No time for English?
It's in your feed.

We spend hours on Instagram and TikTok every day. MovaKey turns that time into learning: to open a social app, first translate a few words correctly (3 by default). It opens for as many minutes as you decided — then asks for words again.

The idea

Two habits — one strategy

No time to learn words

Learning words in a new language is hard, and there's never enough time for regular lessons.

Yet there's time for social media

We open Instagram or TikTok dozens of times a day — and often stay longer than we meant to.

Combine the two

Every time you open a social app, you learn a few words. You build your English and cut back your time in the feed.

Every day

3 words → 10 minutes of feed → words again

You decide how many words to translate and how much time that buys you. Spent 10 minutes and want more? A few more words.

  1. 1

    You open Instagram or TikTok

    Instead of the feed, a word with two answers.

  2. 2

    You translate 3 words

    Each right answer brings a new word and “✓ 2 of 3”. Got one wrong? You see the right translation and keep your progress.

  3. 3

    The feed opens for your time

    Say, 10 minutes. Choose 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60.

  4. 4

    Time's up — words again

    Want more — a few more words. Stopped — you saved the time.

Each word comes back through spaced repetition, so shield answers reinforce what you've learned.

How it works

From a new word to a learned one

  1. Step 1

    Add a word wherever you meet it

    Type it, pick a photo or screenshot, snap a book page, or paste some text. From Safari and other apps, just tap Share → MovaKey.

    • Type
    • Photo or screenshot
    • Camera
    • Text
    • Share sheet
    MovaKey's Add word menu: type, from photo or screenshot, camera, from text

  2. Step 2

    Tap words right on the image

    MovaKey reads the text in the photo. Tap the words you want to learn — the ones already in your dictionary are underlined in green.

  3. Step 3

    Translation and pronunciation, free

    Apple's translation runs on your device: no internet, no cost. The speaker button says the word out loud. The dots on the right show your progress.

  4. Step 4

    Reviews that make words stick

    Every right answer pushes a word further out: from 1 day to 2 months. After 8 right answers it's learned. A mistake moves it back two steps — not to the start.

    • 2Listen and pick
    • 3Pick the English word
    • 4Build from letters
    • 5Type in English
    • 6Dictation
    Pick the translation exercise: thorough — ретельний, answered correctly

  5. Step 5

    A word instead of mindless scrolling

    Choose the apps that distract you. When you open one, Screen Time shows a word with two answers. To open the app you translate several words correctly — 3 by default, and you can pick 1 to 10 for each app. A mistake doesn't reset your progress: you see the right answer and get the next word. After the last right answer the app opens for the time you chose (5–60 min), then locks again.

    With two buttons you could guess once; three words is real practice. Beginners can set 1–2, and if you want to learn more — up to 10 at a time.

    The blocking settings are behind Face ID, so you can't switch them off on impulse.

Don't give up — you're almost there.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account?

No. The dictionary, exercises, blocking and widget work without signing in. Signing in (with Apple only) is needed for Pro and AI features.

Where are my words stored?

On your device and in your private iCloud. The MovaKey server doesn't store or see them.

Can MovaKey see which apps I block?

No. Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time: the apps you choose are encrypted by the system and that data never leaves your device.

How many words do I need to translate to open an app?

3 right answers by default. You can choose 1 to 10 for each blocked app in the Block tab (“Правильних відповідей”).

What if I don't know the answer on the shield?

No problem: a mistake doesn't reset your progress. You'll see the right translation (“✗ dog — собака”) and get the next word. That's how the word sticks.

Is translation really free?

Yes. MovaKey uses Apple's built-in on-device translation. AI features are part of Pro (3 word analyses a day are free).

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later) and Mac (macOS 15 or later). App blocking works on iPhone and iPad.

How do I cancel the subscription?

iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends and you won't be charged again.
