Where did the idea come from?

Not everyone wants another platform, another account and another points system.

The idea is simple: a word appears in a notification, its translation follows a moment later, and then you get back to whatever you were doing. No pressure. No streak to protect. Just regular contact with the language.

No complicated manual

Three steps. That is all.

01

Upload your list

Import a simple CSV file or begin with the included Demo list.

02

Choose your pace

Set the interval between cards, language order and how answers are displayed.

03

Press Start

Learn in the background. Pause freezes the countdown, and the app remembers your place for tomorrow.
