One word a day from another language that English never bothered to name. Japanese has a word for the dappled light that falls through leaves: komorebi. Portuguese has one for the ache of missing someone you may never see again: saudade. Danish has hygge, Tagalog has gigil, Inuktitut has iktsuarpok. English has… a whole sentence, and a shrug. Untranslatable brings you one of these words every morning — beautifully typeset, with everything you need to fall in love with it: • MEANING — what the word really captures, and why a whole culture needed to name it. • ORIGINS — where it comes from, root by root. • PRONUNCIATION — hear it spoken by a native speaker, in its own language. • A USAGE EXAMPLE — see it living in a real sentence. THERE'S A WORD FOR THAT Describe a feeling in your own words — "the ache of missing someone far away", "cozy and warm inside while it storms" — and Untranslatable finds the word that names it. It searches by meaning, not spelling. THE LIBRARY Browse every word by theme, mood, and language. Or tap Surprise me and let one find you. ADOPT THE ONES YOU LOVE Found a word you can't live without? Adopt it into your personal Lexicon and say it out loud any time. Gentle spaced review helps you keep the ones that matter. Your Passport quietly stamps every word you've met and every language you've visited, and a reading streak keeps you coming back. MADE FOR SAVOURING • A calm, literary design with a serif made for reading — in light or dark. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets showing today's word. Tap to open it. • Ask Siri for today's word. • A morning reminder, at a time you choose — one a day, never more. • Your week in words: a weekly look back, plus beautiful cards for the words worth passing on. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Untranslatable asks for nothing and keeps nothing. Your streak and your lexicon live only on your device. Some feelings only exist once someone gives them a name. Come collect them.

About

First Nations Voice

Features
Read full description

First Nations Voice is a continental atlas of nearly 1,500 Indigenous Nations and communities, with a source cited on every record, and a private learning space that never leaves your device. There are no accounts, no uploads and no network requests. What you learn, record and preserve stays on your iPhone or iPad, under your control, for as long as you want it there. Start with the Word of the Day: a phonetic respelling, plain meaning, and the language, Nation and dialect it comes from, with an optional local reminder if you want daily practice. Move into six-stage guided learning paths, with lessons, vocabulary and progress tracking that builds steadily instead of overwhelming you. Pronunciation practice lets you listen at normal or slow speed, record your own attempt, and compare the two honestly. The Atlas covers the United States, Canada, Alaska and Mexico, with clustering and typo-tolerant search by Nation, alternate name, language or region. Every entry states its entity type, region, source, last-checked date, and whether it is community-verified or general reference. Nothing is invented, and nothing is presented as more certain than it is. The Archive holds oral history, place names, seasonal knowledge and community listings, each with provenance and access terms clearly stated. Elder Legacy tools give families a private shelf for preservation, built around a recorded consent chain and the right to withdraw at any time. Export your own record as a typeset PDF, plain text or portable backup, and delete everything permanently whenever you choose. All of it works offline, and all of it is free to do. First Nations Voice is free to download with a limited preview. Full access requires a Learner or Preservation membership, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Membership is auto-renewing and is billed by Apple; cancel any time in your Apple Account subscription settings.
