Kindling for iPhone and iPad · Coming soon

Learn the English you actually care about.

Bring an article, webpage, transcript, or podcast. Kindling turns it into a focused reading experience with in-context definitions, phrases, and grammar notes.

Release status: Kindling is in preparation and is not yet available for public download on the App Store.

Start with curiosity

Paste English text, import a public webpage, or add podcast material. Kindling keeps the source and the learning context together, so the lesson begins with something you already wanted to understand.

Go from simple to deep

Tap a word or phrase while reading to see a concise definition, its role in that sentence, a short grammar note, and related expressions. Save words as Learning or Known and return to the sentence where you found them.

Local first, cloud by choice

Text paste, local dictionary lookup, and your vocabulary library work without a subscription. Web extraction, AI-assisted annotations, and podcast transcription use cloud services and have usage limits.

When a cloud feature is used, the text, link, sentence, or audio required for that request is sent to Ylemos infrastructure and relevant service providers. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
