Quicktionary

by•
Look up any word, in any app, without leaving what you're reading. You're reading an article, an email, or a PDF and hit a word you don't know. You copy it, switch to a dictionary app, search it, then try to find your place again. Quicktionary kills that friction. Select any text in any app — browser, email, document, anywhere — tap Quicktionary from the share menu, and the definition appears as an overlay right over what you were reading. Tap any underlined word in the passage for its meaning, or use AI to explain the whole paragraph in context. Never lose your place again. On top of that: bookmark words you want to remember, quiz yourself on your personal collection, and unscramble words from your own search history — so you actually retain what you look up. Built for: readers, learners, non-native English speakers, students, and anyone who wants to understand — not just look up — new words.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Quicktionary because every dictionary app I tried had the same problem — you had to leave what you were reading to use it. The lookup was fine; the context switch killed it. The overlay is the core idea: select text anywhere, get definitions there, go back to reading. No switching apps, no losing your place. A few things I'm especially proud of: It works everywhere — any app that lets you select text works with Quicktionary AI context mode — not just "what does this word mean" but "what does it mean here, in this sentence" Quiz & Scramble from your own history — the words you test yourself on are ones you actually encountered, so retention is way higher Would love your feedback — especially from people who read a lot in a second language. That's the use case I designed around and I want to get it right. https://play.google.com/store/ap...
