One word. Two websites. A short review, then back to reading.

Spaced repetition, in context

What you recall shapes what comes next.

When a saved word is due, Stickly turns it into a short inline review. After the result, its next review updates: words that feel easy can wait longer, while hard or missed words return sooner.

Hard · Good · Easy. Progress saved. Keep reading.

Memory over time

Review before the word fades

Your browser, your rules

Helpful when you want it. Quiet when you don't.

Translation, remembered-word highlights, and inline practice stay separate. Pause any of them for a tab or a whole website—and keep reading on your terms.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need an account?
No. You can start using Stickly before signing up. Create or link a free account when you want your saved words, review progress, and preferences synced across devices.
How does spaced review work?
Saved words that are not due appear in purple. When a word is ready for review, it appears in orange and opens a short typed challenge after an intentional hover or click. A correct answer turns matching highlights green and schedules the word further into the future.
Will Stickly get in the way of reading?
Selection translation, remembered-word highlights, and inline practice are separate controls. You can change each one independently or pause Stickly for a tab or an entire website.
How is this different from a flashcard app?
Stickly starts with words you actually meet while reading and keeps the sentence around them. Flashcards, the tile game, and Anki export are optional ways to review that same personal vocabulary.
What does Stickly read and save?
On websites you allow, Stickly reads page content locally so it can detect selections, highlight saved words, and show inline review. It sends selected text and the minimum surrounding context only when you ask it to translate or save a word. Your data is never sold.
Where does Stickly work?
Stickly works on most websites you already read, including news, blogs, documentation, coursework, and forums.
How much does Stickly cost?
Free includes 10 translations per week, with up to 20 before your first saved-word review. Premium costs $49 per year or $4.99 per month and removes the weekly translation limit.
