Frequently asked questions
What is Babelcraft?
Babelcraft is a native iPhone flashcard app for learning Spanish, French, Korean, or Japanese — Anki-style spaced repetition powered by the modern FSRS-5 algorithm, with curated starter decks, native audio, and progress tracking.
When is it coming out?
Babelcraft is in final testing ahead of its App Store debut. There's no fixed date yet — check back here, or follow along for the announcement.
Does it require an account?
No. There's nothing to sign up for. Open the app, pick a language, and start studying.
What is FSRS-5?
FSRS-5 is the modern spaced-repetition scheduler behind current Anki. Instead of a fixed interval schedule, it models how well you actually remember each card and times your next review accordingly — graded Again, Hard, Good, or Easy after each card.
Which languages does it support?
Spanish (Mexico), French, Korean, and Japanese, each with its own starter deck and native voice. Switch courses any time from Settings.
Can I add my own cards?
Yes. Full authoring and editing is built in, with a searchable browse view grouped into collapsible categories.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Your deck lives on your device first and studying works fully offline — it syncs automatically once you're back online, if iCloud is enabled.
Do my cards and progress sync across devices?
Yes, through your own iCloud account — your flashcards and review history stay in sync on every device you're signed into. This requires being signed into iCloud; the app falls back to a local-only store otherwise.
What is Full Immersion mode?
A toggle in Settings, available for the Spanish course, that flips the app's own interface into Spanish once the basics stick — a way to push yourself a little further without a separate app.
Is my data private?
Yes. Babelcraft has no server, no account, and no analytics or advertising SDKs. Your flashcards and review history stay on your device and sync only through your own iCloud account. See the Privacy Policy for the full details.
What does it require?
An iPhone running iOS 18 or later.
