## What is Acronyms & Definitions?

Acronyms & Definitions

Stop forgetting what that acronym means. Acronyms & Definitions is a simple, powerful reference tool that lets you build your own personal glossary of terms, abbreviations, and definitions.

Why you need it:
Every industry, organization, and field has its own language. Acronyms & Definitions helps you capture and organize unfamiliar terms as you encounter them — so you never have to look up the same thing twice.

Key Features:

• Save acronyms alongside their full definitions and detailed descriptions
• Categorize entries by type — General, Industry, Corporate, Government, Technical, Legal, Financial, or Cultural
• Add quotes with reference documents to track where definitions came from
• Attach images for visual explanations such as diagrams and charts
• Search across all fields to find entries instantly
• Import and export CSV files — share your glossary with colleagues on any platform
• iCloud sync keeps your data up to date across iPhone and Mac

Built for professionals, students, and anyone who deals with specialized terminology.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-05-23

• Quotes have their own view. Each acronym now has a "Description" / "Quotes" picker — switch between them without scrolling past one to reach the other.
• Spell-check in editable fields. Misspellings are now flagged with red underlines in the Definition, Description, Quote text, and Reference Document fields. The Acronym field is intentionally exempt.
• Smart capitalization for Definition. Each word in the Definition field auto-capitalizes as you type.
• Acronym field cleaned up. Autocorrect and spell-check are turned off for Acronym, so initialisms like "API" or "NASA" no longer get red-underlined or rewritten.

### 2.0 — 2026-03-25

• Image Attachments — Attach images to any entry for visual explanations such as diagrams, charts, and screenshots. Supported on both iPhone and Mac.
• CSV Export & Import on iPhone — Share your glossary with anyone via CSV. Export through the share sheet or import from the Files app.
• Swipe Actions for Quotes (iPhone) — Swipe left to delete a quote, swipe right to edit.
• Improved Mac Add Item View — Redesigned layout with grouped fields, keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+Return to create, Escape to cancel).
• Smarter Search — Detail view now shows "No Results" when search finds no matches instead of displaying a stale entry.
• Empty State Improvements — App icon and helpful prompts shown when no items exist or no item is selected.
• iCloud Sync for Images — Attached images sync automatically across your iPhone and Mac.
• CloudKit Sync Reliability — Fixed an issue where remote changes could overwrite local edits on Mac.
