Quote of the Day widget for Windows
A fixture of nearly every desktop suite ever made, done without a network request: the quotes ship with the app. Choose a category or take the whole bank, have the quote change daily (at your local midnight, not UTC's) or hourly, or only when you click. The refresh button in the header skips one you have seen, and Copy puts the line and its author on the clipboard. Add your own quotes in the settings, one per line as text and author, and the widget uses those instead: team mottos, lines from a book, things your kids said.
