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 the ultra-affordable Cloud Tutor (US$0.99 per month for 600 AI replies/month). Guided voice dialogues, microphone speaking practice, and written exercises work free on every iPhone. Practice a new language by talking — privately, on your own phone. Language Tutor is a practice tool you use by chatting. A patient tutor role-plays a conversation partner in your target language, replies at your level, and gently corrects mistakes. ON-DEVICE FIRST, PRIVATE BY DESIGN On an Apple Intelligence phone the tutor is Apple's on-device model — no account needed, even in airplane mode. 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 & interactive guided dialogue — tap any line to hear clear native pronunciation or speak into the mic on-device to answer interactively on any iPhone. • Studio ambient music & home widget — practice in a calm studio atmosphere with optional ambient soundscape and a quick-launch Home Screen widget. • 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 & practice record — review saved phrases and track days practiced locally on your 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. • English, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Arabic, and Simplified Chinese interface. OPTIONAL CLOUD TUTOR — AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION For phones without Apple Intelligence (or learners who want fast cloud AI replies), Cloud Tutor provides a generous allowance of 600 AI replies per month (~20 per day). Guided dialogues, on-device microphone practice, and written exercises stay free on every iPhone without a subscription. No ads. Cloud Tutor — US$0.99 per month (600 AI replies 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.

PingPro keeps your school day in view without digging through a PDF timetable between classes. Now and Next, at a glance Open PingPro to see your current class and what's coming up next — subject, teacher, room, and how much time is left — the moment you need it. A heads-up before every bell PingPro notifies you a few minutes before each class ends, so you're never caught packing up late. Choose your own lead time, from 1 to 30 minutes. Built for how real school schedules actually work Handles two-week rotating timetables (Week 1 / Week 2) automatically — or switch to single-week mode if your school doesn't rotate. Automatically shows the next school day's schedule after hours or on weekends, and understands breaks as real parts of the day, not just gaps. Import your timetable in seconds Scan a screenshot or PDF of your school portal timetable — PingPro reads it on your device and builds your schedule for you, with a chance to check it first. You can also import a CSV and export it back out any time. Right on your Home Screen Add the PingPro widget to your Home Screen for an always-visible look at what's now and what's next, with a live countdown, no need to even open the app. Light and Dark Follow your device's appearance, or choose Light or Dark inside the app. Also on your Mac The same Now/Next view lives quietly in your Mac's menu bar, so your schedule follows you between devices. Private by design Your timetable never leaves your device. Every notification is scheduled locally — there's no account, no server, no internet connection required. Requirements: iOS 17 or later.
