About this app

Tilia turns the books you already want to read into your personal vocabulary builder.

Upload any book (EPUB, PDF, or TXT) or pick one from the built-in catalog of free books. Tilia scans every word, compares it against your vocabulary level, and surfaces only the words you don't know — as flashcards, quizzes, and instant in-context definitions. No canned word lists. No textbook sentences. Just the vocabulary of the books you love, at exactly your level.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Take a short vocabulary test — Tilia estimates how many words you
know (most people are surprised).
2. Add a book: upload your own or choose a classic from the catalog.
3. Read. Words above your level become flashcards automatically, each with the sentence where you first met it. In reader, long-press any word to define and save it.
4. Review with spaced repetition. Cards are scheduled with proven
algorithms, so words come back right before you'd forget them.

READ WITH FRIENDS
Start a co-read and invite friends — even if they don't have the app yet.
Share highlights, reply and react right on the page, and keep each other going
to the last chapter.
