Learn French Passively — No Need to Even Open the App
https://i.redd.it/1dh60tkbdf0h1.gif
Hey everyone!
I've been frustrated with how quickly I was forgetting my learned vocab if I couldn't study actively for a few days (obligations or lack of motivation, etc...). So I built something different: an app whose main feature lives entirely outside the app itself.
It's a home screen widget that automatically cycles through flashcards (word → reading if needed → translation + audio if you tap on it). You glance at your phone home screen 50–100+ of times a day, why not make those useful for vocab retention?
How it works in practice:
- Pick your target language
- Choose or create decks (based on CEFR)
- The widget flips and refreshes automatically every X seconds (you can set it)
- No notification spam or streaks — just passive exposure when you look at your phone
App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/peek-learn-language-passively/id6759779792 (free with literally 1 ad/day maximum, tried to be as fair as possible)
I made this for myself as I keep forgetting Japanese Kanjis, but thought some of you might find it useful as a complement to Anki/Duolingo/immersion/etc.
