Dictum — Quotes

One quote on your lock screen. That is all Dictum does.

You choose where the quotes come from: philosophy and Stoicism, science, fairy tales, classic books, courage, silence, truth — or specific people. You choose how they look: five typefaces, fourteen quote styles, three places on the lock screen. And you choose when they change: every quarter hour, hourly, daily, or only when you turn the page yourself.

THREE PLACES
• Above the clock — one line beside the date
• Below the clock — two or three lines with the name
• Round — a short quote in a circle

YOUR SELECTION
• Over 3,900 quotes in five languages
• Categories you can look into before choosing
• Well-known people as their own filter
• Collections broken down to the individual work
• Write your own quotes — they stand among the others

YOUR QUOTE
• Five typefaces drawn for screens: Libre Baskerville, EB Garamond, Newsreader,
Lora, Inter
• Fourteen quote styles, from classically centred to fragment
• Preview on a real lock screen, not on a symbolic image

WITHOUT ANYTHING ELSE No account. No ads. No subscription. No analytics. Dictum sends nothing and receives nothing — the app needs no internet connection. What you choose and what you write stays on your device.

ABOUT THE TEXTS All quotes come from public domain sources: the authors died before 1956, the works appeared before 1931. Translations from other languages are our own renderings, not existing editions.
