Croissante

Read full description

Croissante is an iPhone app for learning French vocabulary through daily review, spaced repetition, natural pronunciation, examples, search, and progress tracking. Whether you are starting at A1 or building toward B2, C1, or C2, Croissante helps make French vocabulary feel clearer, calmer, and easier to keep up with every day. Open Croissante each day to review a focused set of French word cards. Each card brings together the word, part of speech, meaning, example sentence, and multilingual support, so you can understand not only what a word means, but how it is actually used. At the heart of Croissante is a spaced repetition system. You do not need to manage your own review schedule or remember which words to revisit. Croissante tracks your learning state and brings words back at the right time, helping familiar words fade into long-term memory while giving more attention to words you find blurry or difficult. Main features: โ€ข French vocabulary from A1 to C2: Study words across CEFR levels, whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner. โ€ข Spaced repetition review: Build long-term memory with a review flow based on how well you remember each word. โ€ข Editable word cards: Customize cards freely so the vocabulary you study can match your own notes, understanding, and learning style. โ€ข Daily learning goal: Keep a steady rhythm with a manageable daily set of word cards. โ€ข Natural French pronunciation: Hear words spoken clearly so you can connect spelling, meaning, and sound. โ€ข Multilingual support: Use English, Chinese, and Hindi support to understand words more comfortably. โ€ข Progress tracking: See your learning history, review state, and daily progress over time. โ€ข Home Screen widget: Keep a French word close by with a daily vocabulary widget. โ€ข Spotlight integration: Search for Croissante vocabulary directly from iOS Spotlight. Croissante is more than a word list. It is a quiet, visual space for building French vocabulary one day at a time. Learn a little every day. Review at the right moment. Let unfamiliar words become familiar. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Which period are you in? Which room is next? NextClass ties your bell schedule, semester and weekly timetable together, and answers both the moment you open it. Two subjects, two school levels, meetings and duties on top โ€” they all fit on one timetable, and it keeps up when the school changes. TODAY VIEW Real-time status for every period: done, in progress, or upcoming. The timeline follows your bell schedule automatically. Jot down a quick note after each class to track your teaching progress. Tap Tomorrow to see the next teaching day โ€” on a Friday evening it shows Monday. WEEK VIEW See your whole week on one screen โ€” double periods, meetings and duties included โ€” and edit it in place. A monthly calendar shows lesson distribution at a glance; tap any date to jump there. FULL WEEK SCHEDULE Pick a subject, class and room, then tap cells to fill in a week that repeats automatically. Press and drag down on an empty cell for a double period. Placed one by mistake? Switch to Clear to remove it, with Undo. Or use the Excel template: the app generates it from your bell schedule, you pick classes from drop-down lists, and the import matches every period. SUBJECTS AND SCHOOL LEVELS Teach one class two subjects and still tell them apart โ€” choose the subject when placing a lesson. Teaching both middle and high school? Add up to three school levels, each with its own bell schedule. Each class remembers its room, so the location fills in for you. MEETINGS AND DUTIES Put meetings, duty and supervision on the timetable. Set them by period: when the bell schedule changes, their times follow. They can remind you when they start. FLEXIBLE WEEKS Every week, odd or even weeks, or every few weeks โ€” from any week to any week. Designate rest days for odd and even weeks separately within a semester. BELL SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT Multiple bell schedules take effect by date, and any weekday can have its own. Schedules are grouped by date range, so when your school changes times, the usual and weekday schedules switch together. Create one by hand or pre-fill it from a Word document, reviewing each row before applying. FLEXIBLE ADJUSTMENTS Cancel a class, change the room, or reschedule a one-off โ€” single-day changes never affect your weekly template. CLASS REMINDERS Automatic local notifications before each class. Canceled classes are silently removed from the notification queue. Tap a notification to jump straight to the lesson. PRIVACY All your data stays on your device. No uploads, no cloud sync, no account required. Create up to 5 local backups, or export a snapshot to the Files app for safekeeping. WIDGETS Large widgets show your whole week, and the circular Lock Screen widget shows the countdown. PUBLIC HOLIDAYS Built-in holiday data for mainland China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. When a holiday falls on a school day, the app lists affected classes for your confirmation before canceling anything.
