Guides

Keep the words you look up

Short, practical walkthroughs for Arabic ↔ English learners who want a vocabulary that survives the tab, the video, and the week. No account, no cloud database, no copy-paste — just local folders and an export you control.

Export to Markdown, TXT, CSV, or JSON — open it anywhere.

Honest roadmap

What is not here yet

These are planned, not published. They will appear here when they are useful enough to stand on their own.

Direct Anki packages

CSV export is available today for Anki import. A one-click .apkg export is on the roadmap.

More language workflows

Guides are written for Arabic ↔ English first. More workflows will be added only when they are genuinely useful.

Start with one word.

Install Hassala, save a single word, and export one file. The workflow is easier to feel than to explain.
