QuoteHoard
Capture the passage without retyping a word.
OCR-snap quotes from physical books. Offline, no subscription.
Why QuoteHoard exists
Readers of physical books constantly find passages worth keeping but have no friction-free way to capture them — they dog-ear pages or photograph quotes that rot in the camera roll. Tools like Readwise lock highlights in the cloud behind a subscription. QuoteVault snaps the quote, OCRs it on-device, and keeps it offline.
What QuoteHoard does
- Snap a page with the camera and extract the text with on-device OCR
- Always-editable extracted text — OCR is never perfect, so you stay in control
- Group quotes under a book with title, author, and ISBN
- Add page numbers, notes, and tags to every quote
- Fast offline search across quotes and books
- Markdown and CSV export, grouped by book
- Photos are processed in memory for OCR and not retained unless you keep them
- Fully offline — no account, no subscription, your highlights stay yours

Privacy and local storage
QuoteVault runs OCR entirely on-device and stores quotes locally. The camera is used only on explicit capture, photos are not retained, and nothing leaves your phone.
Optional Google services
- + ML Kit Text Recognition (on-device): extract quote text from a page photo — no image or text leaves your phone
All Google services are optional. QuoteHoard works completely without them.
Affiliate links disclosure
QuoteVault may include a tasteful "buy this book" link on a book's detail screen only — never inside a quote or result area. All affiliate links are clearly labelled.
