- Mac readers learning vocabulary from PDFs and other screen text
- Worth noticing
- Saved words retain their source sentence; the site says screenshots are discarded and only the word and sentence leave the Mac.
Field notes
The page describes lookups as automatically saved with their source sentence, source, and date, then organized into folders such as a language, course, or book. Review cards blank out the word in its original sentence, and the site names FSRS-5 as its scheduling algorithm, with intervals it says can range from an hour to ten years.
