About Hend

Hend is an AI-augmented, local-first language learning app designed to make learning a new language feel more natural and mindful.

Focusing primarily on reading (and eventually listening) comprehension, Hend provides personalized content that matches your skill level and interests, helping you absorb language through context rather than rote memorization or gamified exercises.

Rather than overwhelming you with features, we've tried to make Hend a distraction-free environment where you can immerse yourself in comprehensible input—text that's just challenging enough to help you progress. As you encounter new words, Hend helps you understand them in context and tracks your familiarity over time, gradually introducing more complex content as your skills grow.

Hend embraces the reality that language learning involves some discomfort, but transforms this into a mindful practice where you learn at your own pace, without the pressure of streaks, points, or competitive leaderboards. It's learning designed for actual humans, not optimization algorithms.
