Highlights

* Blazing fast searches: punctuation, diacritics and case insensitive — find entries instantly.

* Bookmarks & history: save and revisit important articles quickly.

* Dictionary management: import, enable/disable and organize multiple dictionary files.

* Customizable article appearance: add your own CSS to change fonts, colors and layout.

* Random article for discovery, volume-button navigation, and fullscreen reading mode.

Why OSS‑Dict? OSS‑Dict is designed to work entirely offline — your dictionaries stay on your device for fast lookups and better privacy. It’s lightweight, configurable, and ideal for travelers, students, and anyone who needs reliable dictionary access without an internet connection.

Network access The app requests the INTERNET permission for internal use by the built-in renderer and to open external links. This permission is not required for core dictionary lookups — the app functions offline with local dictionary files.

Open source OSS‑Dict is open source and available on GitHub. Contributions, bug reports and feature requests are welcome.
