Carefully curated collections — one tap adds them to your library

📁 Assign to Collection

✓

Quick Start

Five things to know — then you're ready.

📚

Library is where all your words live. Add anything you want to learn — words, phrases, idioms, or full sentences. Your library is your personal collection and the heart of the app.

✨

Lists is where you'll find curated collections to explore and add to your library, plus any personal lists you've created to organize your words.

🃏

Cards is where you study your library as flashcards. Flip each card and rate yourself — Hard, OK, or Easy — to let the app schedule your review automatically using spaced repetition.

🎯

Quiz is where you test yourself — multiple choice, reverse quiz, or typing practice.

📈

Progress is where you track your results, review quiz history, and export or import your words and lists.

Going Deeper

← Quick Start

📚 Library

Every word you add or import lives in your library. Lists are labels — they organize your words by theme, topic, or type, but your words always belong to your library. Deleting a list never deletes your words.

Daily Word — each day a word from your library is featured at the top as a quick review.

Adding words — type a word, phrase, or idiom in either language, then its meaning. Tap Agregar to save.

Category — set to Vocabulary, Phrase, or Idiom to organize and filter your library later.

Tapping a card opens it to show the full entry and action buttons. Tap again to close.

Edit — change any information on a card.

Master — mark a word you know confidently. Mastered words are tracked in Progress and can be filtered out of Cards and Quiz.

Remove — permanently deletes the word. There is no undo.

Search — find any word instantly in either language.

Sort — organize by Newest First, A–Z, or by Category.

Filter tabs — view All or filter by Vocabulary, Phrase, Idiom, Mastered, or Due (words scheduled for spaced repetition review today).

✨ Lists

Curated lists are built into the app. Tap Add to Library to bring a list's words into your library. Tap Remove from Library to take them back out — the list stays available anytime.

Study This List filters your entire app — Library, Cards, and Quiz — to show only that list's words. A banner confirms what you're studying. Tap Show All to return to everything.

Personal lists are collections you create. Type a name and tap Create List.

Adding words to a personal list — use the list chip above Agregar when adding new words. Words already in your library can be assigned using the 📁 Collection button on their card — this appears once you have a personal list created.

Export This List — save a personal list as a backup or share it with someone.

Delete This List — removes the list label. Your words stay safely in your library.

🃏 Cards

Swipe left or right or use the arrow buttons to move between cards.

The front shows the word or phrase. Tap 🔊 to hear it. Tap the card to flip it.

The back shows the translation, category, and any notes.

Spaced Repetition — toggle on to activate the learning algorithm. Rate each card Hard, OK, or Easy. The app schedules exactly when you'll see it again. Tap ⓘ for a full explanation.

Filter tabs — filter by All, Vocabulary, Phrase, Idiom, or Mastered.

Study This List — if active, Cards shows only your current study list.

Shuffle — jumps to a random card.

🎯 Quiz

Tests everything in your library — or just your current study list.

Multiple Choice — choose the correct translation from four options.

Reverse Quiz — the translation is shown, you choose the correct word.

Typing Practice — type the answer yourself. The most challenging mode. Not case sensitive.

Category filter — focus on a specific type before starting.

Start — the button shows which mode you've selected.

Results — your final score and time at the end. Past quizzes are saved in Progress — tap Replay to retake any of them.

📈 Progress

Stats — total words, mastered, quizzes done, and average score. Bars show your library by category.
