One beautiful quote each morning, from the King James Bible and the great books, always shown with its exact source. Save the ones you love, browse by theme, and make a picture card to share. It stays on your own device, with no account.
Paraphernalia are the small, useful things that go with a pursuit. Quotephernalia is a pocketful of the best things ever written, every one checked word for word against its original source, with a fresh one waiting each morning.
No feeds, no noise. Just one good line a day, and the source to prove it.
Every quote comes with where it’s from: the book, chapter and verse, or the work, section and translator. Everyone sees the same quote on the same date, and there are no repeats for 448 days. Want another? Tap “Another quote”, and go back if you like.
There are 448 quotes: 270 from the King James Bible and 178 from public-domain classics like Shakespeare, Marcus Aurelius, Thoreau, Franklin, Emerson, Seneca and Lincoln. Every one was checked against its original source, so nothing is misquoted or made up.
Browse by courage, perseverance, kindness, faith, wisdom, work, gratitude, hope, peace, comfort, joy and more. Or search for a word, an author or a book.
Turn any quote into a picture in four looks: Parchment, Midnight, Sage and Rose. On a phone it opens the share sheet; on a computer it saves the picture.
Keep the quotes that speak to you, and the few words you wrote about them. Your reflections sit right beside the quote that prompted them. Everything is kept safe with daily snapshots and a backup file, and you can export it all as text.
Quotephernalia was built so they stay that way. There’s no company server holding your favorites or reflections, because they never leave your device.
Everything is kept in your browser on your own phone or computer. It’s never uploaded, so no one else can see your favorites and reflections.
Nothing to sign up for, no password to remember, and no email address to hand over.
Every quote was chosen and checked by a person. Nothing is generated, and nothing reads your reflections.
No ads, no cookies, and nothing that follows you around the web. The app has no analytics at all; this website counts page visits privately, without cookies (details). It works offline, too.
Quotephernalia runs in your web browser, so there’s no app store and nothing to download. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app, even without the internet.
On iPhone, adding it to your home screen also helps Safari keep your favorites safe.
On a Mac with Safari, choose File, then Add to Dock. Or simply bookmark it. It works in any modern browser.
Each phone or computer keeps its own favorites. A backup file is how you move them from one to another.

Paraphernalia are the small, useful things that go with a pursuit. Quotephernalia is a pocketful of the best things ever written, every one checked word for word against its original source, with a fresh one waiting each morning.
270 are from the King James Version of the Bible and 178 are from public-domain classics: Shakespeare, Marcus Aurelius, Thoreau, Franklin, Emerson, Seneca, Lincoln, Epictetus, Aesop, Longfellow, Confucius and others. Each was checked word for word against its source, and the source is shown with every quote.
It can be as much or as little as you like. In Settings, choose Scripture only, classic wisdom only, or both. The daily quote, “Another quote”, themes and search all follow that choice.
Not for a long time. The daily quote follows a fixed order with no repeats for 448 days (270 days with Scripture only, 178 with classics only), and everyone sees the same quote on the same date.

On the new phone, open the app, go to Settings, choose Restore, and pick that file. Restoring merges with what’s already there and never erases it.
