how it works

1. pick a language.
2. add the lock screen widget.
3. unlock your phone like you already do.
4. a new word, sentence, and meaning every time. your brain does the work in the background.

what's in it — ten languages, a thousand cards each — pinyin with tone marks for mandarin, hiragana + romaji for japanese, hangul + romanization for korean, cyrillic + romanization for russian — reading lessons that actually teach you the alphabet first — hangul, kana, cyrillic, pinyin tones — so you stop relying on romanizations — five practice games when you want to drill: word match, sentence builder, fill the blank, speed recall, reverse recall — real human-quality cultural notes: tone sandhi in mandarin, hoesik etiquette in korean, saudade in portuguese, jeitinho in brazilian culture, the 加油 / "add oil" cheer that has no english equivalent — calm, grown-up design. cream and deep purple. no cartoon owls, no shouting.

free vs plus free forever: stage 1 of any language, all five practice games, the lock screen widget. wordwake plus unlocks all 101 stages in all 10 languages: $2.99/mo, $19.99/yr, $49.99 lifetime. family sharing on. no ads. no account required.

who this is for adults who want to actually learn a language without making it a hobby that eats their evenings. people who learned the duolingo way and burned out. travelers, heritage learners, anyone who wants real fluency in real moments instead of fake fluency from a streak.

honest about what we're not we don't make you fluent in 3 weeks. we don't gamify your time. we don't sell your data. we're a one-person studio building this carefully.
