Halm: Read & Learn

Read something you actually want to read — in German or
English — and let the words stick.

Halm turns short stories and adapted news into reading you can
handle at your level. Tap any word to see what it means right
here, in this sentence. Keep the ones worth keeping.

EPISODES
Multi-part stories set where you'd actually be: an apartment
viewing, a doctor's waiting room, a Sunday at the lake. Each
episode shares vocabulary across its parts, so words return on
their own instead of being drilled.

TAP ANY WORD
Translation runs on your device. Halm reads the whole sentence,
not the word alone.

KEEP WHAT MATTERS
You choose what enters review. Nothing is added behind your
back. Kept words return on an FSRS schedule, and Halm shows you
counts you can verify — never invented percentages.

GERMAN AND ENGLISH
Two full tracks. Pick one, or switch whenever you like.

NO STREAKS
Nothing to break, no leaderboard, no notification guilting you
back. Read when you want to read.

PRIVACY
No account, no sign-up, no third-party analytics or advertising.
Halm collects nothing automatically.

ACCESSIBILITY
VoiceOver throughout, Dynamic Type everywhere, Reduce Motion
honored, and color never used as the only signal.

Works offline. Requires iOS 26.
