How it works
Open today's edition
Real stories from the country whose language you are learning, simplified to beginner, intermediate or advanced.
Tap what you don't know
Every word opens with translation, pronunciation and a one-line grammar note. Save it with one tap.
Niko brings it back
Spaced repetition returns each saved word right before you would forget it, inside new stories, not flashcards.
What's in every edition
Daily edition
A fresh set of stories every day, so there is always a reason to come back.
Tap-to-translate
No dictionary, no copy-paste. Touch a word and it explains itself.
Native audio
Hear every word and every article read by a natural voice.
Quizzes
Each article ends with a short quiz to check you actually got it.
Word practice
Your saved words come back as review sessions tuned to your memory.

Meet Niko
Niko is the editor, the paperboy and the tutor. He picks the stories, keeps your streak honest and never lets a saved word slip away. Grumpy on the icon, friendly in the app.
Niko Class for teachers
Run a classroom edition: share a frozen paper with your students, follow their words and quiz results, and skip the registration headache for kids.
