Introducing https://kamusi.io, offline mobile friendly dictionary for Swahili words. The kamusi consists of a random word of the day and a search feature to look up words. The search results include the definition of searched word and some might have example usage in a sentence and synonyms.

You can install this dictionary on your mobile device, laptop or desktop. This was designed as a progressive web app meaning it’s a website that can be accessible as a mobile application. Once installed you can access it even when offline.

To install visit the website http://kamusi.io on your mobile or laptop browser then “Add to Home Screen”. On Android (Chrome/Firefox) tap the three-dot menu and select Install app or Add to Home screen. On iPhone (Safari) tap the share button then scroll down to select “Add to Home screen”. On Mac (Safari) click on the share button and then the “Add to Dock” option will install it on your dock. On a laptop (Chrome) you will see “Install App” icon at the far right end of the URL bar.

I would like to mention that this an ad free resource with no tracking of usage which means I don’t get to know from where and how many people are using the kamusi. I do hope you share your feedback with me 🙂

I would like to thank Kaleb for the words. The words on the kamusi come from his GitHub repository here https://github.com/Kalebu/kamusi. This project is also open sourced and the code can be accessed here https://github.com/bmwasaru/kamusi-io
