About LeafyApp
LeafyApp lets users select words on screen, including in images, scanned pages, PDFs, and subtitles. On-device OCR reads the surrounding sentence, and the app saves the word, context, source, and date.
Saved words can be organized into folders and reviewed with spaced repetition. The app is free, with a daily lookup limit; it uses AI definitions and sends the word and surrounding sentence for processing.
