Capture
Import a language screenshot or photo — a subtitle frame, a page from a book, a sign across the street.
Coming soon · iOS
Turn language screenshots into cards worth saving.
A private iOS language learning app for the phrases you meet in the real world.
Import a screenshot or photo, highlight the phrase that matters, and viewlog turns it into an editable card with meaning, nuance, context, and review. A notebook for the language you're actually living inside.

How it works
From screenshot to review card in four quiet steps.
A capture should be faster than typing a note. The work after — the OCR, the translation, the card, the review — should feel quietly inevitable.
Focus
Highlight the phrase that matters. Everything around it stays in the background.
Translate
Meaning, nuance, grammar, and a sentence or two of context. Edit anything that doesn't sound right.
Return
Cards collect into your language space. Search them, review them, and ask about what you've saved.
The language space
Your saved phrases become a reviewable language space.
Each space is a small library of the phrases you've noticed. Today's captures sit alongside what's waiting to be reviewed. Grammar patterns you keep saving rise to the top on their own.
- Today's captures and what's due for review
- Patterns you keep returning to
- Searchable by phrase, meaning, source, or grammar

LearningWhy it matters
Your camera roll kept the image. viewlog keeps the meaning.
A screenshot of a phrase is a promise to yourself. We'd like to help you keep it.
A language database, not a folder
Every screenshot becomes structured fields — phrase, meaning, nuance, grammar, source, tags — instead of an image you'll never find again.
Editable review cards
Fix the OCR. Rewrite the translation. Adjust the nuance. Your edits stay with the language card and shape what comes next.
Find the phrase again
Search saved phrases by meaning, grammar pattern, source app, or how often you've reviewed them.
Ask your language space
“Quiz me on the phrases from this week.” “Compare these two expressions.” The answers come from your own captures.
Private by default
Your photos stay yours.
Source images, cards, edits, review history — all of it lives on your device. When we ask a model for an explanation, we send the words you chose, not the photo.
- On-device by defaultCaptures, cards, and corrections never leave your phone unless you ask them to.
- You stay in charge of the cardEdit anything before saving. Your corrections shape future captures in the same space.
- Minimal data, transparently usedOnly the words you highlight reach the model — and only when you ask for an explanation.
Questions
Built for real language, not example sentences.
The best review cards start with phrases you actually noticed. viewlog keeps the image as the source and the phrase as the thing you return to.
Can viewlog make language cards from screenshots?
Yes. The first viewlog surface is built for screenshots and photos: import an image, highlight the phrase you care about, then save the extracted meaning, nuance, source, and review state as a card.
Is viewlog only for vocabulary words?
No. viewlog is designed for real phrases from subtitles, books, articles, signs, social posts, and conversations you want to remember in context.
Is the iOS app public yet?
Not yet. viewlog is in private beta work, so the current landing page collects email addresses for the iOS waitlist.
For language learners
