Every word you search
becomes a memory.
Metis turns the words you look up into permanent vocabulary — resurfaced at the right moment, in whichever language you’re learning. No streaks to protect, nothing to perform.
saudade
a longing for something absent
A deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for a person, place, or thing that is far away or that has ended.
“Ele sentia saudade da infância que ficou para trás.”
Due today
mimoso
gentle, tender
Used for someone unusually soft-natured.
One habit, any language
Some words simply don’t translate.
Metis keeps every one of them — whichever language you’re building.
The loop
How it works
Search
Type a word in either language — your own or the one you're learning. Metis detects which is which, so you never have to think about direction.
saudade
a longing for something absent
Save
A memory card is generated in seconds: the translation, a clear meaning, and an example sentence in both languages.
Review
Cards resurface on a simple ladder — 1, 2, 4, then 7 days — mixed across flashcard, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank styles so review never feels rote.
Learned
Recalled after a full week away
Learn
Recall a word after a full week away, and it graduates from Learning to Learned — permanently, not just for now.
Field notes
Built to be believed
Bidirectional by design
Type in either language and Metis figures out which is which — the card always anchors to the one you're actually learning.
A ladder, not a treadmill
Intervals stretch out every time you get a word right, and simply repeat — never punish — when you don't.
On your Home and Lock Screen
Due words surface where you'll actually see them, without opening the app.
Calm, not gamified
No streak guilt, no confetti, no leaderboard. Just an editorial, unhurried place to keep words you cared enough to look up.
We didn’t want another app competing for your attention. We wanted the quietest possible way to remember a word.
