What Glossary Builder does
Anyone dealing a lot with officialese, contracts or technical texts inevitably collects terms they keep having re-explained. The glossary builder ends the endless looking-up: you build your own glossary in which each term is defined cleanly once and is immediately to hand next time.
The principle is deliberately simple. You create a term, write the definition and assign it to a category. Done. Through the list you find everything again, and because the entries are categorized, even a large glossary stays clear instead of turning into an unsorted scrap-note mess.
The categories cover the typical building sites: legal, tax, business, government, insurance, technology and medicine, plus a free category for anything you need yourself. So you can separate your tax vocabulary from your legal terms and browse a single area deliberately instead of scrolling through everything.
Ready-made templates give you a starting point instead of staring at an empty glossary. Rather than typing in every term by hand, you can draw on prepared collections and adapt them to your needs - especially with bureaucratic German this saves a lot of typing.
If you already have a list, you do not have to start from scratch. Via the import function you paste terms in instead of creating them one by one. And via the statistics view you see at a glance how large your glossary is and how it spreads across the categories.
The export is the real door-opener. Your glossary is not trapped in the tool: you can export it as CSV for the spreadsheet, as JSON for further processing or as Markdown for documentation. This turns your private collection of terms into a document you can share in the team or move into a wiki.
Everything runs in your browser. Your terms and definitions stay on your device; there is no signup and no server reading along. Whether you keep a personal officialese dictionary, build a technical glossary for your team or fix terminology for a project - the glossary builder is the quiet place where your terms lie in order.

Who needs this
Frequently asked questions
Why would I need my own glossary?
For anything where the same technical terms keep appearing - officialese, contract language, a project vocabulary or your industry's abbreviations. Instead of looking up each term afresh, you define it once and have it permanently ordered to hand.
In which formats can I export?
As CSV for spreadsheets, as JSON for technical further processing and as Markdown for documentation and wikis. So your glossary is not trapped in the tool but can be reused anywhere.
Can I import an existing list?
Yes. Via the import function you paste in an existing term list instead of creating each entry by hand. With larger collections this saves a lot of time.
Which categories are there?
Legal, tax, business, government, insurance, technology and medicine, plus a free custom category. This lets almost any technical vocabulary be sensibly sorted and searched separately.
Do my terms stay private?
Yes. The glossary builder runs in your browser; your terms and definitions never leave your device. There is no signup and no server that sees your entries. You only share your glossary if you export it yourself.
