Free to start · iPhone, iPad & Mac · No accounts
Vocabulary widgets, everywhere you look.
Widgets make learning ambient. A new word — with its meaning, an example, and cultural notes a tap away — meets you at a glance all day long.
- iPhone Home Screen & Lock Screen. Full-size widgets plus compact accessory widgets keep Spanish in view from your first glance of the morning.
- Mac desktop. Vocabulary sits beside your work — Vocablo is a fully native Mac app, not a port.
- Multiple widgets, side by side. Each one rotates through a different topic you're studying.
- Synced by iCloud. Your streak, learned words, and settings follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Real Mexican Spanish, not textbook Spanish.
Most Spanish apps teach a generic, region-less Spanish. Vocablo's dictionary is different:
- 550+ curated words and phrases, hand-picked for everyday conversation in Mexico.
- Frequency-graded difficulty — you learn the words people actually say first, ordered by real-world usage.
- Cultural nuance included — like why "ahorita" can mean right now, in an hour, or politely never.
- Native pronunciation with a Mexican Spanish voice, spoken on demand.

- Streaks & automatic progression. Daily practice streaks and curriculum advancement keep you moving from beginner words toward natural vocabulary.

How is Mexican Spanish different from other Spanish?
Vocabulary, slang, and everyday phrasing differ meaningfully across Spanish-speaking regions. Vocablo's dictionary is curated specifically for conversational Mexican Spanish — including famously elastic words like "ahorita" — rather than generic textbook Spanish.
Does Vocablo work offline?

Is my data private?
Yes. Vocablo has no accounts, no ads, and no tracking. Learning progress stays on your device, and optional cross-device sync uses your personal iCloud. Read the full privacy policy.
Which devices does Vocablo support?
