How it works

Your brain already loves pictures.
We just use that.

01

See it

A new word arrives as a picture first — 'wanderlust' is a coastline from a plane window, not a dictionary line.

02

Recall it

The image comes back without the word. You reach for it — and that tiny struggle is what builds the memory.

03

Lock it in

Rate how it felt. The scheduler brings the word back in 10 minutes, a day, or a week — right before you'd forget.

Pop quiz

Feel how a Picto card works

No definitions to memorize — your eyes do the work. Look at the picture, trust your gut, pick the word. That tiny moment of recall is exactly what locks a word in.

    IPA and native audio on every card. Tap, listen, shadow.

  • 3

    Definition in plain English

    No dictionary-speak. Definitions you could say out loud.

    AI writes examples around topics you actually care about.
