Vocab Learner by Mo

There’s a new watchapp on the Rebble App Store!

@Mo says

A minimalist, highly effective vocabulary learning application built natively for the Pebble ecosystem, optimized for the Pebble Time 2 (Emery) and backwards-compatible with all models.

Features

• Ultra-Minimalist UI: Designed with a pure OLED-friendly black background. Distractions are removed so 55% of the screen is dedicated entirely to the definition, ensuring maximum readability without squinting.
• Spaced Repetition System (SRS): Employs a true Leitner memory engine. The app learns what words you struggle with and spaces them out dynamically (from 10 minutes up to 3 days), ensuring optimal active recall.
• Offline First: Entirely self-contained C implementation. The vocabulary database is baked natively into the .pbw binary, using virtually no heap memory and working perfectly without your phone.
• Background Wakeups: Utilizes the Pebble Wakeup API to silently trigger a notification to remind you to review words.
• Highly Configurable: Control notification frequency and toggle haptic vibrations directly from the Pebble companion app.

Go check it out in the App Store!

Release notes

Release Notes: v1.1.0

Welcome to the newest release of Vocab Learner for Pebble!

This update brings more control over your learning experience and significantly improves how background notifications work.

What’s New in v1.1.0

True Background Notifications (Timeline Pins)

• We have completely rewritten the background reminder system. The app now pushes Pebble Timeline Pins directly to your watch instead of using the local Wakeup API.
• You will now receive proper popup notifications reminding you to review your vocabulary. You can simply dismiss the notification to review it later, or select “Open App” to jump right into a review session!
• Note: You must enable “Timeline” permissions for this app when installing.

Difficulty Levels Configuration

• You can now filter which words you want to study directly from the Companion App Settings! Choose to study Basic, Intermediate, Advanced words, or any combination of the three.

Core Features

• Leitner Spaced Repetition System (SRS): The app uses a built-in persistent memory engine to track your progress. Long-press SELECT when you know a word to advance its bucket, and the app will automatically schedule it for review in 10 minutes, 4 hours, or up to 3 days later!
• Pure Minimalist Design: The UI has been stripped of all distracting elements. With a deep black GColorBlack background and massive 24px bold fonts, 55% of the screen is dedicated entirely to the definition.
• Offline First: The entire vocabulary database is baked natively into the lightweight C application. It requires absolutely zero internet connection or phone tethering to review your words.
