About
Learn one interesting thing a day. Then it comes back, so you actually keep it
HOW A DAY LOOKS
Morning. A notification arrives at a time you pick. An idiom you've heard a hundred times but never said out loud, or a word you use every day without knowing where its name comes from. Twenty seconds, then you get on with your day.
Daytime. A widget on your home or lock screen shows today's term and keeps the answer back. You see it every time you pick up the phone, and remembering it is the practice. Tap to see the answer, tap again to hide it.
Evening. One question: still remember this? Yes or no, answered right from the notification.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT
Say yes and it comes back in three days, then a week, then two, then a month. Say no and it returns sooner, with the meaning spelled out again. Nothing is punished: forgetting just tells the app what to do next.
Months later this adds up to something you can look at: how many are still with you. Your collection marks what is fresh, what is warm, what is cooling, and what is worth another look.
WHAT IS IN IT
Get a daily mix of things worth knowing, drawn from all our topics. Or pick the topics yourself with Learn Daily+, and change your selection whenever you like.
Learn the expressions you recognise but never use. Find the exact word instead of the approximate one. Understand the world around you, from the things you use every day to the way people think and behave. Nothing is generated on the fly, and everything ships with the app: it works with no signal, on a plane, in a lift.
If today's thing taught you nothing, mark it known and another takes its place: once a week on the free plan, any day with Learn Daily+.
THINGS OF YOUR OWN
Write your own cards, like a phrase from a meeting or a word from a book, and they join the same evening checks as everything else. Ten of them on the free plan, as many as you like with Learn Daily+.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Different colour themes, three of them free. Learn Daily+ adds the rest and a home screen icon to match.
WORTH SHOWING
Send a card to somebody as a picture, in your theme, with the meaning on it. On day thirty, a hundred, half a year and a year there is a poster with the number on it, just to celebrate a little.
NO PRESSURE BUILT IN
No ads, anywhere, in any version.
No streak to lose. Miss a day and you've missed a day, not everything.
No account to create. No analytics, no trackers, no third party of any kind: we cannot see what you read, because nothing is sent anywhere. Your collection syncs between your own devices through your iCloud account and goes no further. Export everything you have written at any time.
LEARN DAILY+
Open and search everything you have collected. Pick the topics yourself. Every theme and a matching icon. Your history: the week, the month, the whole run. Your own cards without a limit. Swap a card any day.
Monthly, yearly with a free week, or one payment for life. The yearly plan shares with your family: up to five other people, each with their own collection.
The thing a day, the evening question and the widget stay free.
