Desktop App
Study, take notes, and review in one serious desktop workspace.
Ikhou Desktop brings cards, notes, tutoring, sources, and audio together so your language workflow stops leaking across browser tabs, chat windows, and separate note apps.
Desktop flow
One desktop surface for the full learning loop.
Review
Run focused SRS sessions with due counts, audio, and a cleaner workflow than a browser tab can offer.
Notes
Capture markdown notes, connect ideas, and keep source context next to the cards you are studying.
Decks
Bring your deck-driven study system over without giving up the habits that already work.
The desktop experience is built to feel like a real study tool: fast to return to, easy to browse, and centered on the work itself.
Notes
An Obsidian-style note system built into your study app.
Write markdown notes, keep a real vault, connect ideas, and manage study context inside the same workspace that handles your cards and tutoring.
Markdown-first writing for daily logs, grammar pages, reading notes, and long-form study docs.
Vault-style organization so folders, linked pages, and study context stay easy to browse.
Databases, templates, and note workflows live inside the same environment as your review queue.
Daily immersion
Markdown-first, vault-style notes that stay next to your cards, tutor context, and source material.
Why desktop
Built for learners who are done stitching five tools together.
Ikhou Desktop keeps the full loop in one environment instead of forcing you to juggle flashcards, markdown notes, AI chats, reading sources, and media generation in separate places.
Your note system, deck workflow, source material, and tutoring context all stay connected.
You can keep writing long-form study notes without opening a second app for your vault.
Deck-based learners can keep a familiar Anki-compatible study flow instead of rebuilding from scratch.
The workspace stays focused on studying, not on moving information between disconnected tools.
Tutor
The AI tutor works across your whole study system.
The tutor is not boxed into a blank chat window. It can reason over your notes, cards, source material, and learning progress so its help stays grounded in what you are actually studying.
Ask about weak areas and it can pull in learning statistics from your decks and card history.
Ask for help on a topic and it can search your notes vault and linked source material for context.
Use it to tighten the workflow itself by changing notes, shaping study material, and helping create focused decks.
Workflow
From source material to notes to retained cards.
The desktop app is organized around how serious learners actually work when they are reading, writing, and reviewing every day.
Bring in real material
Import decks, collect sources, and pull in the material you already want to understand.
Turn it into connected notes
Write markdown notes, organize a vault, and keep study context linked to the material you are actively learning from.
Review with continuity
Go straight from notes and source material into card review without losing context or changing apps.
What you can do
The desktop build is a full study environment, not just a reviewer.
Every major surface in the app exists to keep more of your language work in one place and make the notes-to-cards loop easier to sustain.
Bring your Anki workflow over
Import decks, keep rich card content and media in view, and continue studying with a card system that feels familiar.
Practice without browser friction
Run SRS sessions with due counts, audio support, and a layout designed for focused repetition.
Keep your vault next to your cards
Write, browse, and connect markdown notes without splitting your attention across a second note-taking app.
Ask a tutor that sees the full context
The tutor can work from notes, decks, sources, and learning statistics instead of answering in isolation.
Turn material into listening practice
Generate lesson-style audio and transcripts so your notes and source documents can become listening sessions too.
Keep the whole loop in one place
Move between sources, notes, cards, tutoring, and deck actions without the constant drag of context switching.
What matters
Everything stays centered on studying, not app-hopping.
The product decisions are meant to protect continuity: keep your notes close to your cards, keep your deck workflow familiar, and keep your study context easy to reopen.
Your notes and cards support each other instead of living in isolated apps.
The workspace is built for learners who want both a serious note system and a serious review system.
The tutor can work from real study context, including notes, source material, and performance data.
Sources, notes, tutoring, deck actions, and review all contribute to the same learning loop.
