Stop drilling flashcards you keep forgetting. Vocabild turns each German word into a sound-alike keyword and an image your brain won't shake off.
Vocabild helps you remember German words by turning each one into a picture
you can't forget.
Instead of repeating flashcards until they blur together, every word gets a
keyword that sounds like it, a short scene, and an illustration linking that
sound to the meaning. Fenster sounds like "fence stare." Blume sounds like
"bloom." The keyword is an English word your ear already knows, so there is
nothing extra to memorise.
DER, DIE AND DAS, WITHOUT MEMORISING ARTICLES
Every German noun is der, die or das, and there is rarely any logic to which.
Tisch, Gabel, Messer. Table, fork, knife. Three genders, no pattern.
Vocabild puts the article inside the picture. Three characters appear across
every scene:
- A deer means der. Deer, der.
- A bee means die. Die rhymes with bee.
- Glass means das. Das, glass.
In the Fenster scene, fans lean over a garden fence and stare across a lawn,
straight through the big glass window of a mansion. The glass is not scenery.
That is how you already knew Fenster was das, without trying.
Learn three characters once and you never memorise an article again.
ANY WORD, NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S DECK
Most vocabulary apps hand you a fixed list. Vocabild builds a mnemonic on
demand for any German word you search: the ones from your textbook, your
podcast, your last conversation. Paste a word, get a scene back.

WHO IT IS FOR
Learners from A1 upward. Beginners building a first few hundred words, and
intermediates stuck between B1 and B2, where progress is almost entirely
vocabulary volume. Built for exam preparation, and for anyone who has drilled
rote flashcards and forgotten them anyway.
FREE AND PRO
Searching words, reading their mnemonics and browsing starter sets are free
and unlimited. What counts is saving a word to your vocabulary.
Free accounts can save 10 words. Those 10 are permanent: deleting a saved word
does not return the slot. Starter sets are browsable lists, and adding a word
from one uses a slot like any other.
Pro removes the limit:
- Save as many words as you like
- Generate more new mnemonics each day
- Ask for a different scene whenever one does not land
Pro is an auto-renewing subscription billed to your Apple ID. It renews
automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current
period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your vocabulary and progress are stored on your device. There is no cloud sync
yet, so moving to a new iPhone means starting your saved set again. Vocabild
is not directed at children under 16.
