BilingualBulletin
This iOS app teaches languages using real news, books, and podcasts, with nearly everything running on-device and no account required. It uses Apple's on-device translation, lets users ask questions to Apple's foundation models, and transcribes audio and video locally. It supports 19 languages, ships with built-in RSS news and podcast feeds (with support for adding custom feeds), and plays audio with word-by-word follow-along. It requires iOS 26 and is currently seeking beta testers.

“I’ve been working on BilingualBulletin, an iOS app for learning a language from real news, books and podcasts. The coolest thing about the app is that nearly everything runs on the phone, and there’s no account.”
