Quotes 2044: Daily Wisdom

1,404 hand-picked quotes from 863 great minds. Tap once to read one — or hear it read aloud. New: a fresh quote on your Home Screen every hour. Free, no account.

One tap. One great quote. Nothing else.

Quotes is a deliberately quiet app: a dark screen, a single tap, and a hand-picked line from someone worth listening to. No feed, no streaks, no badge screaming at you from the home screen — just a small moment of clarity, exactly when you want one.

1,528 QUOTES. 875 VOICES. Einstein. Maya Angelou. Lao Tzu. Peter Drucker. Bruce Lee. Nelson Mandela. Oprah Winfrey. Steve Jobs. And yes — Yoda. Every line was picked by hand, one at a time, over five years. None of it was scraped.

HEAR THEM, DON'T JUST READ THEM Switch on Speak Quotes and each one is read aloud. Good for the walk to work, the first coffee, the gym — any moment your eyes are somewhere else. A soft chime marks each new quote, and you can turn it down or turn it off.

ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app runs entirely on its own — your iPhone can stay in your pocket, or at home. Add the complication to your favorite face and the next quote is one tap away, wherever you are.

AND EVERYWHERE ELSE iPhone. iPad. Mac. Apple Watch. Apple Vision Pro. One free download covers all five.
