Commonplace
Your reading, remembered. Capture the lines that move you, build a personal library of ideas, and return to what you've saved.
Everything you need to read with intention.
From a quick capture to a personal library of ideas — Commonplace is built for readers who want to remember what moved them.
Type or paste quotes with a source book, page number, personal note, and tags. Capture in seconds.
Point your camera at a page and capture the text. Built for physical book readers — no typing needed.
Capture highlighted text from Safari, Kindle, or any app without breaking your reading flow.
Full-text search across all your quotes, authors, books, and personal notes. Find anything instantly.
Quotes auto-group by book. Add tags for your own taxonomy — fiction, philosophy, whatever you like.
A calm space to rediscover what you've saved. Random quotes resurface on demand — no streaks, no nudges.
Markdown and PDF export — per book or your full library. Your quotes, your data, always portable.
Your library lives in iCloud. Switch from iPhone to iPad and your quotes are already there — no setup required.
