Juggling several languages?
Polyglot Garden is a calm place to tend several languages at once. See which language needs you today, notice when one starts to fade, and keep your words from wandering into the wrong language.
What needs you today, the words you mix up, every minute you log, and the puzzles that come with it.
Writing about the app? You can use these screenshots.
It replaces the spreadsheet you keep next to your apps and tutors.
Focus, maintenance or paused, with a weekly target for each.
Today shows which language is next up and how this week compares with your plan.
A neglected language is flagged as fading before it slips. Pro can also remind you.
Start the timer from the bar above the tabs, or add time by hand. Note what you did (listening, reading, speaking, a lesson…) and the resource you used. The running timer sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and there's a Control Center button.
Keep an idea with its word in each of your languages, side by side. Flag false friends and the words you mix up, and log slips, when one language creeps into another. With Pro, Apple Intelligence can fill in an entry on supported devices.
It brings the words you mix up back until they stick. One round a day is free.
Keep a list of series, videos, books and podcasts for each language. Paste a link and the title and picture fill in. Tick things off when you're done.
Hours per week for each language, your mix of input, output and study, and milestones from 10 hours to 10,000. Free shows the last 4 weeks; Pro keeps your whole history.
Run a sprint: push one language for 4 to 16 weeks while the others rest on maintenance, then review. Give each language its days, and Next up follows the plan. See when you'll reach your next level at your current pace, and the pace your goal date needs, based on FSI study hours.
Start the timer with Siri, or let a Shortcuts automation start and stop it when you open a show or a lesson app.
Your log and notebook are stored on your device. Pro keeps them in step between iPhone and iPad with iCloud, brings in the log from your spreadsheet (CSV) and exports everything.
Start free with two languages. Pro is for the full juggle.
Everything you need to start.

No account and no ads. Your log and notebook are stored on your iPhone or iPad, and in your own private iCloud if you turn on sync. We only count anonymous usage, such as a session being logged, never your notes, your words or what's on your list. Read the privacy policy.
Answers to common questions, and a real person at the other end of the email.
Something not working, an idea, or a mistake in a puzzle? Email us and we'll get back to you. It helps to mention your device and iOS version.
[email protected]On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Polyglot Garden. Pro stays on until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription. Apple's guide: cancel a subscription from Apple.
The yearly plan starts with a one-week free trial. If you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you aren't charged; otherwise it becomes a yearly subscription.
Sign in with the same Apple Account, open Polyglot Garden (Polyglot on your home screen), go to Settings and tap Restore purchases.
With Pro, turn on iCloud sync in the app's Settings on each device, signed in to the same Apple Account. Sync starts the next time you open the app.
Yes, with Pro: in Settings, tap Import a spreadsheet log. Polyglot Garden reads columns for date, language, minutes, activity, resource and note, in any order. Hours instead of minutes work too, and so do commas, semicolons or tabs between columns. You can export your sessions as CSV from the same place.
It needs Polyglot Garden Pro and an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. It runs on the device, so what you type isn't sent anywhere.
Purchases go through Apple, so refunds do too. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com; see Apple's refund page for how it works.
On your iPhone or iPad, and in your own private iCloud if you turn on sync. We can't see it. Deleting a language in Settings → Languages removes everything logged for it, and deleting the app removes the rest from the device. With sync on, also delete the app's data in your iCloud storage settings, where it's listed as Polyglot. More in the privacy policy.
For iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later. On your home screen, it's called Polyglot.
