OurVocab is a vocabulary app built for two. Add cards together, study with proven spaced repetition, and watch each other's progress in real time. For couples bridging a language gap. For teachers tracking what their student is actually learning. For tutors and students who want shared, focused vocab — not generic word lists from someone else. Works for any language pair: Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, whatever you're studying together. FEATURES - Shared deck — every card you add appears in your partner's or student's deck instantly - Spaced repetition — modern SRS algorithm shows you cards right before you'd forget them - Stats and streaks — track correct answers, words added, daily streak, weekly progress - Private milestones — set rewards or goals together that only your pair sees - Voice cloning — record 30 seconds of audio and hear cards in that voice (powered by ElevenLabs, fully deletable) - Works offline — study anywhere, syncs when you're back online - No ads, no trackers, no selling your data PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your deck and progress are shared only between the two people in your household — never with anyone else. We don't read your vocab. We don't analyze your reviews. WHO THIS IS FOR - Couples learning each other's language - Tutors and their students working on focused vocab - Long-distance partners bridging a language gap - Anyone who wants vocab practice grounded in real, personal words
