I’m launching DogEar to help you actually remember what you read. We all have a notes graveyard of book highlights we never look at. DogEar puts those quotes on your home screen as beautiful widgets so you see them every day. Android Authority recently named us a "Best New App" for 2026. To celebrate our launch, get a 1-week free trial today! Stop forgetting and start mastering your books!

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the developer of DogEar. In my day job, I’m the CEO of an MMA promotion called ATURTO. In the fight business, you have to learn fast and stay sharp. I read constantly—leadership, strategy, mental models—but I noticed a frustrating pattern: I’d finish a life-changing book, and 30 days later, the insights were gone. I was building a notes graveyard in my Notion that I never actually looked at. I built DogEar to move that knowledge from storage to my reflexes. Instead of an app you have to remember to open, DogEar uses Environmental Priming. It anchors your highlights directly to your Android home screen as beautiful, native Material You widgets. 1. Frictionless AI Book Import: The biggest hurdle to retention is the manual work of organizing notes. DogEar uses AI to intelligently import and parse your highlights from any source, so you can go from reading to priming in seconds. 2. Material You Native: It’s a first-class citizen of the OS, syncing perfectly with your system’s dynamic color engine for a seamless aesthetic. 3. Vibe Coded Workflow: I built this using AI-assisted Vibe Coding, allowing me to focus on high-level cognitive science and aesthetic perfection over boilerplate code. We were recently featured as a "Best New App" by Android Authority. Their biggest critique? The entry barrier was too high. I took that to heart. For today’s launch a 1-week free trial is now live for everyone to test the system. I’ll be here all day. I’d love to hear your thoughts on Information Obesity, how you currently manage your highlights, or the technical side of building with AI in 2026. Let's stop just reading and start remembering.

@rajeshdugar Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot that you noticed the thoughtful side of the design.

I love that you called it a powerful affirmation. That’s exactly the Environmental Priming logic I was going for—turning our phone from a source of distraction into a constant reminder of the person we want to be and the ideas we want to lead with.

Since you've been using the widgets, I'd love to know: what is the Core book you’ve anchored to your home screen right now? I'm always curious to see what insights people choose to keep in their line of sight!

I have been using this app a lot recently, and have really enjoyed the quotes and tidbits that it shows on my homescreen of my Android device. I read 78 books last year, and while many of them are quite memorable, they all began to run together at some point. Being able to have quotes and sayings from these books on my homescreen of my device is wonderful, and has lead me to quite a few book conversations lately.

Having an app like this will absolutely help my memory of memorable quotes, happenings and characters from my day to day reads. I love it.

Highly recommend this to any other book lovers!

@justinofthewoods 78 books in a year is an incredible achievement—that is a massive amount of information intake!

That feeling of books running together is exactly why I built DogEar. We often consume so much that our brains treat it like background noise. I love that the widgets are helping you move those insights from cold storage into active daily conversation.

I’m curious—since you read so widely, what’s the one quote or book currently on your home screen that has sparked the most interesting real-world conversation so far?

Justin Underwood

@higio That is a good question. I read a lot of horror and darker books this year. The one most recently that has done this was a quote from either "The September House," or "Incidents Around the House."

It is a great tool to kickstart a conversation on books as well.

Hey @higio ,

I read alot of books. I suggest you add a feature in which person take camera photo of book page and dog-ear extract details and convert it into beautiful wallpaper.

Higio

@usman_sajid1 That is a brilliant suggestion! The goal of DogEar is to remove all friction between finding a great insight and actually seeing it every day.

We currently have the AI Book Import for digital highlights, but adding a 'Scan-to-Widget' feature for physical books is a logical next step on our roadmap. Turning a physical page into a digital anchor is exactly what we mean by Environmental Priming.

I’m curious—if you could snap a photo of one page right now to keep in your line of sight, which book would it be?

I started using DogEar a few weeks ago and can wholeheartedly give the developer kudos for creating a unique app and widget for my Android device (possibly it's on Apple iOS too?) anyway, you can easily setup rotating quotes from uploaded books you choose or let the app discover books and the most impactful quotes for you to discover new knowledge. It's easy to use and a convenient widget. I'm currently featuring Jungs psychology text and another book called Walden. Next week I might switch to a favourite, Atomic Habits. Buts it's fully customisable. Enjoy!

@travis_szolkowski Thanks for the support! I love the mix of Jung and Atomic Habits—that’s exactly the high-signal environment I built this for.

Regarding iOS: We are currently 100% focused on mastering Android’s Material You integration to ensure the experience feels native. It’s on the roadmap, but for now, we're building for the Android power users.

Which Jung quote is currently 'anchored' to your home screen? I'd love to know what's sticking!
