Frequently Asked Questions

Innesto is a language learning reader app. Share any foreign-language article, read it in an in-app browser, tap words or phrases to translate them, save vocabulary, and review with spaced repetition flashcards. The core experience runs entirely on your device.

Innesto is Italian for "grafting" — the art of joining a branch to a tree, where it takes root and grows as part of the whole. Just like grafting, the app helps you take expressions you encounter in foreign texts and make them part of your own vocabulary.

Innesto supports any language your device's built-in translation engine supports. There are no artificial language limits in the app.

No. All core features — reading, translation, vocabulary saving, and flashcard review — work without an account. An account is only needed for Premium features like cloud sync and LLM-powered explanations.

Use your browser's share sheet to send any URL to Innesto, or paste a URL directly in the app. The article opens in an in-app browser that preserves the original site's layout.

Yes. Since Innesto uses an in-app browser with cookies enabled, you can log in to subscription sites and read paywalled content just as you would in a regular browser.

Select any word or phrase in an article. The app uses your device's built-in translation engine (Apple Translation on iOS, ML Kit on Android) to provide an instant translation. This works offline and costs nothing.

Detail is a Premium feature that uses an LLM to provide in-depth explanations — word meanings, part of speech, usage examples, grammar notes, and nuance analysis. It goes beyond simple translation to help you deeply understand an expression.

Innesto uses FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler), a modern algorithm that adapts to your memory patterns. It schedules reviews at optimal intervals — showing you words just before you would forget them.

Yes. All vocabulary data and review scheduling is stored locally on your device. You can review your flashcards anytime, anywhere, without an internet connection.

Yes. The core loop — reading articles, translating words, saving vocabulary, and reviewing flashcards — is completely free with no ads and no tracking. Premium features are available through an optional subscription.

Premium adds LLM-powered detailed explanations, active learning exercises (similar expressions, translation practice, free composition), cloud sync across devices, and multi-device access.

Premium is available as an in-app purchase through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You can subscribe from within the app.

Yes, anytime. Manage your subscription through your device's App Store or Play Store settings. You'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period.

For free users, none — all data stays on your device. Premium users provide an email for authentication, and cloud sync stores your vocabulary on our servers. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Local data can be deleted anytime by clearing app data or uninstalling the app. For Premium users, contact support@innesto.app to request deletion of your account and cloud data. It will be removed within 7 days.
