Join thousands of learners globally reconnecting with their roots through Yoruba, Igbo, and Edo — the Nigerian language learning app built for real culture and real fluency. Whether you want to learn Yoruba, learn Igbo, or learn Edo, Koyo helps you speak, understand, and belong, not just memorize vocabulary. Every lesson is built with native audio, real accents, and the cultural context textbooks leave out. Maybe you grew up hearing Edo in the kitchen but never learned to speak back. Maybe you're flying into Lagos next month and want to say more than "hello”. Whatever brought you here, you're not too late. Most apps teach you what a word means.

About

Modulo

Your whole academic year, laid out. Modulo organises your notes by teaching week instead of by folders, because that is how your course is actually taught. Open it and you are already in this week, with one note per module. READS YOUR TIMETABLE Subscribe to your university timetable in your phone's calendar and Modulo works out your modules and your term dates from it. No typing them in, no setting up folders. It knows 16 academic calendar systems across 13 countries and 95 named universities, and it handles the longer terms that medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses run on. SEND ANYTHING TO THE RIGHT NOTE Select text, a link, a photo or a Markdown file in any app, tap Share and choose Modulo. It lands at the end of the right module's note for the right week. Notes tidied up by ChatGPT or Claude keep their headings, bold text and to-dos. WRITTEN FOR COURSEWORK Headings, quotes and code. Bold, italic and four highlighter colours. Tables that turn into charts: bar, line, area, stacked bar, scatter, pie, histogram and box plot, with the axis titles taken from your own column headings. Study templates for Cornell notes, lectures, reading, essay plans, seminar prep, active recall and reflection, each with a question under every heading so you know what to actually write. TO-DOS THAT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE Mark something as a task, an assignment, a reading or revision, and it is treated accordingly. An assignment starts reminding you a fortnight out and gets more insistent as the hand-in nears. Revision counts down to the exam it belongs to. A small task waits until the day before. BUILT TO BE READ Seven fonts, including Atkinson Hyperlegible, which was designed so similar letters cannot be confused, and Lexend, which is shaped to be read quickly. Four text sizes and three line spacings. Set a font for everything, for one note, or for a few words. NOTHING IS LOST BY ACCIDENT Delete a table, an image, a note or a whole module and you can undo it straight away. Every note keeps its own history. REVISION THAT COMES BACK Optional reminders bring a note back one, two and four weeks after you wrote it, which is the spacing that actually moves things into long term memory. YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS No account. No sign in. No ads. No tracking. There is no server: your notes are on your phone and nowhere else, and your timetable is read on the device and stays there. Made for iPhone and iPad. Free.
