Context Anchors tie every vocabulary capture to the sentence where you met the word. In Tide Review, you see that anchor first and swipe to grade recall before the definition appears—memory stays linked to what you actually read, not generic flashcard lists. • Dock words from Word Dock: attach a source snippet, book title, tags, and collection in one capture flow. • Organize Harbor Deck collections: search, sort, swipe to review or archive, and browse by fiction, news, or exam themes. • Run Tide Review sessions: spaced repetition queues words by mastery; batch sessions with swipe grading and session summaries. • Browse Anchor Stories: tap highlighted terms in bundled literary excerpts to pre-fill your dock with in-context anchors. • Track Compass Stats: streaks, weekly dock count, review accuracy, and collection breakdown; export your library as JSON. Everything runs local-first on your device. Words, collections, review history, and bundled story excerpts live in on-device JSON—no account required. Dictionary definitions and phonetics fetch from the Free Dictionary API when online and cache on device for later review. Export/import JSON for manual backup. Settings include daily review goals, optional local notifications, theme accent, and in-app feedback. Word Harbor is for readers who collect vocabulary where it matters—in the pages they finish.
