How often should I practice?

Daily practice works best. Even 10-15 minutes a day builds consistency and helps with long-term retention. DasBlink makes it easy to fit practice into your routine.

Who built DasBlink?

How can I support DasBlink?

The best support is using the platform and sharing it with others who might find it helpful. If you'd like to contribute financially to hosting costs, donation options are available (but completely optional).

How do I track my progress?

DasBlink automatically tracks which words you've marked as correct or incorrect. You can see your progress in the vocabulary trainer, and the app will prioritize showing you words you haven't mastered yet.

Can I reset my progress?

Yes, you can reset your progress at any time from the vocabulary trainer settings. This will clear all your saved progress and let you start fresh.

What's the difference between guest mode and having an account?

Guest mode saves your progress locally in your browser, which means it won't sync across devices. Creating an account allows your progress to be saved in the cloud and accessible from any device.
