FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Extension
Which browsers are supported?
Rememberry works as an extension for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Firefox for Android (mobile browser) and Opera. It may also work in other Chromium-based browsers (for example Vivaldi), but that is not guaranteed.
How do I translate a word on a page?
With the extension installed, select a phrase or double-click a word on a web page. Rememberry opens the translation beside the text, with dictionary details when they are available, and lets you save the useful meaning as a flashcard.
How do I translate text I type or paste?
Open the extension, then type or paste the text you want to translate. Rememberry shows the translation, with dictionary details when they are available, and lets you save the useful meaning as a flashcard.
How do I hide the translation icon that appears when I select text?
Open the extension, go to Settings → In-Page Translation, and turn off “Show translation icon beside selection”. This hides only the icon. In-page translation stays enabled, and any other trigger you have configured still works.
How do I disable in-page translation on specific websites?
Open the extension, go to Settings → In-Page Translation, and add the site’s domain under “Disabled for sites”. You can also click the block icon in an open translation to disable in-page translation for the current domain. This disables both the translation icon and the in-page translation window on that domain. To turn it back on, remove the domain you added from “Disabled for sites”.
Rememberry also maintains a separate list of sites where in-page translation is disabled automatically.
What is the extension side panel?
How do I translate text in a PDF?
Here are the ways you can translate words and phrases in PDF files opened in your browser:
1. Use the context menu (right-click): right-click the selected text and choose “Translate with Rememberry”.
2. Use the toolbar icon (remote files only): select the text, click the Rememberry icon in the browser toolbar, then open the Translate screen.
Important: the toolbar method only works for PDFs hosted on a remote website, not for files opened locally from your computer. Due to browser limitations, hotkeys and the Rememberry head-icon next to selected text do not work in PDFs. PDF translation is not supported in Firefox.
How many languages are supported?
You can translate between 100+ languages. Many languages also include a word dictionary with transcription, definitions, synonyms, antonyms and usage examples.
Why does the extension ask for permissions?
Rememberry needs a few browser permissions to translate and save words on the pages you read:
• Access to websites: lets you translate and create flashcards while you browse instead of using a separate reader. Browser-owned pages and sites you exclude are not accessible.
• Tabs & selected text: reads the text you selected when you open the popup.
• Right-click menu: “Translate with Rememberry” on selected text.
• Local storage: keeps flashcards and settings in the browser.
• Google sign-in: optional, for account features. Pro syncs cards and progress between the extension and app.
• Downloads: used when you export decks or create backups.
• Notifications & reminders: used for study reminders.
• Side panel: adds the optional UI beside the page.
• Embedded page sections: lets Rememberry work in nested parts of a page when they contain text.
The extension does not load remote code.
Where are my flashcards stored?
Without an account, flashcards and settings stay in the extension's local browser storage. With Pro, cards and study progress are stored in your account and sync between the extension and app when a connection is available. You can also import and export decks. For legal detail, see the Privacy Policy.
Do I need to back up my cards?
Yes, cards in the extension are stored in your browser, so removing the extension, clearing browser data, reinstalling the operating system, or replacing your computer can delete them. Create a backup in the extension (Backup → Create) to download all your cards with study progress, and keep that copy somewhere safe, especially before you uninstall, switch browsers, clear browser data, or reinstall the OS.
With Pro, Rememberry also keeps automatic cloud backups of your cards and study progress in your account.
The extension also keeps Local History: automatic browser backups at most once a day when your data changes, keeping the latest ten. Local History is not a substitute for a separate backup, because removing the extension, browser, or operating system can remove it too.
Do you sell my data?
No. We do not sell user data, and we do not use or transfer it for purposes unrelated to Rememberry's purpose: translating while you browse and helping you learn with flashcards. See the Privacy Policy for the full legal terms.
Application
What is the Rememberry app?
Rememberry is a mobile and web app for learning vocabulary from what you read. On your phone, translate words and save them as flashcards, review cards when they are due, and practice by reading, listening or typing.
How do I install it?
On Android, install Rememberry from Google Play. On iOS, open the web app in your browser. You can use it there or tap Share → Add to Home Screen to install it as a standalone app. The web app also works in a browser on Android and desktop.
Can I use it without installing?
Yes. You can use the web app in a browser on mobile or desktop. On Android, we recommend installing Rememberry from Google Play. On iOS, you can add the web app to your Home Screen if you want a standalone app. App reminders require installation, notification permission and a compatible browser environment.
Are there AI features?
Yes, in the Rememberry app. You can generate decks for a topic and language, double-check a translation, ask for help with a card during study, and practice recently reviewed cards after a session.
Rememberry does not include a built-in AI chat. For chat-based features, it opens your own AI chat with the relevant context and instructions ready to send. Rememberry does not add an AI usage fee, though your provider may have its own account, usage or subscription limits. These features require Demo or Pro app access.
What study modes are available?
Text, Listening and Typing are scored spaced-repetition modes. Playback is a separate listening session: hear cards aloud in sequence and control timing and repetitions.
Can I choose the card direction?
Yes. In Standard, the original is shown first, followed by the translation. In Reverse, the translation is shown first, followed by the original. In Alternate, each card’s direction flips on the next repetition based on its review history.
Can I study offline in the app?
Yes. The installed app supports offline study and card management. The separate Android app also translates with downloaded language packs. On supported devices, it can generate cards and decks after you download an on-device model. External AI chat and sync need a connection. With Pro, cards and progress sync when you reconnect.
Can I import or export my decks?
Yes. You can import and export decks in the extension and with Pro in the app. The free Demo does not include app import or export.
Subscription
What are the available plans?
Basic is the free extension plan, with limits on translations, dictionary lookups, cards, decks and daily repetitions.
Ext Lite removes those limits and adds enhanced extension features, priority support and early access.
Pro connects the extension and app with sync and automatic cloud backup. It also includes app access, offline study, Playback and AI features.
The free seven-day Demo previews most Pro features without payment details. It excludes sync, automatic cloud backup, app import and export, priority support and early access. See Pricing & plans for the full comparison.
How do I manage a subscription if I use the Android app?
Sign in to the web app with the same Rememberry account to buy or upgrade a plan. To change or cancel an existing subscription, go to Menu → Account → Manage in the web app.
Account
How do I delete my Rememberry account?
You can delete your Rememberry account yourself in the app; you do not need to contact us first.
Open Rememberry and sign in → Menu → Account → Delete account. Read the confirmation, type DELETE, then confirm. Deletion starts immediately; when it finishes you are signed out. This works in the web app and the installed standalone app.
Before you delete: if you have an active paid subscription (Pro or Ext Lite), cancel it first in the web app via Menu → Account → Manage. Account deletion is blocked while a subscription is active or past due. If your subscription is cancelled but still active until the end of the billing period, you may delete immediately; any remaining paid time is forfeited.
If you cannot access the app or deletion fails, contact us at skyerememberry@gmail.com or via Contact Us. Include the email tied to your Rememberry account.
What we delete: your authentication profile; synced data (flashcards, decks, study progress, account settings, sync/backup data); and related demo-user records.
What we may keep: billing records held by Paddle; subscription and payment audit logs; diagnostic and error logs; and backup copies until they expire. We do not delete Paddle customer records as part of account deletion. Manually exported backups and third-party data under their own policies are not removed.
For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
