Perennial gives you one line of timeless wisdom each day — quietly, beautifully, and entirely offline. Here's how it works, and how to reach us.
Each day Perennial shows you one quote, chosen for that date. It's the same for the whole day and changes at midnight — no need to open the app at a set time. Quotes don't repeat for months.
No. Perennial works fully offline and has no accounts, no login, and no sign-up. Everything lives on your device.
Tap the heart on any quote to save it, and add a private note if you like. Your favorites and notes are stored only on your iPhone.
You can turn on an optional gentle reminder in Settings. It's a local notification scheduled on your device — even with the reminder off, a fresh quote is ready for you every day.
Many popular quotes are credited to the wrong person. Perennial has a dedicated section for quotes the internet commonly misattributes, with a short note on what's actually known.
Add the Perennial widget to your Home Screen to see today's line at a glance. Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap +, search for Perennial, and add the widget.
