Packlee

Vocabulary, on your own terms.

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 6% of May 2026

What it does

Language apps decide what you learn. That's their whole thing. Packlee doesn't. You pick words from anywhere — podcasts, conversations, books. AI translates and contextualizes instantly. Spaced repetition + 4 small games make them stick. No curriculum, no "Day 47 streak," just your vocabulary. iPhone: 7-day trial. Mac: free.

    Hi! Wanted to share the project I really wanted to have. TLDR; this app lets you create your own list of words and you get a Duolingo-like experience (kind of, still needs a lot of features) practicing those words in their context. My English is not the best but not the worst either. But I realized I can't boost it up after a certain level! In my belief, in order to truly learn a language, you need to be exposed to that language often. Vocabulary is the key factor here if you really want to improve in any language. My experience is that when I read a book to improve my English vocabulary, I…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
