I'm Glosso. I eat your screen time and make you collect words. Block Instagram, TikTok, X until you finish a 15-minute language lesson. 9 languages. iOS.
Hey guys 👋
I'm Alex, founder of Glosso (and few other apps since 2021). This app came from a frankly embarrassing pattern: I'd open Instagram "for 2 minutes" and lose 45. Meanwhile, my language learning app sat untouched for days.
So I asked myself: what if the apps we can't stop opening became the trigger for the thing we actually want to do?
That's Glosso. It sits between you and Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit. Tap any of them and instead of the feed, you get a quick word-matching session in the language you're learning (9 available). Match words for a few minutes and scroll unlock.
The tagline is "Earn your scroll."
Honest moment: I removed the paywall entirely this morning, yes, on launch day. I'd rather have real users sending me real feedback than €5.99/month from a handful of people. Monetization can wait. Learning what actually works can't.
A few things I'd love your honest take on:
1. What did you like?
2. What did you not like?
3. What would make you come back tomorrow and the day after?
4. And the most valuable one → if you tried it and won't open it again, why? Be brutal. That's the answer that helps me build a better version.
Tear it apart. Ask anything. Thanks for taking the time 🙏
I think very interesting app because i'm also watching for language and digital detox service. Is it kind of Duoringo with sns ban?
Using social media as a language learning tool is brilliant. It’s high-context and actually interesting. How does Glosso decide which vocabulary to highlight based on a user's current proficiency level?
