- Search is described as on-device and offline; the site also discloses event telemetry that records found words and pages opened, but not typed feelings.
Field notes
The page describes a few hundred entries, each linked to a Wiktionary dictionary entry; its sample is тоска (toska), with a shortened, adapted Russian definition under CC BY-SA 4.0. Search, saved words, notes, and sketches are said to stay on-device unless iCloud is enabled, while separate event telemetry includes which word was found and which pages were opened. The app is explicitly marked not yet on the App Store.
