## What is VocabUnlock?

Stop losing time to scrolling. Turn the impulse into vocabulary practice.

VocabUnlock helps you replace mindless screen time with short language-learning sessions.

Choose the apps that distract you. When you try to open one, optional Focus Lock pauses access and starts a quick vocabulary session. Practice a few words, complete the session, and continue with your day.

Instead of finding extra time to study, turn moments that already happen throughout your day into vocabulary practice.

TURN SCROLLING INTO LEARNING

• Choose distracting apps to pause
• Complete a short vocabulary session to unlock them
• Turn repeated phone checks into repeated learning
• Track interrupted impulses, practice time, unlocks, and vocabulary progress
• Set your own blocking rules and unlock duration
• Use Focus Lock only when you want it

BUILD VOCABULARY THAT STICKS

VocabUnlock uses spaced repetition to bring words back before you forget them.

Practice with pictures, flashcards, typing, speaking, pronunciation audio, example sentences, and targeted review of weak words.

Difficult words return more often. Words you know well appear less frequently.

CREATE THE VOCABULARY YOU ACTUALLY NEED

Build vocabulary from:

• your own words
• AI-generated vocabulary
• topics and word groups
• text from your camera or photo library
• selected text and sentence context
• CEFR levels from A1 to C2

Cards can include translations, pronunciation, example sentences, collocations, grammar notes, illustrations, and audio.

LEARN ACROSS 21 LANGUAGES

Learn vocabulary in English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Greek, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Hindi.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

• No forced account
• No ads
• Vocabulary and progress stay on your device
• Blocked-app selections stay on your device
• Optional iCloud backup

Focus Lock uses Apple Screen Time permissions and is completely optional.

Practice words. Unlock your apps. Keep moving.
