## What is Own Words?

Own Words is a study app built around one rule: you write your answer before you see the prepared one. The card does not open until you have typed something, and there is an "I don't know" button that opens it with nothing typed, so you are never stuck on a card.

Made for people with ADHD and for anyone whose focus wanders: five cards a session, one card on screen at a time, and an answer you type before you can peek. Own Words is a study tool, not a medical or treatment app.

After the reveal you see your answer beside the prepared one, broken into its separate points, and you say for each point whether you actually said it. That is the grading, and it is yours; the app never marks a point for you. A card counts as learned after correct recalls on three different days, not three times in one sitting.

SEVEN THEMES, ALL FREE

Arcade, Constellation, Riso, Comic, Pixel, Book and Clear. Each theme has its own colors, type and details: a night sky full of stars, pinball lanes beside the card, or a "POW" when you said every point. Switch any time in Settings.

WHERE DECKS COME FROM

Paste a deck link, open one someone sent you, or pick a deck file.

You can also use Generate to make decks from a topic or pasted text. Generate is one of four paid features.

A SESSION IS FIVE CARDS

Five cards, chosen by the schedule, with the end of the session visible from the first card. At the end you see four numbers: points you said, points you missed, cards where you said every point, and cards with a miss. Those numbers are what you did and nothing below them changes them.

WHAT COSTS MONEY

Studying, importing, exporting and the reminder are free and work offline. Four features are paid: Explain explains text you mark on a card, Simpler puts text you mark into simpler words, Ask answers questions about a card, and Generate makes decks from a topic or pasted text. The first three generated decks are free. After that it is 4.99 USD a month or 29.99 USD a year, through one subscription, which starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. With it you can make up to 10 new decks a day.

If any of those four fails because you have no connection, the app says so and does not offer you a subscription. Being offline is not a reason to be charged.

PRIVACY

Your answers are stored on your phone. Explain, Simpler and Ask send the card and what you typed; Generate sends the topic or pasted text. These actions send text to Claude by Anthropic through Helio's server, only after you give consent and press the action. The text is not stored on our side beyond the thread you can delete, and nothing you write is used to train anything. There are no ads.

ON IPHONE DUO

Open it like a book: the question on one page, your answer on the other. Half-fold it like a laptop to type on the lower half. Once you have written, open it a little wider to peek at the answer.

CAVEATS, SO YOU KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY

- Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian and Japanese.
- The four paid features send text to a model and need a connection. A model can be wrong. You mark your own answer; none of these features grades it automatically.
- There is no sync. Decks and progress live on the device you studied on.
- The schedule is the app's; the marks are yours. The schedule never erases a mark.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-23

Your own topic now builds in any language: type it in Russian, Japanese or anything else and the deck comes back in that language. Theme previews swipe smoothly, example cards are clearly marked, error messages name the real cause, and a brief server hiccup is retried for you.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-22

A new start: pick a ready deck (The solar system, Ancient Egypt or How sleep works) or type your own topic, then choose your theme by swiping a real card.

A calmer study card, with less on screen while you answer.

While a new deck is being written, the screen shows what is happening and how long it has taken.

Simpler remembers: when you make a card simpler, you see the simpler version the next time that card comes round.

Own Words Pro now starts with a 7-day free trial, and if notifications are on, we remind you before it ends.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-21

Fixed: Settings no longer closes the app.

A new app icon.

Made for iPhone Duo: open it like a book and the question stays on one page while you write on the other. Half-fold it like a laptop to write on the lower half. Once you have written your answer, open it a little wider to peek.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-19

No release notes.
