sequential cycles through your library in the order you set • Random picks a different quote each interval, consistently • Manual pins one specific quote until you change it • Filter to one category or a set of categories • Tap Next to advance immediately, or turn on the Previous button to go back — no waiting for the next rotation Specific Quote — always shows one chosen quote. Perfect for a mantra, a goal, or a favourite you want to see every day. SHARE QUOTE COLLECTIONS Export a formatted set of quotes as a single file and share it with anyone. Styles, categories, and all formatting are preserved. Recipients import it with one tap — great for sharing reading lists, team mantras, or themed collections. FOCUS FILTER Set Quotator's category and rotation mode per Focus mode in iOS Settings → Focus → Apps → Quotator. Work Focus shows your professional quotes. Sleep Focus shows something calmer. No manual changes needed. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL • Automatic iCloud backup — Quotator backs up your entire library to iCloud Documents once a day, keeping the last 10 backups automatically • Manual backup and restore — full JSON backup you can store anywhere • Import from CSV — bring in quotes from a spreadsheet or another app • Export to CSV — take your library to any app or spreadsheet No account required. No subscription. No data collected. Just your quotes.
What’s new
Version 1.4 · Updated October 13, 2026
Bigger widgets, and more ways to show your quotes. • NEW Extra Large widgets. On iPad, add Rotating Quote or Specific Quote in the wide Extra Large size, which gives your quotes the full width of the screen. On iPhone with iOS 27 and later, choose the new tall extra-large portrait size. • Attribution above the quote. Show the author at the top of the widget with the quote below it. Turn it on for all quotes in Settings → Formatting → Default Formatting, or for one category when you edit it. • 10-minute rotation. Choose "10 Minutes" under Change every, as the app default or for each widget. • Previous Quote button. An optional back arrow on the Rotating Quote widget, alongside the Next button. Turn it on in Settings → Widget Appearance. • Tidier widget arrows. The Next and Previous arrows now sit in the bottom corners and no longer cover the end of a quote. • The search bar on My Quotes is now always visible. • Under the hood: updated to Swift 6 for better reliability.
