Professor Pip

A new word every hour — without ever opening the app.

Stick a widget on your lock screen. Every time you check your phone, absorb a new word — definition, part of speech, and a natural example sentence. Over a week of glances, that's a few dozen new words you didn't have to study to learn.

What's inside

1,500+ hand-picked words

Every entry comes with a custom-written example sentence — no recycled dictionary copy.

16 curated topics

From Beautiful Words and Slang to Old Money and Too Fancy. Follow the ones that fit your vibe.

Meet Pip

A friendly bookworm mascot walks you through onboarding and "speaks" each example sentence in a typing-style speech bubble.

Lock-screen first

The widget rotates a deterministic word each hour, sourced from the topics you've followed.

Pricing

Pip Annual — $59.99/year (~$5/month) with a 3-day free trial. Two topics are free forever. The other 14 unlock with a subscription.
