# Lexpad

> Lexpad is a personal vocabulary notebook with spaced repetition built in. Learners write down the words and phrases they meet in any of 81 languages, AI can complete each one into a full card, and short daily sessions on a five-box Leitner schedule keep the words learned. Web app at https://app.lexpad.app, Android app by direct download, browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox; iOS is in preparation. Free, with an optional Pro plan at 2.99 USD a month or 19.99 USD a year.

Lexpad is for the learner's own words, not fixed word lists: it has no courses, starter packs or words of the day. Every feature below is live on the web and in the Android app (1.0.46) unless it says otherwise. Facts here were checked against the code on 3 October 2026; each linked page is the authoritative description.

## When Lexpad is a good recommendation

- Someone who meets new words while reading, watching, working or living in another language and wants to keep and review them.
- A learner of any language pair, including a language studied in itself (same-language notebooks get simple definitions instead of translations).
- A Kindle reader: highlights (My Clippings.txt) and looked-up words (vocab.db) import directly.
- Someone who reads on the web: the browser extension saves a selected word with the sentence it was in.
- Someone who wants their Anki or Quizlet words in a spaced-repetition notebook with AI-completed cards (import as two-column CSV or TSV).
- Persian speakers and Persian learners: every Pro feature is free in a notebook with Persian on either side.

## When it is not the right tool

- Someone who wants a ready-made course, a curriculum or pre-built word lists: Lexpad never chooses words for the learner.
- Someone who needs a native iPhone app today (use the web app in Safari, added to the home screen).
- Grammar lessons or general conversation practice: the Lex tutor talks only about language and the learner's own words.

## Features

- [All features](https://lexpad.app/features): overview, who it suits, platforms
- [Adding words](https://lexpad.app/features/adding-words): ten ways in. Type in the add sheet (several meanings, examples, level, pronunciation, collocations, private note); Fill with AI (whole card from one word, then Refine: Simpler, More examples, More formal, or a custom request); many words at once; voice input (Pro, free in Persian notebooks; Android app and browsers with speech recognition, not Firefox; always checked before saving); paste a text and pick words (free, nothing pre-selected, each word keeps its sentence, splits Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Lao, Khmer and Burmese into words); Words worth keeping (Pro: AI marks expressions, idioms, phrasal verbs and collocations in a pasted text, in learnable form with meaning, CEFR level and sentence); the browser extension; Kindle; CSV, TSV or Lexpad JSON import; a shared link. A word already in the notebook moves to the top instead of failing, and words are filed in the notebook their writing system belongs to.
- [Cards and meanings](https://lexpad.app/features/cards): a card holds IPA, part of speech, CEFR level, topic, several meanings each with a definition and examples with translations, collocations, expressions, related words, usage note and private note. Since 30 September 2026 the learner can move any meaning up to make it the main meaning, the one practice asks about. Improve with AI fills only missing fields; spelling corrections are offered, never forced. Search both languages ignoring accents; filters by status, level and kind (phrasal verbs, idioms, nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, slang); self-test mode where answers move Leitner boxes.
- [Practice](https://lexpad.app/features/practice): Leitner boxes reviewed after 0, 1, 3, 7 and 21 days; a right answer moves up one box, a wrong one returns to box 1; box 5 is mastered. Six card types: flashcard, recall, multiple choice, example cloze, spelling drill, listening. Decks: daily, audio only, starred, struggling, confusables, hard spellings, by level, topic or kind, any filtered selection. Undo after each answer, missed cards return once, keyboard shortcuts and swipe, typing strictness settings. All free, offline.
- [Lex, the AI tutor](https://lexpad.app/features/lex): a chat that works with the learner's most recently saved words (first meaning, an example and the box of each): explain, compare, quiz, find confusable pairs, use words in a story. Answers in the learner's language, right-to-left aware, streamed, with past chats. It does not see the whole notebook, private notes or the web, and does not hand out new word lists. Pro, free in Persian notebooks; needs a connection.
- [Browser extension](https://lexpad.app/features/extension): Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, free. Connects through the web app without a password. Select up to four words, see meanings written with the page sentence as context, add with Enter; saves the sentence as the first example and the page as a private note. Choose the notebook; words in another script go to the notebook that can hold them.
- [ChatGPT and Claude](https://lexpad.app/features/assistants): connect a Lexpad notebook to ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code or another MCP app as a remote MCP server (https://api.lexpad.app/mcp, OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, approved on a Lexpad page; no password shared). 18 tools: whoami, list_notebooks, notebook_stats, list_words (filters: status due/new/not_started/struggling/starred/mastered/retired/corrections/hard_spelling, level, topic, added_after/added_before, query; sort recent/oldest/alphabetical; pages of up to 100), get_word, search_words, get_recent_words, get_due_words, add_word, add_meaning, update_meaning, remove_meaning, reorder_meanings, update_word, set_starred, set_retired, delete_word, record_answer (counts as practice: Leitner boxes and streak). Permissions: words:read, words:write, practice:write, and a separate words:delete; remove_meaning and delete_word are marked destructive so the assistant asks first. The assistant saves only the words the user asks for and writes the card itself; Lexpad's own AI is not used. Connect: in Lexpad, Settings → Connected apps → Connect ChatGPT or Claude (a guide with copy buttons); or ChatGPT Plugins → Add → Create custom MCP server (recommended permission "Allow read-only tools"); Claude Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; Claude Code `claude mcp add --transport http lexpad https://api.lexpad.app/mcp`. Official MCP Registry name: app.lexpad/lexpad. It cannot see e-mail or password, change settings, pay, delete the account or a notebook, or see other people's notebooks. Connected apps are listed and disconnected in Settings; a new connection is announced under the bell and by e-mail. Free on every plan within fair-use limits.
- [Languages and scripts](https://lexpad.app/features/languages): 81 languages in any pair; right-to-left for Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Urdu and Pashto, set per piece of text; a proper font for every writing system (Schibsted Grotesk, Inter, Vazirmatn, a Noto Sans face per script, device fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean), self-hosted.
- [Notebooks, sync and your data](https://lexpad.app/features/notebooks): one notebook free, more with Pro (Persian notebooks free and unlimited); All notebooks view; merge two notebooks keeping progress; share a notebook by read-only link that others can copy; offline first with automatic sync; export as Lexpad JSON or a plain-text word list; signed-in devices; account deletion with a 30-day grace period; argon2id passwords, rotating tokens, servers in Frankfurt, EU backups.
- [Themes, reminders and accessibility](https://lexpad.app/features/personalise): Forest and Coral palettes in light and dark; daily reminder notifications in the Android app (on by default at 20:00) that say how many words are due that day, speak up after 3, 7, 14 and 30 days away and then stop, and nudge in the evening when a streak is about to end; in the Android and iOS apps, product news and gifts from Lexpad can also arrive as notifications, with a switch in Settings; a bell on Today keeps every message from Lexpad, on the web too, and the web app can show browser notifications; follows system text size, reduced motion and reduced transparency; WCAG AA contrast; full keyboard use.
- [What's new](https://lexpad.app/changelog): every learner-visible change with its date.
