NerLan vs The Dojo

NerLan is a podcast player built for people learning a language by listening. Subscribe to any show by pasting an Apple Podcasts link or an RSS address, then play it with the controls a learner actually needs: variable speed from 0.5x to 2x, repeat one or repeat all, precise skip, and a lock screen and Control Center that move between episodes rather than nudging fifteen seconds at a time. Then study what you heard. TRANSCRIPTS THAT FOLLOW ALONG Generate a transcript of any episode and the sentence being spoken stays highlighted and centred as the audio plays. Tap a line to jump straight to it, or loop a single sentence until it sticks. TRANSLATION Render the transcript into your language, sentence by sentence, and read it alongside the original. Generated once and kept, so re-reading costs nothing. STUDY HANDOUTS Turn an episode into a review sheet - overview, grammar points, example sentences, and vocabulary - drawn from its own transcript. Examples stay in the language you are studying, glossed in the language you choose. SHADOWING PRACTICE Loop a sentence, record yourself reading it aloud, and play your version back against the original. LISTEN OFFLINE Download episodes for the commute, or let anything you stream to the end be kept automatically. Downloads are grouped by show and language, filterable, and available with no signal. WIDGETS Up Next, Latest Episode, My Shows, and a listening-streak widget for the Home and Lock Screen - all playable without opening the app. SIRI "Play [show] in NerLan", resume where you left off, change the speed, or ask how long you have listened this week. Give a show a nickname Siri can actually hear when its real title is in a script Siri does not speak. YOUR AI, YOUR CHOICE AI features are optional and run on credentials you provide - either an OpenAI API key billed to your own account, or your own OpenAI-compatible server, including one on your own machine. Your key is kept in the device keychain. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs. There is no NerLan server, so there is nowhere for your listening to be sent. Optional iCloud sync writes to your own account so your library survives a reinstall; audio is never synced. NerLan plays podcasts from their own public feeds. All audio content belongs to its publishers.

I built this app because I thought I was bad at math. I wasn't. I was just never taught properly. The Dojo takes you from actual zero — place value, the four operations — all the way to equations, geometry and beyond. One idea at a time, in plain words, with zero jargon: every technical word is explained the moment it appears, always. HOW IT WORKS • 10 minutes a day. That's the whole deal. Consistency beats talent — it's brain science, and the first lesson explains why. • Read one idea, then prove it. Every lesson teaches ONE thing, then a short quiz confirms you own it. Miss a question? Perfect: a mistake is the exact moment your brain learns. • Spaced repetition, done for you. The app knows when you're about to forget something and brings it back right before — you never cram. • A boss at the end of every module, to prove it stuck. From numbers to equations and geometry — and the curriculum keeps being written, at no extra cost. INSTRUMENTS YOU CAN TOUCH Math you can grab: a number line you drag, pizza slices you cut, an equation balance that really tips when you cheat, a living triangle that recomputes area, angles and Pythagoras under your finger. And a calculator that GROWS: it only learns a button once you've proven you can do the operation in your head. NO SHAME, EVER No red screams, no guilt trips, no "you lost your streak" drama. An "I'm lost" button that always gives you exactly one next step. A gentle plan when you come back after a break. This app was built by someone who had to start over as an adult — it treats you like the capable person you are. ALSO INSIDE • Physics without formulas: measure, compare, estimate the real world • Learn to code and learn to cook — free explorations that secretly train the same math muscles • Logic riddles, a Sunday enigma, mock exams, printable worksheets • Works 100 % offline. Your data never leaves your phone. No account, no tracking, nothing to sign up for. FREE & PREMIUM Chapter I of every subject is fully free, uncapped, forever. Past that nothing locks: you keep going, at the daily pace the Dojo recommends, ten minutes a day. The Pass lifts that ceiling, for anyone catching up — an exam, going back to school. Nothing is ever locked away — only the pace changes. You were never bad at math. Come see for yourself — your first win is 60 seconds away.
