Quoyle
The bibliography for your Android devices & most browsers.
Select text anywhere on your Android device or in your browser. Tap “Quoyle this!” The app captures the text along with the page URL, article title, author byline, and surrounding context — automatically (if enabled) or manually entered. Export from Android, import in your browser, or vice versa. Always private. Always available.
How it works
Three steps to a complete record
On Android, Quoyle integrates with the text selection system. In your browser, it adds a right-click context menu. Either way: select, capture, done. Or tap + to create a quotation from scratch — for something you heard, read in print, or want to remember.
Select text anywhere
Android: Long-press on any text in any browser, reading app, PDF viewer, or messaging app.
Browser: Highlight text on any webpage in Firefox, Chrome, or any supported browser.
“Quoyle this!”
Android: Choose “Quoyle this!” from the text selection menu, or share text and links via the share sheet.
Browser: Right-click your selection and choose “Quoyle this!” from the context menu.
Rich metadata captured automatically
The page URL, article title, and site name are recorded alongside your text. On Android, the optional accessibility service also captures the author byline and surrounding paragraph — a complete bibliographic citation, assembled in the background.
Features
A structured citation for every selection
Quoyle doesn’t save text snippets. It assembles bibliographic records — each quotation stored with its source URL, page title, site name, author, surrounding paragraph, and timestamp. Every entry is a citation you can trace back to the source.
Title & Site Name
Parsed from the page’s title tag. “Article Title | Site Name” is automatically split into separate fields for browsing and sorting.
Author Byline
When a page includes a machine-readable byline, Quoyle extracts the author name automatically. Works reliably on Android Firefox, et al, via GeckoView’s hint system.
Surrounding Context
The paragraph around your selection is captured, giving you context for short quotations. No more wondering what that three-word selection means in situ.
Tags & Favorites
Color-coded tags, inline creation, one-tap favorites. Long-press any tag to rename it or change its color. Filter and sort your library by tag, author, date, or favorites. Full-text search across all fields.
Create from Scratch
Heard something worth remembering? Tap + on the home screen to create a quotation manually. Add the text, author, source, notes, and tags — all in one place. Blank entries are cleaned up automatically if you change your mind.
Multi-select
Tap the select icon or long-press any quotation to enter selection mode. Favorite, tag, share, print, or delete in bulk. Select all with one tap. The toolbar scrolls to fit any screen.
Browser Extensions
Available for Gecko-based browsers (Firefox, Fennec, Mull, Waterfox, LibreWolf, Tor Browser) and Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Opera). Right-click to capture. Same encrypted export format — your library is portable across all platforms.
Share, Export & Print
Share individual quotations as formatted text. Share links directly into Quoyle to save them with their source page context. Export your entire library to JSON — optionally passphrase-encrypted, compatible across Android and browser extensions. Print quotation calling cards with QR-coded source URLs and the brand lettermark. Your data is always portable.
Privacy
What Quoyle does not do
The privacy declaration
- No internet permission. The Android OS enforces this at the kernel level. Quoyle physically cannot make network requests.
- No accounts. No sign-up, no email collection, no user profiles.
- No analytics. No Firebase, no crash reporting, no telemetry whatsoever.
- No ads. No ad SDKs, no ad network integrations, no sponsored content.
- No third-party SDKs that phone home. The dependency list is AndroidX, Jetpack Compose, Room, and Hilt — all first-party Google libraries that run locally.
- No background data collection. The accessibility service runs only to capture metadata when you actively select text.
- Encrypted at rest. Your quotation database is AES-256 encrypted via Android Keystore. Even if your device backup reaches a cloud server, the data is an opaque blob.
- Optional encrypted exports. When you export your library, you can protect it with a passphrase. Without the passphrase, the file is unreadable. The same encrypted format works across Android and browser extensions.
Your quotation data can only leave your device through actions you explicitly initiate: export to a JSON file (optionally passphrase-encrypted), share a quotation via the share sheet, print a quotation card, or copy text to the clipboard. There is no other path.
