Interact is an educational app for turning the things you want to learn into interactive lessons. Bring all your favorite notes, links, and videos; and turn those into interactives. It's quick and easy to play through flashcards, quizzes, and other types of lessons. The spaced repetition system is built-in so you actually remember what you learn. The idea is to take the things you're already reading, watching, and studying and turn them into something you'll still know months from now. • Create lessons from notes, links, videos, PDFs, photos, and audio • Study with flashcards, fill-in-the-blank, quizzes, typed answers, and image occlusions • Review on a spaced repetition schedule that adapts as you learn • Track your progress across subjects • Continue on the web and your account stays in sync • Share subjects with friends Spaced repetition has been around a long time, but it usually means building all your flashcards by hand. Interact does that part for you, so you can spend your time learning instead of making cards. It's useful whether you're studying for something specific, picking up a new skill, or just trying to hold on to what you read. Interact is free for creating and playing interactives, with a monthly limit on AI-generated lessons. Interact Premium unlocks more capacity and features, available as a monthly or yearly subscription.

Scenio turns the real world into your language classroom. Every scene is a chance to learn. Point your camera at what's around you — a coffee shop, a kitchen, a street corner — and Scenio recognizes the scene, shows you the words for what you see, and teaches you what native speakers would actually say there. Snap a single object to learn its name, or capture a whole scene to unlock multiple words, a bilingual description, and real-life expressions — what you'd say, and what you might hear. Tap any word for pronunciation, examples, and phrases, then save it as a sticker made from your own photo. HOW IT WORKS • Capture — Photograph an object or a whole scene • Understand — See the words and what this place is about • Say — Learn what you'd say and what you might hear, the way native speakers say it • Remember — Save it all to your visual word book and scene album WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Learn from real life, not abstract word lists — every scene is a lesson • Scene mode: multiple words, a bilingual description, and native expressions from one photo • Object mode: instantly learn the name of anything in front of you • 24 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and more • Natural pronunciation with adjustable speed and multiple voices • Atlas: collect real places, learn what to do and say there, and rehearse with AI role-play • Gorgeous, hand-crafted cards and stickers made from your own photos • Calm, low-pressure design — for kids and adults alike DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE Big, tappable areas and clear pronunciation make it friendly for children. A calm, editorial design keeps it grown-up enough for adults. The same app grows with the whole family. PRIVACY FIRST Your word book lives on your device and syncs through your private iCloud. No account, no sign-up, no tracking across apps. SCENIO PREMIUM Free includes a daily allowance of scans. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited recognition, scene expressions, and AI conversations — monthly or yearly. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
