## What is Metaphor Finder?

Ever stopped mid-page at "a pound of flesh"?

Open a browser and you're hit with ads and notifications. Ask a chatbot and a long conversation begins. Either way, the flow of your reading is broken.

Metaphor Finder is an AI dictionary for expressions from literature, the classics, the Bible, mythology, and history. It's a dictionary, not a chatbot: every answer arrives in the same clean format, with exactly as much as you need and nothing more.

CLEAN, DICTIONARY-STYLE ANSWERS
Type an expression and the answer is always structured the same way:
- Headword and source — which work it comes from, and where
- Figurative meaning — what it means in the sentence you're reading
- Origin and background — the story it grew out of
For unfamiliar words, it also lists the senses most often used in books. And when a source is uncertain, the app says so instead of making something up.

FOLLOW-UP SUGGESTIONS
Every answer ends with related expressions to explore next. "The forbidden fruit" leads to "the Garden of Eden" — one question flows naturally into the next.

MY LIBRARY — EVERY SEARCH BECOMES A BOOK
Each expression you look up is shelved as a book spine, organized by field: Bible, mythology, world classics, history. The more you read, the fuller your shelves.

WORD OF THE DAY
Every morning at 8, one expression from your collection comes back to you — so what you looked up once truly becomes yours.

HISTORY, PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Every search is saved automatically, and your history lives only on your device. No account. No login.

- You want a tidy, dictionary-style answer instead of a rambling chatbot reply
