For newsletter creators and independent authors

FocusReader for writers

Keep the line. Keep its source. Keep writing.

Save web quotes with their source links, then export clean Markdown into the writing system you already use.

10 quotes free. $9.99 once for PRO, taxes included. No subscription.

FocusReader saved quotes beside a Markdown export that keeps the original source links.

The writing problem

A good quote is not useful if its origin disappears.

Copying a sentence into a scratch file often loses the page title, URL, and moment it was captured. FocusReader saves those details beside the selected text, so source checking remains part of the note instead of a separate search task.

Reader mode also gives long articles a calmer typography and layout before you decide what is worth keeping.
