Why you'll love it

Look up a word once. Keep it for good.

Catch it without trying

Share from any app while you translate. No typing, no decks to build.

Remember without effort

Ongee brings each word back right before you'd forget, so it actually sticks.

Reach conversation faster

Grow the few thousand words that cover everyday speech, one catch at a time.

The case for a pot

You've looked that word up before.

Translation hands you the word. Keeping it is the hard part. The research is blunt:

67%
of what you look up is gone by tomorrow, without review.
Ebbinghaus, 1885 · replicated in PLOS ONE (Murre & Dros, 2015)
95%
of everyday speech comes from about 3,000 words. Every catch counts.

up to
30%
more sticks when you revisit over days, not minutes.

Ongee is built around this loop: catch a word, then meet it again right before it fades.

How it works

Three taps you already make.

PapagoGoogleDeepL

1 · Translate

Look up a word, verb, or phrase wherever you already do.

2 · Share to Ongee

One tap from the share sheet drops it into your pot.

3 · It files itself

AI sorts it into a category and brings it back right before you'd forget.

What you save

Not just words. Anything you can translate.

Private by design

Your library stays on your phone.

Ongee keeps your words on-device. Your treasure house is yours, works offline, and is never mined for ads.

On-device

Your words are kept on your phone, not on a server.

Offline

Save and review with no connection. Translations sync later.

Yours forever

Export anytime. No lock-in, ever.

Testing in the open

When does your language enter the pot?

Ongee is tested in small waves, one language at a time, so every tester gets heard. The honest schedule:

KoreanWave 1 · iOS
Testing now
Testing since July 1, 2026.
KoreanWave 2 · iOS + Android

Every wave runs iOS first, then Android, with a small group of testers for a few days. Not contacted yet? That's normal. When it's your turn, Ongee emails you directly with everything you need to test.

Dates are honest estimates, not promises. If one moves, this page moves with it.
