Download Capecho for Mac.
Capture words while you read on your Mac, understand them in context, and start building a vocabulary you actually review. Available now on Mac — the iPhone review companion is coming.
Free · macOS 14+ · notarized & signed
A global shortcut, on-device recognition, a free word explanation (core meaning + POS, with senses + pronunciation behind an expand), and one-keystroke save. You review right here on the Mac too.
Status: available now · direct download
Your captured words will sync to your phone and come back as spaced-repetition reviews, so idle minutes become review minutes.
Status: coming soon
Early, honest, and actively developed.
Mac capture and review are available now. Mobile review is coming; mobile capture is later. Things will change, and your feedback shapes what ships next.
The app is notarized and auto-updates itself, so you stay on the latest build without re-downloading. An honest cadence, not manufactured urgency.
The core loop is free — up to 200 saved words and 10 in-context explanations a day. Pro ($6/mo or $48/yr) lifts both ceilings, and hitting a free limit never locks what you've saved.
- ·Capture, the full word explanation (meaning + POS, senses, pronunciation)
- ·Word Book, FSRS review, cross-device sync, Anki / CSV export
Free up to 200 saved words and 10 in-context explanations a day. Pro lifts both — $6/mo or $48/yr.
- ·A Mac you read on (macOS 14 or later).
- ·The screen-recording permission (macOS labels it Screen Recording) — used only at your keypress; the system returns just the recognized text, the screen image never reaches Capecho, nothing uploaded. Or use copy/paste mode.
- ·A directly notarized, signed Mac app (not the App Store yet). Sign-in is Google or email.
What happens next.
Open the app, grant the one permission (or use copy/paste mode), and press the shortcut on your first word. Sign in whenever you want to sync and review across devices — and you'll get a heads-up here when the phone companion is ready.
