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.

AI reads the sentence, not just the word

It saves itself into a library you own

A vocabulary list that builds itself while you read

Look a word up while you read and it's already saved: sorted, searchable, yours. Come back to 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.

Languages, export options, and privacy

Works over PDFs, ebooks, images, anything on your screen, and the PopClip bar.
