About Halm: Read & Learn
Read something you actually want to read — in German or English — and let the words stick. Halm turns short stories and adapted news into reading you can handle at your level. Tap any word to see what it means right here, in this sentence. Keep the ones worth keeping. EPISODES Multi-part stories set where you'd actually be: an apartment viewing, a doctor's waiting room, a Sunday at the lake. Each episode shares vocabulary across its parts, so words return on their own instead of being drilled. TAP ANY WORD Translation runs on your device. Halm reads the whole sentence, not the word alone. KEEP WHAT MATTERS You choose what enters review. Nothing is added behind your back. Kept words return on an FSRS schedule, and Halm shows you counts you can verify — never invented percentages. GERMAN AND ENGLISH Two full tracks. Pick one, or switch whenever you like. NO STREAKS Nothing to break, no leaderboard, no notification guilting you back. Read when you want to read. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no third-party analytics or advertising. Halm collects nothing automatically. ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver throughout, Dynamic Type everywhere, Reduce Motion honored, and color never used as the only signal. Works offline. Requires iOS 26.

What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated August 11, 2026
· Episodes: narrated slideshow lessons that teach everyday cultural know-how: how things actually work in the country, not textbook dialogues. Cover art, voiced narration, tap any word. · Rich word popup: one tap on any word gives the full picture: meaning in your language, real examples, conjugation/case info, audio, and one-tap save to your vocabulary. · Redesigned Home: a daily-return screen instead of a menu: what to do now, what's due for review, your level and words known, and what you're ready for. · Word Sets: curated word and phrase bundles you can add outside of stories, so building vocabulary isn't gated on finishing content.
