Tango vs Nudge

Hi, I'm AJ. After 13 years making video games, I got laid off and started learning Japanese to make myself more hireable. I couldn't find a flashcard app that wasn't a subscription trap, so I built the one I wished existed. Tango is just me, one indie developer, and every feature exists because I needed it myself. Tango turns your daily screen time into Japanese vocabulary. Instead of scrolling through nothing, swipe through words. Know it — swipe right. Don't — it comes back until you do. No lessons. No grammar drills. No guilt about missing a day. No setup — open it and go. Just words, a swipe, and a system that quietly makes sure the hard ones keep coming back. Learn hiragana, katakana, and essential JLPT N5/N4 vocabulary through quick swipe-based sessions TAP TO REVEAL. SWIPE TO LEARN. Each card shows a Japanese word in kana. Tap to flip and reveal the romaji, English meaning, and part of speech. Swipe right if you know it, left if you don't. Words you miss return automatically — sooner if you keep missing them, less often as they start to stick. FREE TO START 100+ words across JLPT N5 beginner vocabulary Hiragana and katakana, filter by length, nouns, verbs, adjectives or expressions Characters & Particles practice Daily streak tracking Audio pronunciation for every word UNLOCK EVERYTHING — one-time purchase 626 additional words through JLPT N4 Review Mode — drill the words you keep missing All future word packs included One payment. No subscription. Ever. Support for a solo dev Tango works in the gaps — waiting for coffee, commuting, winding down before bed. A few minutes of Japanese practice a day adds up faster than you think.

Nudge is a homework planner and assignment reminder app for students. Connect Canvas, Schoology, Blackboard, Brightspace (D2L), Moodle, Sakai, ManageBac, Veracross or Blackbaud once, and every due date lands in one list, with a nudge before each deadline. Meet Pip, a small bird who lives on your windowsill. When something's due, his crest perks up and he nudges you, early enough to actually do it. WORKS WITH YOUR SCHOOL'S LMS - Canvas - Schoology - Blackboard - Brightspace (D2L) - Moodle - Sakai - ManageBac - Veracross - Blackbaud (myschoolapp) - Any other school calendar link (.ics) HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your school's platform. Nudge shows you exactly where its calendar link is. 2. Paste the link once. Every dated assignment, quiz and exam shows up, sorted by due date. 3. Pip nudges you before each deadline. If a teacher moves a due date, he tells you what changed. Nudge never asks for your school password. It reads the same private calendar link your school gives you for Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. TYPE IT LIKE A TEXT "stats quiz friday 10am" is a complete entry. Nudge reads the date and time straight out of what you type. No date pickers, no forms. ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S NEXT Home opens on a live countdown to whatever's due first. It turns rose when it's close. NUDGED, NOT NAGGED Nudges only come for real deadlines, things due together share one nudge, and nothing lands overnight. Pip moves those to the evening before. LATE STILL COUNTS No streaks, no grades, no guilt. If something slips, Pip helps you send it anyway, and Mark all done clears an old backlog in one tap. MEET PIP He cheers when you finish something, naps when nothing's due, and gets dizzy if you boop him too much. His windowsill follows the seasons. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Nudge works fully without signing in, and your assignments stay on your phone. Sign in only if you want your school link kept for a new phone. NUDGE EARLY BIRD (OPTIONAL) Everything above is free forever. Early Bird is for getting ahead: - A morning brief at wake-up: what's due today, and what to start - Plan it out: big essays, projects and exams split into small sessions, re-planned if one slips - Nudges two days early, plus a head start on big work - A live Lock Screen countdown for the last two hours before a deadline - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Snooze in your own words, like "remind me after practice" Early Bird is an auto-renewing subscription with a 1-month free trial on the yearly plan, or monthly. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage it in your Apple Account settings.
