AcroLens
New in 1.1: select text in any Mac app, then use Services > Look Up with AcroLens for context-aware acronym results.
Description
Understand acronyms from Safari or any Mac app without breaking focus.
AcroLens gives you the right acronym meaning for the sentence you are reading, not a long list of unrelated definitions. Select text in Safari, Mail, Notes, PDFs, documents, or other macOS apps, then send a short context window to AcroLens for the most likely explanation.
Built for research, work, technical reading, finance pages, medical articles, product docs, and any place where the same acronym can mean very different things.
