What Miji does

SEARCH WORDS EASILY

A real dictionary, built in and offline: 78,000 English words with pronunciations, examples and synonyms, and 650,000+ more in a free download. Type it or paste it. With Pro, share it to Miji from any app.

REMEMBER WORDS FOREVER

Ever feel overwhelmed at the idea of making flashcards for every word you look up in the dictionary? Absurdly time-consuming. Now? It's one tap. The cards make themselves... and tell you when it's time to study.

PRACTICE WITHOUT OPENING THE APP

Your words come to you. The notification is the flashcard: tap Knew or Forgot and you're done, right from your lock screen. Miji uses your answers to choose when each word comes back, using the same spaced-repetition science behind Anki (FSRS). Forgetting is part of learning: a word you miss simply comes back sooner. Notification delivery depends on your iPhone's permissions and settings.

RANK UP YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Every word has a study-rank. Every answer (knew it or forgot it) gives you XP, because your goal is to practice, not be perfect the first time. Earn XP, and bask in the accomplishment you'll feel when every word-sprout grows into an evergreen-staple of your vocabulary!

ROOM TO KEEP LEARNING

The free version starts with room for 10 words, counted once across all saved meanings. Dictionary search, pronunciation, practice, notifications, deck organization and export stay free. Pro adds saving from any app through the Share Sheet, unlimited saved words and unlimited decks. Existing words remain available to study and export after Pro ends.

Where purchases are available, monthly Pro automatically renews at the price shown by Apple; eligible subscribers may receive a 7-day free trial. Lifetime is a one-time purchase including all future Pro features. Where rewarded ads are available, watch an ad for 10 permanent Flashcards, up to 5 times per rolling 24 hours, with no sign-in needed. These services need a connection; learning does not need an account.

Questions people ask

What is Miji?

A dictionary for iPhone that turns the words you look up into flashcards, then brings them back in notifications until you know them. Search once, remember forever.

How is Miji different from Anki or Quizlet?

You never make a card. Anki and Quizlet are card managers: you build decks, then study them. In Miji the dictionary is the front door — look a word up, tap Remember, done. The scheduling is the same science Anki uses (FSRS); the work of making and organizing cards is gone.

Does Miji make flashcards automatically?

Yes. Tap Remember on any word and Miji creates two cards on its own: one that asks what the word means, and one that asks for the word from its meaning. Nothing to type.

Can I answer a flashcard from the notification without opening the app?

Yes. The notification is the flashcard. It shows the word, and you tap Knew or Forgot right there on the lock screen. Press and hold to see the whole card first.

Does Miji need an account or an internet connection?

Dictionary search and practice work offline, without a Miji account. Purchases use Apple and need a connection for buying or restoring. Daily Flashcards and rewarded ads use an online reward service. Vocabulary and individual practice answers are not sent there. If you opt in, usage reports can include bucketed activity counts, without the words or answers. Automatic private iCloud backup can preserve your saved words, decks, learning progress and permanent Flashcards with Apple. View its status and controls in Settings → Your library. Your own device backups may also include app data. See the Privacy Policy.

What spaced-repetition algorithm does Miji use?

FSRS-6, the open-source algorithm behind modern Anki. It estimates how well you remember each word and uses your answers to schedule the next practice.

What happens when I forget a word?

It becomes due again within 30 minutes, and you get the same credit as if you had known it. Forgetting is part of learning; Miji never punishes it.

Is Miji only for English?

For now, yes: 78,000 English words from Wiktionary and Open English WordNet, with 650,000+ more in a free download. Private iCloud backup preserves your library and progress when enabled and completed. Other languages and Siri are not in yet.

Which iPhones does Miji run on?

Any iPhone on iOS 26 or later.

What does Miji cost?

Miji is free to download and starts with room for 10 words. Pro adds unlimited saved words, unlimited decks and saving from any app through a monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Organizing decks and practicing one deck stay free. The app shows the actual local price and available offers before you buy.

How are Flashcards counted?

Each word counts once across its saved meanings and decks. Dictionary searches are unlimited. Reaching your saving limit never stops you studying or exporting the words you already have. Existing decks remain usable after Pro ends.

Can I earn more room without Pro?

Where rewarded ads are available, you can choose to watch an ad for 10 permanent Flashcards, up to 5 times per rolling 24 hours. Ads are optional and never interrupt a review. No Miji signup is needed. Ad availability and consent may affect whether an offer can be shown. Vocabulary is never sent to Miji’s reward service or Google. Automatic private iCloud backup preserves daily grants, all earned Flashcards and learning progress after the latest backup completes.

Will my library survive reinstalling Miji?

With automatic iCloud backup enabled, a completed backup preserves your words, decks, level, learning progress, original practice schedules and permanent earned Flashcard capacity. Use the same iCloud account and check Settings → Your library for the last successful backup before deleting the app. Pending changes, disabled backup or unavailable iCloud cannot guarantee recovery. Pro purchases are checked separately through Apple; use the same purchasing Apple account or Restore purchases.

How does the Pro trial work?

When available, eligible subscribers can choose a 7-day free trial of monthly Pro. The monthly subscription automatically renews at the price shown in the app after the trial unless you cancel through Apple. Trial eligibility and the offer shown by Apple decide whether you qualify. Lifetime is a one-time purchase including all future Pro features; it has no trial or recurring charge.

What if I used a reward account on an older build?

New reward-account signup is retired. Settings → Privacy → Account & privacy retains deletion for previous accounts, including after sign-out under Previous reward accounts. Apple proof locates only an existing account; it never signs you up. Deletion removes its associated reward records and this phone's online Flashcard data, then online Flashcards stay off until explicitly enabled. Local words, earned Flashcards, private iCloud backup and Pro purchases remain. Deletion does not cancel subscriptions. The Privacy Policy explains shared records and retained security/revocation data.

Can I delete my online Flashcard data without an account?

Yes. Open Settings → Privacy → Account & privacy and choose Delete online Flashcard data. No Apple sign-in is needed. Deletion removes this phone’s online daily and ad records, including their backup, while keeping local words, earned Flashcards, the offline gift and Pro purchases. A pending deletion pauses new claims and rewards; after confirmation they stay off until you choose Enable online Flashcards. A minimal security receipt remains indefinitely to prevent old credentials from recreating deleted records; it contains no reward activity or Apple identity. Any previous Miji reward account can still be deleted separately. The Privacy Policy explains retained security data and backup limits.

Where does the dictionary come from?

Wiktionary (through Wiktextract) and Open English WordNet, ranked by word frequency. The database Miji ships is CC BY-SA.
