A review session that fits in a walk
The phone app is where Rayaad stops being something you sit down for. Swipe through the cards that are due, or put the phone in your pocket and let listen mode read them to you — either way the answers land in the same schedule as everything else.

your word
what it means
Mark “didn’t know”
What is native about it
Not a website in an app icon
Real swipe physics
The card follows your thumb on the UI thread, with haptics on commit.
Background audio
Keeps playing with the screen off, and answers headphone and car controls.
Offline clips
Audio you have heard is kept on the device for a session with no signal.
Same account
One deck and one schedule across the phone, the browser and the extension.
Listen mode
The only review you can do with your hands full
It builds a playlist out of the cards that are due and reads them: the word, a pause long enough to actually recall it, then the meaning. If you missed one, one tap marks it — and that mark is a real review, scheduled by the same FSRS as a swipe.
- Plays with the screen off and on the lock screen.
- Picks up where you stopped.
- Free on every plan, including the clips you have already heard.
Where it fits
A commute, a walk, washing up, the gym. The sessions people actually keep are the ones that fit inside something they were doing anyway — which is the same reason the browser extension exists.
How the audio is madeWhat is available right now, without the marketing
The iOS and Android apps are built, signed and uploaded, and they are in closed testing. That means they exist and work; it does not mean you can install them from a store today. Rayaad would rather say that than put two store badges here that link to nothing.
In the meantime the web app is genuinely usable on a phone rather than technically usable: it installs to the home screen, opens in its own window, reviews offline, and plays cached audio. The gaps against native are background audio with the screen off, haptics, and the offline clip cache — which is exactly the list the phone apps exist to close.
The download page tracks the real status of every surface and is the one place that changes when something ships.
About the phone apps
Can I install the iOS or Android app today?
In closed testing on TestFlight. Not yet on the App Store. In closed testing on Play. Not yet publicly listed. The web app works fully on a phone in the meantime — offline review included — and installs to your home screen.
What is listen mode?
A hands-free session built from the cards that are due: the word, a pause, the meaning, then the next one. It plays in the background and on the lock screen, responds to headphone and car controls, and the answers it records count as reviews like any other.
Does the phone app work without a connection?
Yes. Your deck and review history are stored on the device, and clips you have played are cached for offline listening. Reviews sync when you are back.
Will my progress match the web?
Yes — one account, one deck, one schedule. Each answer carries its own identity so the same review arriving from two devices is stored once, and the server recomputes a card from its full history rather than from whichever device spoke last.
Are there notifications?
Only if you ask for them, and only as a review reminder you set yourself. There is no streak, no daily goal and no engagement nagging by default.
