Notari keeps a live sidebar open as you write — rhymes, synonyms, assonance, alliteration, and more — all from a built-in phonetic database. No internet, no account, just the words.
No AI. No autocomplete. Just you and the right tools to find the words yourself.
Results are matched on actual phonetics, not just spelling — so "night" rhymes with "ignite", and "phone" alliterates with "fine".
Matches words that share the same vowel-and-consonant ending — the stressed vowel through the coda. Both perfect rhymes and near rhymes, sorted by how common the word is.
Words that share the same stressed vowel sound, regardless of how they end. It's a subtler kind of echo — useful when a full rhyme would feel too on-the-nose.
Rhymes that reach back across two or more syllables. Good for longer words where a single-syllable rhyme would feel thin.
Words that open with the same consonant cluster, matched phonetically — so "phone" and "fine" count, even though they start with different letters.
Synonyms are grouped by part of speech, so you're not handed a noun when you needed a verb. And if a synonym doesn't quite fit, antonyms, hypernyms, and hyponyms help you find the shape of what you actually meant.
Little things that make the writing session feel right.
Put letters (A, B, C…) at the end of each line to keep track of your rhyme scheme while you write. Toggle it on when you want it, off when you don't.
Highlights every occurrence of the word under your cursor across the document. Handy for noticing when you've used the same word four times in a paragraph.
Shows syllable counts in the margin, per line. Nice for meter, haiku, anything where you're counting on your fingers.
For any word you hover or select, Notari shows the full phonetic breakdown — ARPABET transcription, syllable count, stress pattern, rhyme key, vowel sequence. Mostly useful, occasionally just fun to look at.
