Everything Quote Gallery offers

A modern home for quotes — with tools to discover, organize, share, and build on top of them.

Quotes that come to you

Core feature

The moment you open Quote Gallery, a full-screen slideshow starts playing. No search box, no onboarding prompt. Just words. Quotes cycle automatically so you can sit back and read without lifting a finger.

The slideshow pulls from a curated library of thousands of quotes across philosophy, literature, science, history, and more. Signed-in users also get Never-Repeat Mode, where the server tracks what you have already seen so every quote is fresh until you have worked through the whole library.

Full-screen by default

No clutter. The quote takes up the whole screen, exactly as it should.

Auto-advancing with progress

Set the interval, sit back, and watch. Or tap through manually whenever you like.

Never-Repeat Mode

A server-tracked cursor ensures you never see the same quote twice in a session.

Playlist and author mode

Browse only quotes from a playlist or a single author. The slideshow adapts to your context.

Pause, rewind, skip

Full keyboard and on-screen controls. Go back to a quote you liked or skip ones you have seen.

Pause on tab switch

The slideshow pauses automatically when the tab is hidden and resumes when you come back.

Discover and search

When you want something specific, the search page is there. Find quotes by keyword, filter by category or author, and browse the entire library sorted by popularity or recency. Every quote links to its author's profile, where you can see all their work and launch a slideshow scoped just to them.

Full-text search

Search across quote text, author names, and categories. Results update as you type.

Author profiles

Every author gets a page with their bio, all approved quotes, and a one-click slideshow.

Like and save quotes

Heart quotes you love. They appear in your Liked section and sync across your devices.

Share any quote

Every quote has a shareable link and a copy-to-image option for social media.

Playlists

Group quotes into playlists by mood, topic, occasion, or whatever makes sense for you. A playlist can be public for others to browse or kept private for yourself.

Once you have a playlist, launch it as a dedicated slideshow. It works well for presentations, meditation sessions, or a focused reading experience. You can also feed playlists directly into the embed widget or the API.

Presets and visual customization

The slideshow is fully styleable. Choose fonts, colors, background types (solid, gradient, texture, or animated silk), transition animations, text reveal effects, noise overlays, drop shadows, and more. The settings panel is live, so every change shows instantly on screen.

Save a configuration as a preset and switch between them in one click. Public presets made by the community are browsable on the Presets page, so you can start from something beautiful instead of a blank canvas.

Typography controls

Pick any Google Font and adjust size, weight, and style for both the quote and author text.

Animated backgrounds

Solid colors, gradients, textures, or a flowing silk-like animation. All fully configurable.

Transition animations

Blur-scale, fade, slide, flip, zoom, and more. Premium animations are available on paid plans.

CSS-style effects

Apply blur, brightness, grayscale, sepia, hue rotation, and drop shadow to each quote.

Film noise overlay

Add a subtle grain over the background for a cinematic, analog feel.

Community presets

Browse, apply, and share presets. Great starting points that are easy to tweak from there.

Submit and manage your own content

Found a quote that is not in the library yet? Submit it. A moderator will review and approve it, then it goes live for everyone to discover.

From the dashboard you can manage all your submitted quotes, track approval status, edit details, and handle your author entries. AI tools are there to help along the way: automatic author detection, category suggestions, grammar correction, and AI-generated quote explanations.

Author detection

Paste a quote and let AI figure out who said it, even when attribution is unclear.

Category suggestions

AI picks relevant categories and tags so your quote surfaces in the right searches.

Grammar correction

Fix typos, punctuation, and capitalization without changing the wording of the original.

AI explanations

Generate a short explanation of what a quote means and the context behind it.

Read Aloud

Add-on

Every signed-in user gets a daily free allowance of Read Aloud. Natural AI voices read quotes out loud as each word lights up in sync with the audio. It works inside the slideshow and pairs well with the auto-advance feature, so the slideshow waits for the audio to finish before moving on to the next quote.

Optional add-on plans unlock unlimited listening and more voices, including younger-sounding voices and early access to new ones as they are added.

Your slideshow, your rules

The Algorithm page lets you tune what kinds of quotes appear in your feed. Filter by category, hide quotes from certain authors, or weight specific topics more heavily. The slideshow respects your preferences on every session.

You can also set the interval between quotes, choose how quotes transition, and control auto-advance behavior. All settings are stored to your account and follow you across devices.

Public API

Quote Gallery exposes a REST API so you can pull quotes, authors, playlists, and categories into your own apps, scripts, or automations. Generate an API key from the dashboard, add it to your request headers, and you are ready to go.

The free tier covers every endpoint with a generous hourly request limit. Paid API plans raise those limits further and add usage analytics. Supporter subscribers get a bundle discount on all paid API plans automatically.

Embed widget

Drop a live quote slideshow onto any website with a single <iframe>. The embed widget uses the same slideshow renderer as the main site and is fully configurable via URL parameters: font, colors, background type, transition, interval, and more.

The Embed Generator in your dashboard lets you build and preview the widget visually, then copy the generated code. You can point the widget at any playlist, author, or category from the Quote Gallery library, or supply your own quotes from an external API.

Quote Gallery as the source

Pulls from the Quote Gallery library. Filter by playlist, author, or category with your API key.

External JSON source

Point the widget at any URL that returns a JSON array of quotes. No API key required.

Coming soon: mobile apps

Upcoming

Native iOS and Android apps are in the works. They will bring Quote Gallery to your home screen and lock screen as widgets, so a fresh quote is waiting for you every time you pick up your phone without even opening the app.

Timed notifications are also planned. Get a quote delivered at a specific time each day, or set a few windows throughout the day to receive one. A daily dose of inspiration on your schedule.

Quote widgets

Home screen and lock screen widgets that show a new quote automatically throughout the day.

Timed notifications

Schedule a daily quote notification at any time you choose: morning, lunch, evening, or all three.
