Spanish news, two coffees, an article you want to finish. You select the word, take the meaning, save the ones that mattered. Tomorrow’s read starts grounded.
How it works
From the word that stopped you to the one you remember.
Krendo follows one small loop: meet a word, translate it on the spot, save it with the sentence it came from, come back when you have five minutes. Same loop whether it’s Spanish news after work or your first French article.
01
Read in another language
Open any article, blog post, or page in the language you're learning. The extension stays out of the way — no banners, no popups, nothing added to the page.
Select a word or phrase and the Krendo button appears. Click it, or press Alt+Shift+T (⌥+⇧+T on Mac).
El periodista ha logrado reconocer a la mujer entre la multitud después de varios minutos de observación atenta.

Translate inline
A small panel opens next to your selection — the translation, dictionary entries, and a play button to hear it out loud. Powered by Google Translate.
Click anywhere outside the panel to close it.
03
Save words that matter
Save it from the panel, and we keep the sentence it came from and the page it's on — context is what makes a word stick.
It's stored on your device, not on a server, so it never leaves your computer. Browse, tag, and organize everything on the Saved words page.

One row in your library. Searchable, taggable, sortable.
04
Come back and review
Your saved words are waiting at krendo.app/app. Open the dashboard to see what’s due, drill a handful from a preset — “Due now,” “By tag,” whatever fits — and move on with your day.
Right answers move a word forward — new → learning → stronger. Miss one, and it comes back sooner. Everything happens offline, right from your device.

Different readers, same loop
How it shows up in real reading.
Your first French article. Half the page is new, but you finish it — one stopped-word at a time. The library waits without judgment.
Academic French or German philosophy for a real test. Each word saves with the passage it came from, so the next review pass is grounded in where you first met it.
Portuguese books, Italian essays — comfortable but not perfect. Catch the almost-knowns quietly. Come back when you’re curious, not when a counter demands it.
Ready when you are.
