About:
EBMac is a native macOS application designed to view and search electronic dictionary files in the EB/EPWING format, commonly used for Japanese dictionaries. It provides a fast, dedicated interface for looking up terms and kanji characters, offering features like live search, kanji stroke order animations, and clipboard monitoring for instant lookups. This tool is essential for students, translators, and learners of Japanese who need offline access to comprehensive reference materials.
Key Features:
  • Support for EPWING and EB dictionary formats
  • Instant search with clipboard monitoring
  • Kanji lookup with stroke order animations
  • Bookmarking and history management
Use Cases:
  • Learning Japanese with offline dictionary resources
  • Translating text with quick lookups of unknown words or kanji
Alternatives:
  • GoldenDict – Cross-platform and supports more formats, but EBMac is more specialized and optimized for EPWING on macOS.
  • Yomichan – Browser extension for pop-up definitions, whereas EBMac is a standalone desktop application.
