## What is Context?

Context

You know the feeling. A word comes up in a book, a podcast, or a meeting, and you let it slide past, because looking it up means a dictionary definition written in words you would also have to look up.

Context is for those words. Save one, and you get it explained the way a well-read friend would explain it: in plain English, with examples of how it is actually used, and the story of where it came from.

Saving a word takes seconds. Type it in, and if you like, say where you ran into it, whether that was the book you are reading, a show, or a conversation. Context uses that to explain the word as it was meant in your sentence, not just in the abstract. If you found it while reading on your phone, you can share it straight to Context from any app.

Every word you save comes back with four things. A plain English explanation with no dictionary jargon. Real examples showing how the word is genuinely used. Its etymology, so you know where it came from and how it got here. And a short note tying it back to the place you found it.

Your Today tab surfaces a single word from your library each morning. There are no streaks to protect and no decks to grind. Just one word, considered properly, and then you get on with your day.

Add the lock screen or home screen widget and today's word is waiting the next time you pick up your phone. You can set a daily reminder for a time that suits you, or leave it off entirely.

When you want to know what stuck, there are short quizzes on the words you have saved. They tell you what you actually remember rather than what merely felt familiar.

Everything you save stays in your library, searchable and tied to your Apple account, so it follows you to a new phone.

Start with today's word.
