While you're reading

She had read the word a hundred times before, but only now, by the river at dawn, did it truly land:
the water was effervescent , and for a moment the whole current seemed to lift and breathe, each ripple catching the first pale light and breaking it into a thousand small bubbles of gold that rose, trembled, and were gone before she could name them. She read the sentence again, slower this time, mouthing the word to feel its shape, and something about the morning, the cold air, the moving water, the hush over everything, made it stay with her for good.

Saved, with the sentence. That's 1,204 words in your library.

AI reads the sentence, not just the word

The word and its sentence save themselves

A vocabulary list with the sentences, built while you read

Look a word up and it's saved with the line it came from: sorted, searchable, yours. A vocabulary you never sat down to build.

Review saved words in the sentence you met them

Leafy hides the word in the sentence you first met it in and asks you to fill the gap. Nothing to set up, nothing to write. Your own reading is the deck.
