Pronunciation, meanings, word roots and a follow-up question
Saved words are marked wherever they appear in the book, so you meet them again
Spaced repetition (FSRS), with fill-in sentences from your own books

Prefer to keep lookups on your device? Stay signed out and lookups use Apple Translation, which is free and works offline once a language is downloaded.

Which languages can I learn?

Any language pair Apple Translation supports, and with BookMuse AI, almost any language it understands. Bookmuse itself speaks English, Vietnamese and Spanish.

How do AI agents use my library?

Bookmuse has an MCP server. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code, sign in, and allow access; the agent can then search your books, highlights and words, add words, organise folders and add books. The steps are in the app under Settings › Connections › AI Agents, and on the web dashboard. Agents can't delete your account or use BookMuse AI.

How do I make Bookmuse my default Translate app?

On iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app, then Apps → Default Apps → Translation, and choose Bookmuse. Now select text in any app, tap Translate, and Bookmuse shows the meaning with one tap to save it.

Is my reading private?

Yes. There are no ads and no tracking. Without an account, your books, words and progress stay on your device. Sign in and they are stored in your Bookmuse account so they sync to your other devices and the web; you can delete your account at any time. With BookMuse AI, what you look up and ask is sent to our AI provider to be answered; stay signed out to keep lookups on your device with Apple Translation. See the privacy policy for the details.
