Phrabbit - A/B Loop Player

Keep your A/B loops running with the screen off or in another app. Sleep timer, Lock Screen controls, and shadowing — listen, repeat, and make every sentence yours.

The surest way to make a sentence truly your own — listen, repeat, and say it out loud.

Phrabbit is an A/B loop practice app for language learners. Grab any passage from an audio file, podcast, or YouTube stream, loop it until it clicks, and now speak along to compare your own pronunciation.

◆ Shadowing · Listen to an A/B range, then repeat it in your own voice · Play your take over the original and compare the waveforms (audio files) · The passage's subtitles appear on the shadowing screen, highlighting each line as it plays (audio files) · Shadowing gap — automatically leaves time to speak between loops, with a countdown · Shadowing also works with YouTube streams and fullscreen video · My Recordings — save your best takes and pick practice back up on the same range

◆ A/B looping right on the waveform · Set precise ranges with your fingertip while watching the waveform · Loop as much as you want, adjust speed (0.5x–2.0x) · Save important ranges as bookmarks

◆ Comfortable anywhere, anytime · Background playback — loops keep running with the screen off or while you use other apps · Sleep timer — auto-pause after 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes · Bookmark queue — tap Play All to practice saved ranges back-to-back, and skip between them from the Lock Screen · Control playback right from the Lock Screen and Control Center

◆ Speech to text (STT) · Turn speech into sentence-by-sentence text, synced to the waveform in real time · See exactly which sentence is playing as you learn · On-device processing — your audio is never sent to an external server

◆ Many sources · Import audio files (mp3, m4a, and more) · Subscribe to podcasts and download episodes · Practice any YouTube link as a stream

◆ Tools that help you learn · Wordbook — save words you don't know and review them · AI word explanations (Beta) — tap a word in your wordbook and Apple Intelligence explains it on-device, in context · Stats — see your practice time and streak at a glance · Works on both iPhone and iPad
