A line you can't source is just a sentence you liked.
Anchor keeps the lines that land on you, and where each one came from: the book, the film, the episode, the person. Save in one tap from anything you're reading. Attach the source whenever you feel like it.
Vault
A look inside
A vault built on where things came from.
Every line you keep is shown with its source's own colours washing the screen. That is the whole point. Not a notes app, a record of where things came from.

How it works
Capture never waits on sourcing.
Share a passage, tap the control, scan a page with the camera, or ask Siri, and the line is saved before you've broken stride. Who said it and what it's from is a separate, unhurried pass through a deck that asks one question at a time. A line with no source yet is never stamped, never nagged, never sorted last.
No fuzzy matching, no web lookup, no AI deciding which film a line sounds like. Every source in your vault is there because you put it there.

FAQ
Anchor, answered
01 Does Anchor look up who said a quote?
No, and that is the point of it. Anchor never attributes a line by machine: no fuzzy matching against a database, no web lookup, no AI guessing which film a line sounds like. In a vault whose whole value is knowing where things came from, a confident wrong attribution is worse than a blank one. You attach the source yourself, in a deck that asks one question at a time whenever you have a minute, and a line with no source yet is a perfectly normal state that the app never nags you about.
02 Where do my quotes live?
On your device first, in a local store that makes the app fast and fully usable with no signal, and in your FCT account, which is what puts your vault on your iPad and your Mac and gives it back after a reinstall. The account is required and creating one is the last step of onboarding. Anchor does not use iCloud. You can delete just your Anchor data, or the whole account and everything in it, from Settings.
03 Does Ask Your Vault send my lines to an AI service?
No. It runs on Apple's on-device model, on iPhone, iPad and Mac models that support Apple Intelligence, with one tool that can only read your own vault. It cannot write, so nothing it says can ever become a quote's source. On a device without Apple Intelligence the rest of the app works exactly the same and that one feature is not shown.
This is how FCT builds.
Anchor is one of thirteen FCT apps on one account. Sign in once and the apps know each other. The same standard goes into what we build for clients.
