1. Overview Svenska Verb This app is a focused, offline‑capable Swedish verb learning tool.

The standard process looked like this: Select a word Open DeepL in a new tab Paste the text Get the translation Open Anki Create a new card Copy the original and translation Save By the time I finished this entire cycle, I had already forgotten the context in which I encountered the word. Classic context switching problem. ...
