German that
comes to you.No opening required.
Three words a day, arriving on your lock screen. You read them between two messages, and they stay. That is the whole app.
iPhone and Apple Watch. Nothing to set up.
A normal Thursday. Nobody opened anything.
How it works
Each word twice, hours apart.
You get three words in the morning. Each one comes back later the same day — the second time inside a real sentence, so you meet it doing its job rather than sitting in a list.
Where the words appear
The same three words, wherever you look.
The notifications are the point, but they are not the only place. Put a widget on the home screen, on the lock screen, or wear it — it is the same pack, kept in step, and there is still nothing to open.
Home screen
TAGES
Lock screen and wrist
The chrome stays in German on purpose. Every word of it — heute, Wörter, für — sits at A2 or below, which is at or under the level of whoever is reading it. On a phone you are already learning from, that is one more thing to absorb rather than one more thing to translate.
What it won't do
Nothing is counting you.
Most language apps are built to make skipping a day feel like a loss. This one is built so that skipping a day costs nothing at all.
- No streakMiss a week. Come back. Everything is where you left it.
- No points, no levels to grindThere is no score, so there is nothing to protect.
- No leaderboardYou are not in a race with strangers.
- No daily goal turning redThe app never nags, and never guilts.
The words
Every word written by hand.
Nothing here is scraped from a frequency list. Each entry carries its article and plural, its past forms, a translation, and a sentence a person might actually say. Pick the level that sounds like you and the words follow. Already know one? Swap it, and another takes its place.
- A2 · Basics
- “I can get by in simple situations.”
- B1 · Independent
- “Everyday life is fine, longer talks are hard.”
- B2 · Advanced
- “I understand a lot, the words escape me.”
- C1 · Proficient
- “I am after nuanced, precise vocabulary.”
Price
One price. No tiers.
Everything is included from the first day: all four levels, the widgets, the Apple Watch face, and the notifications that are the point of the whole thing.
