Fika Lingo
This app offers language and vocabulary practice exercises as a Duolingo replacement, including matching-words practice and other exercise types; practice generation runs on-device with a local LLM, and users can supply their own topics such as "Words that relate to Hacker News". It currently requires English as the counterpart language, and LFM model finetuning is being explored to improve the local practice generation.

“Also trying to replace own Duolingo usage with Fika Lingo (https://fikalingo.com) basic idea was to first repro the practice of matching words. There is now few other types of language / vocabulary practices. The practice generation works on-device with local LLM, you can give the topic yourself like "Words that relate to Hacker News".”
Fikalingo
Language learning app that generates practice exercises with an on-device LLM from user-given topics, such as word guessing practices for a topic like "words i might need as a auto mechanic". Released so far for iOS and web.

“Also working on https://fikalingo.com, basically replacing my current language learning app usage with that own made app. It has on-device based LLLm practice generation based on user given topic.”
