Sorrel vs Semaphore

Sorrel is a language practice diary for people who study in the real world. You already practice outside of apps — podcasts, books, tutor lessons, conversations, writing, grammar, videos. Sorrel is where you record what you did, keep a useful journal, and see your progress in the language. No games, no streak pressure, no daily nagging. Just log your practice and watch yourself get closer to your goal with every session. LOG PRACTICE IN SECONDS • Start a session with a built-in timer, or log time manually • Tag the skill: listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary — or add your own SEE YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE • A weekly skill-by-day grid shows your balance across skills • Insights add up your hours, active days, and trends • Set a language goal and see how close you are SEND YOUR TEACHER A PDF REPORT • Turn your practice into a clean, teacher-ready PDF in a tap • Perfect for tutor and online lessons — show exactly what you did between sessions • Share your progress with anyone, your way YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Local-first: your study history lives on your device • Turn on iCloud sync if you want it — your data stays yours and never leaves your iCloud Record real practice.
