QuickWord

Select a word anywhere, get its definition as a notification. Offline.
Version: 1.0.3
Added: 31-10-2026
Updated: 31-10-2026
QuickWord answers "what does this word mean" with the least possible
interruption: select a word in any app, tap QuickWord in the text-selection
menu, and the definition appears as a notification. No app switch, and it
works offline.

Features:

• Lookup from any app's text-selection menu or share sheet
• Notification actions: Thesaurus (swaps to synonyms in place), Open, Save
• 1.4 million words from the English Wiktionary (CC BY-SA), fully offline
• Wikipedia fallback for names and places (with attribution), with an
optional offline pack of the 50,000 most-read articles
• Serif-typeset word pages, prefix search, recents and favourites
• Pronunciation (IPA + text-to-speech)
• No ads, no tracking, no accounts. MIT licensed.

Only a handful of sample words are bundled. The full dictionary (~120 MB)
downloads when you tap Download on the home screen, once; on a metered
connection the app asks first and offers to wait for Wi-Fi. Until then, words
outside the sample still resolve through the Wikipedia fallback when online.
The offline Wikipedia pack (38 MB) is optional; get it from About → Storage &
data.
