Sorry, might not be the right place, but I thought I’d ask.

I’m looking for a FOSS app where you can create your own dictionary: insert words and their meanings, and smoothly sort them in different word classes. I tried out the app Kalimaty, and it’s great, except for the fact it’s subscription-based and does not have many options for the free tier.

If there is no such app like this, is there another way I can make my own dictionary? I have written the words down in my notes but because there are so many it’s hard to keep track of all of them and it slows the Notes app down.

Cheers!

*should mention I am on iPhone.

    I think what you are probably actually after, based on your description/comments is a flash card app, not a dictionary app?

    To that end, seems like a guy on the open source subreddit made a thread about it and built one that’s FOSS. Some other good suggestions in the thread, even if his solution isn’t what you’re after.

      I think it might be too heavy for the simple functions I’m looking for. I just need some dictionary-looking page where I can store words / definitions and have the option to practice them.

    Not exactly an app, but a few years ago, I had a lexicography lecture where we used the website Lexonomy. The interface is quite easy to understand once you get the hang of it. I don’t know how easy it is to use it and edit stuff there within a phone browser though.
