Learn German from the news, one word at a time.
Every morning Lexo turns today's news into five short texts at your level. Tap any word, or select a whole phrase, and see what it means in that sentence. Everything you look up comes back in practice.
Ten minutes a day, built around real news.
Short texts you can finish on the train, rewritten for your level from A1 to C2.
Read
Five short paragraphs from today's German news. Listen to any of them with natural audio.
Tap to understand
A word or a whole phrase, explained in the sentence you're reading, grammar included.

Remember
Every lookup becomes a card. Spaced repetition brings it back just before you'd forget it.
Practice that knows when to ask again.
Lexo uses a five-box system. Get a card right and it moves up a box and waits longer: 1, 2, 4, 8, then 16 days. Miss it and it starts again tomorrow.
Small app. Careful details.
Found in context
Every saved word remembers the sentence and article where you met it.
Works offline
Today's reading, your cards and saved words work in the U-Bahn too.
One gentle reminder
A daily nudge at a time you pick, skipped on days you're already done.
Light and dark
Calm type made for reading, day or night. Try the switch at the top.
Your data stays yours.

Questions
When can I try it?
A public beta for iPhone opens soon through Apple's TestFlight. The beta is free.
Which languages can I learn?
German, with explanations in English. French and more learning languages are planned.
What level do I need?
Any. Pick A1 to C2 when you start. Texts and explanations adapt, and you can change it anytime.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Today's texts, your cards and every word you've saved are stored on your iPhone. New lookups need a connection.
I already use the Wortbox bot on Telegram.
It keeps working. Linking your Telegram account to the app is on the way.
