Questions, answered calmly
Everything people ask about Eachday. Something missing? We're easy to reach.
What is Eachday?+
Eachday is a calm word-of-the-day app for iPhone. Every morning you get one carefully chosen word in the language you're learning — with its pronunciation, a real example sentence, and the story behind it. Add the widget and the word lives on your home screen all day. No streaks, no guilt, no grind.
Is Eachday free?+
Yes. Downloading Eachday is free, and the daily word with the home-screen widget is free every day. All five languages, the focus tracks, practice and games are free too. All-Access — two languages at once, unlimited saved words and practice, your whole history, pronunciation feedback and exporting your words — is a small monthly plan or a single one-time purchase.
Which languages does Eachday support?+
Spanish, French, German, Italian, and English. See the Spanish, French, German, Italian, and English pages for a taste of each.
Is Eachday a good alternative to Duolingo?+
They're built on opposite philosophies. Duolingo is a game you have to keep winning — points, leagues, and a streak to protect. Eachday is one word a day with no score at all. If gamification works for you, keep it. If it stresses you out or you keep quitting over broken streaks, Eachday is the calm alternative: you learn by glancing at your home screen, not by finishing lessons.
Does learning one word a day actually work?+
One word a day is 365 words a year — learned with context, pronunciation, and a story, which is how words tend to stick. Eachday isn't a complete course and doesn't pretend to be one; it's a habit that compounds quietly and pairs well with anything else you're doing, including nothing.
How does the widget work?+
Add the Eachday widget from your iPhone's widget gallery and today's word appears right on your home screen — it works on the lock screen too. The word refreshes each morning. You don't need to open the app at all.
Is All-Access a subscription?+
Your choice. All-Access comes as a small monthly plan you can cancel any time, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. On a new phone, open Eachday's settings and tap Restore while signed into the same Apple Account. The free daily word keeps working either way.
What iPhone do I need?+
Eachday requires iOS 17.0 or later. It's a small, fast download — the app is designed to be glanced at, not lived in.
Is Eachday available on Android?+
Not yet — Eachday is iPhone-only today. If you'd like the daily word anyway, you can get it by email from the homepage, and you'll hear when that changes.
