Rhymestash

Rhymestash is a calm, single-purpose rhyming dictionary built for songwriters, rappers, and poets who actually want to write - not be sold a subscription.

Type any common English word. Rhymestash instantly returns Perfect, Near, Slant, Assonance, and Multi-syllable rhymes pulled from a real phonetic dictionary that ships inside the app. No internet needed. No account. No ads. No "trial". Just rhymes.

WHY RHYMESTASH

- Other rhyme apps quietly call a server, paywall the results, and bury the actual words under upgrade prompts.

- Rhymestash is the opposite. It works on a plane. It works in a basement studio with no signal. It works the second you open it.

WHAT YOU GET

- Five rhyme modes side-by-side: Perfect, Near, Slant, Assonance, Multi — all five for every word in one tap. The Multi tab finds double and triple rhymes used by professional songwriters and rappers.

- Syllable count and detected poetic foot (iamb, trochee, dactyl, anapest) on every search, so you can fit a word to a line.

- A bundled, curated subset of the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary (CMUdict) - about 9,400 of the most-common English words with full ARPABET pronunciations.

- Tap any result to copy it to your clipboard.

- Long-press to save a word to Favorites.

- Searchable, swipe-to-delete History.

- A clear, dark "songwriter's notebook" interface with SF Rounded type.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Rhymestash has no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no subscription, and no developer backend. The dictionary, the rhyme index, your history, and your favorites all live on your device and stay there. The microphone and network are never used. The PrivacyInfo manifest declares only the standard UserDefaults reason code required for local preferences.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE

Rhymestash is a single $0.99 purchase. No in-app purchases. No upsells. No daily limits. The features above are the whole product.

GREAT FOR

- Songwriters who write on the road and don't trust hotel Wi-Fi.

- Rappers and poets who want slant and assonance results, not just "perfect" matches.

- Students working on a sonnet or a sestina.

- Anyone whose other rhyming dictionary is now a sub.
