A word a day,
where you
already look.

Add a word you want to remember. It comes back explained — what it means, how it sounds, the words it lives near — in whichever language you choose. Then it waits on your Lock Screen, where you pass it a hundred times without meaning to.

Where it lives

Wed 26 Aug 9:41 resilience [rɪˈzɪliəns] grit · toughness The ability to recover quickly from difficulty.
Two widgets, side by side: the word, and what it means.

How it works

Type a word. Pick the language you want it explained in, or don't — English is the default. A moment later it's a card: meaning, pronunciation, an example sentence, close alternatives.

Add the widget to your Lock Screen and the word changes through the day on a schedule you set. No notifications, no streaks, nothing to keep up with. It's just there when you glance down.

What it costs

Free: a word a day, and your last thirty. Pro is $9.99 a year and Forever is $19.99 once — both remove the limit and open the whole archive.
