Overview

Dictionary Dad is a beautiful, lightweight dictionary extension that helps you look up, save, and actually remember new words.

🔍 Instant Definitions
Double-click any word on any webpage to see its definition in a gorgeous popup — with pronunciation, audio, examples, synonyms, and antonyms. No new tabs, no interruptions.

⌨️ Keyboard Shortcut
Select any text and press Ctrl+Shift+D (Cmd+Shift+D on Mac) for an instant lookup.

❤️ Love & Save Words
Found a word you admire? Love it. Want to remember it? Save it. Both collections are organized in the toolbar popup and a beautiful full-page gallery.

✨ Smart Word Highlighting
Saved words are automatically highlighted on every webpage you visit — a constant, gentle reminder of words you're learning. Choose your highlight color and intensity.

🧠 Spaced Repetition That Works
Saved words are reviewed 10 times over ~30 days on a scientifically-informed schedule. Reviews show the word in real-world sentences — not boring flashcards. Hit "Another Example" to see more context.

📖 Wikipedia Fallback
Can't find "CBD" or "ADHD" in the dictionary? Dictionary Dad automatically checks Wikipedia for acronyms, brands, scientific terms, and more.

🔒 100% Private
No accounts, no sign-ups, no analytics, no tracking. All data stored locally on your device. Export/import your data anytime.
