Chunkly is a Safari extension and Mac app that translates whatever you select — phrase by phrase, the way fluent speakers build it — right where you read it. It even works system-wide inside any Mac app, then turns what you read into flashcards you'll genuinely remember.
Fluent speakers don't build sentences word by word. They reach for ready-made phrases — chunks. Chunkly shows you those chunks, so you learn how a sentence is built, not just what it says.
Dumps one long block on you:
“I would like to make a decision as soon as possible.”
You got the gist — and learned nothing you can reuse tomorrow.
Breaks meaning into the phrases people really use:
Three reusable building blocks you'll recognize everywhere.
Select any text on any page and Chunkly translates it in a clean panel that opens over what you're reading. You get the phrase-by-phrase breakdown, word meanings underneath, and a natural full-sentence translation — without ever leaving the page.
One tap on “Create flashcards” turns your selection into cards — built automatically from the exact thing you just translated. They're grouped by where they came from: the article, the book, the app. Duplicates are skipped, so your deck stays clean.
Chunkly shows you what's due today and quizzes you in seconds with a proven Again / Hard / Good / Easy system. Tap any card to hear it read aloud, or turn on auto-speak to train your ear while you review.
A clean statistics view shows cards added, reviews done, your accuracy and active-day streak — by week, month, or all time. Small wins add up, and you can see them stacking.
No copy-paste, no app-switching. Chunkly lives in the browser you already use and plugs into macOS itself, so the same phrase-by-phrase translation is one click away — everywhere.
Tap the toolbar button, or select text and choose Chunkly. The breakdown opens right over the page — on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Reading a PDF, a Note, an email, a message? Select the text and pick Chunkly from the Services menu. The exact same translation works in every macOS app.
A full Chunkly app on iPhone, iPad and Mac for studying your deck and translating any pasted text — with your cards following you across devices.
Translate on the Mac while you work, capture on iPad while you read, review on iPhone while you wait. Your deck and progress stay in sync.
From Spanish news to Japanese blogs to German docs — translate into the language you think in, and learn from content you actually care about.
That's Chunkly. Learn straight from the content you already love to read — in Safari, in any Mac app, on every device — and quietly build a vocabulary that sticks.
