Learning Vocabulary is Broken.

You look a word up, you understand it for a moment, and then... you forget it. Traditional methods take words out of their natural environment, making them hard to remember.

😴

Passive Learning

Looking up definitions gives you momentary understanding, but it doesn't stick.

📄

Lack of Context

Flashcard apps remove words from the rich context that gives them meaning.

Extra Effort

You have to constantly switch between what you're reading and a dictionary app.

How It Works

Three simple steps to transform your reading into vocabulary mastery

1

Select & Save

Double-click any word to get AI-powered meanings, translations, and context. Add it to your personal word list with one click.
