Describe what you need

Language learning apps often feel rigid. With Moldable, you build a journal that fits your learning style — whether you're practicing writing, expanding vocabulary, or just exploring a new language.

Create a language learning journal app where I can:
- Write entries in my native language
- See real-time translations using DeepL as I type
- Support multiple language pairs (like English → French, Spanish, etc.)
- Listen to the translation with text-to-speech
- Keep a history of all my journal entries

Tips for best results

Choose your translation service

DeepL offers high-quality translations for many language pairs. You'll need to add your own API key in the app settings.

Use the text-to-speech

Listening to the translation helps with pronunciation and listening comprehension.

Write regularly

Even short entries help. The journal keeps all your history so you can see your progress over time.
