How do I import my existing list?
Open Settings, then Import Quotes. There are three ways in:
- Magic Import: paste a messy pile of text from Notes, Keep, or anywhere else,
or paste cells straight from a spreadsheet. The app splits it into separate
quotes and guesses speakers and dates where it can. You get a preview of
every row before anything happens.
- Import from file: .txt, .csv, Word
(.docx), Excel (.xlsx / .xls),
.html, or .md.
- Restore from backup: a JSON file this app exported earlier.
Nothing saves until you confirm. Your paste stays on your phone while you
review it, and if an import goes sideways you can undo the whole batch right
after.
Not yet supported: PDF, older Word .doc, photos of a page, and live Google Drive
links. Export or copy into one of the formats above first.
Why did my import stop at 500?
Big imports go 500 at a time so nothing gets mangled. Your file still has the
rest. Import it again once the first batch is saved.
How do I export?
Open Settings, then Export Your Quotes. JSON brings the backup back into the app.
CSV opens in a spreadsheet. Take a copy whenever you want.
What happens to my data?
Quotes live on your private board. Only the people you invite can see them. We do not sell your data,
stick ads next to it, or use your quotes to train anything. The app does collect basic crash reports and
usage stats (which screens get opened, whether an import worked) so I can fix what breaks. Those reports
never include the words in your quotes. You can export anytime, and you can ask us to delete your account.
Full detail: Privacy policy. Deletion requests: Delete my
data.
Quotes belong to the board they were added to. If you leave a shared board
or delete your account, everyone else on that board keeps the archive. It is no longer
linked to you.
How do I delete my account?
Settings, then Delete account. It removes your sign-in right away, no email required.
If other people still use the board, they keep the quotes. If the board is only yours, it is
deleted with your account. If you would rather we handle it, use Delete my
data.
Is it really free?
Yes. Adding quotes, searching, sharing cards, and Who Said It? are free with no
ads, and there is no cap on how many quotes you can save. There will probably be
some optional paid extras down the road to cover the server bill, but they will
be extras. Your archive, and everything you need to keep it, stays free.
Is there an iPhone version?
Yes — iPhone is in testing alongside Android. Email
beta@familyquoteboard.com
and say you want iPhone; I'll send a TestFlight invite.
How do I add another parent?
Open Settings, then Share Access. Invite them by email and choose a role. They sign in
with Google and join the same board.
What if I lose my phone?
Sign in on a new phone with the same Google account. The board is there. Quotes are text, not
locked to one device. Use Export Your Quotes if you want a copy of your own. Quotes you
add while offline show up once you are back online.
