Stop forgetting what you read, watch, and study. LearnBack turns everyday learning into long-term memory. Capture what you discover, recall it in your own words, and review it at the right time with active recall and spaced repetition. Whether you are preparing for exams, learning a new skill, reading books, watching educational videos, or collecting ideas, LearnBack helps you build knowledge that stays with you. REMEMBER BY RECALLING Learning is not only about consuming more information. LearnBack asks you to retrieve what you learned in your own words, helping you move from passive scrolling to active learning. CAPTURE BY TEXT OR VOICE Save a quick written recall or record your thoughts while reading, studying, commuting, or watching a video. Add a title and tag so every idea stays organized. BUILD PERSONAL FLASHCARDS Turn your own recalls into flashcards based on the ideas that matter to you. Your cards come from your learning—not a generic deck. REVIEW AT THE RIGHT TIME Use spaced repetition to revisit important ideas before they fade. Rate each review as Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and keep strengthening your memory over time. YOUR LEARNING TIMELINE Browse your recalls by date, replay voice notes, revisit written insights, and build a personal history of what you have learned. INSIGHTS THAT KEEP YOU MOVING Track your daily streak, recall activity, review progress, and learning categories. See small steps become a lasting habit. LEARN WITHOUT BURNING OUT Optional eye-care reminders support the 20-20-20 rule, while stretching reminders encourage you to move during long learning sessions. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No cloud storage. No external servers. Your learning stays on your device, and LearnBack does not collect your data. PERFECT FOR • Students and exam preparation • Books, articles, courses, and podcasts • Language and professional learning • Coding and technical concepts • Lifelong learners and curious minds • Anyone tired of forgetting useful ideas Learn less passively.

ON-DEVICE TUTOR NEEDS APPLE INTELLIGENCE. On an Apple Intelligence iPhone (15 Pro+, iOS 26) with Apple Intelligence on, conversation stays on your phone. On a phone that cannot run that model, enjoy 5 free AI conversation turns daily or activate Cloud Tutor. Written exercises and guides work on every iPhone. Practice a new language by talking — privately, on your own phone. Language Tutor is a language-learning tool you practice by chatting. A patient tutor role-plays a conversation partner in the language you're learning, replies at your level, and gently corrects your mistakes so each exchange becomes a small lesson. No teacher to book, no class to attend, no judgment. ON-DEVICE FIRST, PRIVATE BY DESIGN On an Apple Intelligence phone the tutor is Apple's own on-device model — nothing to download, no account. Turn on airplane mode and keep practicing to see for yourself. Saved phrases and settings always stay on your phone. LEARN BY DOING, NOT MEMORIZING • Voice input — tap the mic and practice speaking aloud; on-device speech recognition transcribes words privately. • Pronunciation speed & auto-speak — listen at a comfortable, slower pace designed for beginner learners, or have replies read automatically. • Spoken guided dialogue — tap any line in guided conversations to hear clear native pronunciation on any iPhone. • Conversation practice — chat through real scenarios: ordering food, the airport, small talk, directions, and more. • Gentle corrections — mistakes are corrected kindly, with a hint when you get stuck, so you actually improve. • Suggestions when stuck — tap starting lines, or ask “What should I say?” mid-chat for short reply ideas. • Instant meaning — tap a tutor message and what it means appears in your own language, right under the bubble. • Choose your level — beginner to advanced; the tutor adjusts how it speaks to you. • Pick your target language — separate from the app's menu language. • One tap to start — your language, level and scenario carry over from last time, so practice begins the moment you open the app. LEARN KOREAN — INCLUDING TOPIK Practice Hangul conversation by exam band (TOPIK 1–6). The tutor coaches particles and honorifics, and written drills follow the same bands. Travel Korean is here too — speaking practice, not flashcards. A REAL STUDY TOOLKIT • Phrasebook — save useful lines from any chat into a local phrasebook, grouped by scenario. • Scenario guides — offline guides for common situations, plus grammar and usage tips. • Review — come back to your saved phrases and practice them again. • Practice record — days practiced, conversations and saved phrases at a glance, with a shortcut to whatever is due for review. This record lives only on this phone. BUILT THE BARO WAY • Works offline — the on-device tutor practices anywhere, even with no signal. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics, ever. • Big text, high-contrast design, single-tap controls — easy at any age. • English, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Arabic, and Simplified Chinese interface. OPTIONAL CLOUD TUTOR — AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION Only for phones that can never run Apple Intelligence, and only after a single notice. Apple Intelligence phones stay on-device and do not need it. Written exercises stay available on every iPhone without it. No ads. Cloud Tutor — US$0.99 per month. Renews automatically until you cancel; manage or cancel in Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://lionandthelab.github.io/omit-talk/privacy.html HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Language Tutor is a practice and study tool for everyday conversation, not a certified course or a human teacher. Where the on-device tutor cannot run, the app says so — there is no silent stand-in. Part of the Baro family — The tools you reach for first.
