A digital commonplace book for the modern reader.
DOG EARS is a thoughtfully designed space for collecting, organizing, and engaging with the literary passages that resonate with you.
THE STORY
In an age of endless scrolling and fleeting impressions, within an online world geared towards the shallows and worded by artificial and human next-token predictors, carefully curated and exceptionally beautiful writing deserves a home. DOG EARS was born from the simple observation that readers have been marking pages for centuries—turning down corners, underlining passages, and returning to cherished passages again and again.
We've translated this timeless practice into a digital experience that honors the contemplative nature of reading. Whether you're a student looking for exercise, a writer collecting inspiration, or simply someone who believes in the power of well-chosen words, DOG EARS provides the tools to capture and cultivate your literary discoveries.
THE PHILOSOPHY
We believe that reading is not passive consumption but active engagement. Every quote you save becomes part of your intellectual landscape, shaping how you think and express yourself.
Our florilegium—a Latin term meaning "gathering of flowers"—lets you arrange your collected knockouts into meaningful categories. The memorization tools help you internalize these ideas, moving them from your collection into your consciousness.
