Words and inspiration hunting
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Proactive vocabulary building and inspirations hunting with AI.
You decide what to catch — by exploring what genuinely interests you.
Learning words? Better catch words!
Catch them, with the superpower of AI, from photos of a page you are reading, a panel in museum, a road sign, a historical site, a piece of art, of anything really; or from screenshots, news, wikipedia, social media, texts...
Not sure where to start? Just set your language level, choose a field of interest, and tap the red aerial net to take a lucky swing.
In Catchwords, the words and phrases will always be caught in their natural habitat, with in-depth, context-aware explanation and etymology.
No built-in vocabulary lists. No tedious drills or tests. You decide what to catch — by exploring what genuinely interests you. Efficient, engaging, and inspired.
