Phrasebook
A private phrasebook in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
You learned how to order coffee in Lisbon, beautifully, and forgot it somewhere over France. The Phrasebook keeps the phrases you actually need — collected by you, for the situations you actually get into — instead of a textbook's opinion of what travelers say.
Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of phrasebook entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your entries never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working. How privacy works across the Travel tools →
Questions people ask
How do I build my own travel phrasebook?
You add phrases as you learn or need them — the one that got you the good table, the one that fixed the ticket machine. It's a list of your phrases, which beats a generic phrasebook precisely because it's yours.
Does the Phrasebook work offline abroad, without roaming data?
Yes — it's one HTML file that runs in your browser with no connection at all, which is exactly what you want at a market stall abroad. No account, nothing uploaded, yours to keep.
Is this a translation app?
No — it translates nothing and keeps only what you put in. Think of it as the paper phrasebook's stubborn digital cousin: it holds your phrases and stays out of the way.
