Speak. Spell. Win. That's Zoundslike. Zoundslike is the language learning app that solves the problem every other app ignores. Many English learners reach an intermediate level and then hit a wall. The accent. The mispronunciations. The words you spell wrong every time. That last stage of mastery is the hardest part, and it's exactly what Zoundslike was built to fix. Built around one simple formula: Gamification plus peer-to-peer interaction equals meaningful learning. Real people practicing together, one word at a time. The Problem Most Language Learning Apps Ignore Most language learning apps offer either content without social interaction, or social interaction without content. Zoundslike offers the right content in the right social environment, helping learners close the gap on accent reduction, mispronunciation, and misspelling. How It Works Each game has two players: a Speaker and a Speller. The Speaker pronounces words from a digital deck only they can see. The Speller listens and spells. Both must work together to score. After each round, players see scores, definitions, example sentences, and pronunciation guides. You don't just play, you actually learn.

About

Strideline

Features
Read full description

A study schedule app that shows, at a glance, what you did today and how long it took. Strideline: Study Pacer is built for 4th–6th grade students preparing for entrance exams, and for the families supporting them. The loop is simple: plan in the morning, tap to start the timer, tap to stop. The app quietly records the rest. ——————————— THREE DESIGN PRINCIPLES ——————————— ▸ Show what was actually done No flashy auto-scheduler. You line up the day's blocks in the morning, and the app preserves exactly when each one started and ended. A central progress ring plus a vertical timeline shows today's reality in a single glance. ▸ No-type UX Starting a timer, stopping it, swapping blocks, inserting a break — almost everything is a tap or a gesture. Typing is required only when you first register a textbook; after that, "recently used materials" gives you a one-tap add. ▸ Beauty as fuel for daily practice A glass-modern iOS-26-era UI. A subtle pulsing glow on the block that's running. The honest satisfaction of a check mark when it's done. Themes from snow white to true midnight. The grind of exam prep gets one small, quiet joy added to it. ——————————— KEY FEATURES ——————————— • Time blocking: planned blocks bound to recorded actual times • Timer: tap ▶ to start, ■ to stop. Live Activity keeps running when the app is closed • Progress ring: today's completion rate and total time at center • Vertical timeline: the whole day in one scroll • Material library: one tap to add a recently used textbook to today • Countdowns: days until mocks, exams, results — on home screen and widget • Statistics: subject-stacked bar charts, donut, daily trend, weekday averages • Calendar: 13 months vertically scrollable, heatmap, monthly summary • Weather overlay: weekly view with current location or Tokyo forecast • Multiple profiles: switch between siblings (2nd+ profile requires Pro) • Home Screen widgets: today's plan and countdown • Lock Screen Live Activity: running timer • Start chime / overrun prompt • iCloud sync (planned) ——————————— WHO IT'S FOR ——————————— • 4th–6th graders attending cram school in Japan • Long-haul scheduling for summer and winter intensives • Households with two or more kids sharing one iPhone or iPad • Anyone tracking the runway to a single high-stakes exam date ——————————— FREE AND PRO ——————————— • Free: 1 profile, all core features, 3 themes, up to 3 countdowns • Pro: a one-time purchase. Up to 5 profiles, all 28 themes, unlimited countdowns, advanced statistics, 3D carousel view, PDF export • No subscriptions, ever. ——————————— PRIVACY ——————————— • Zero tracking SDKs. Zero ad SDKs. • Your child's study data is stored on-device only. • Location is requested once for weather and is optional (Tokyo as fallback). ——————————— Exam prep is a long, quiet journey for kids and parents alike. Strideline is the careful diary that walks alongside it. Questions or feedback: taro.hamuro@gmail.com.
