An English-reading app, not a flashcard app.
Most English-vocabulary apps want to be flashcard apps. They start with a list of words and ask you to memorize them. Vocabay starts the other way around: pick an English article you actually want to read — news, an essay, a paper, a chapter — tap any word you don't know, and a side panel shows the meaning that fits THIS sentence — in your own language, written like a person would explain it, not like a dictionary.
One click saves the word. From then on, it travels with you. It joins the others in the Bay, sorted by topic into Reefs. Spaced repetition brings each English word back just before you'd forget — which is what actually moves a word from "saw it once" to "yours".
No streaks. No leaderboards. No notification that says you're falling behind. Built for adults who already like to read English — and want to read more of it.
Context, not the dictionary's first guess.
Smart reads the surrounding sentence to pick the right meaning. The word 'bank' is a riverside when you're reading about a fly-fisher, and a building when you're reading about interest rates.
The translation hovers above the word.
Saved words wear their meaning in a small cursive script above them. It's the same visual the brand uses everywhere — a margin note from your own past self.
Spaced repetition without the test feel.
Reviews show you the sentence with the English word blanked. Most people get it back on the third try. The four-button grade pace is built around FSRS — the same algorithm serious language learners trust.
