About

Dailywiki

Features
Read full description

Learn something new every day, in just a few minutes. Dailywiki picks a handful of random Wikipedia articles for you: history, science, places, people, things you would never have searched for. Browse them over breakfast, on the train or before bed, or press play and listen. READ OR LISTEN Every article can be read aloud with your phone's voices. Pick a voice for each language, set the speed and follow along as the sentence and word being read are highlighted. Listening keeps going with the screen off or while you use other apps: learn while you walk or cook. A DAILY HABIT Choose how many articles you want per session. When the session ends, you decide whether to stop or keep going. Turn on a reminder, if you like, at the time that suits you. KEEP WHAT YOU LIKE Save the articles that surprise you and find them whenever you want, grouped by language. Listen to them again or open the full article on Wikipedia. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Choose the article language from any of Wikipedia's languages, even one different from the app's. β€” Article content comes from Wikipedia and is available under the CC BY-SA license. Dailywiki is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation.
