After the lookup
The words you looked up come back to you.
Looking a word up once is not learning it. AALookup keeps the sentence you met it in, schedules the word with FSRS, and drills it four ways—so the second encounter is recall, not another lookup.
Open the word trainerLook up
A gesture or shortcut over any app returns the sense used in that sentence.
Collect
The word joins your list with the sentence and context it came from, never as a bare headword.
Review
FSRS decides when it is due; word books drill it by copying, spelling, listening, and recall.
Lookups on the desktop and reviews in the browser stay in step once you sign in.
Private by design
Local first. Online only when you choose it.
