A running list of what's been added, fixed, and polished — kept honest. The newest stuff is on top.
One subscription, four Lexio Pro readers. The plan owner sees a panel inside their account where they can invite up to three more people by email; each member gets their own word bank but shares the bill.
Members are unlocked the moment they accept — no separate billing, no card on file from them. Cancel any time from the owner's account; all four seats wind down together.
The word bank used to live only in the browser you saved a word from. Now it follows you between phone, laptop, and the Chrome extension automatically — every word you save, every device. Pro accounts only; free users keep the local-only behaviour.
One click in the word bank produces a two-column Anki TSV — front side is the word + IPA + context sentence, back side is the contextual definition + the "why this word" note + etymology. Drop it straight into File → Import in Anki and your saved words become a deck.
A new page at /recap that shows every Pro reader their words saved this year, lifetime contextual lookups, account age, and a month-by-month reading rhythm. Built like the year-in-review pages you know from elsewhere, but for vocabulary.
Lexio now ships a web app manifest and a service worker. Add it to your home screen on iPhone/Android and you get a standalone app with launch shortcuts to the glossary and your word bank.
The glossary has crossed 130 contextual literary terms, each with a "how to read it in context" section. The reader's guides now cover 45+ of the most-read books in English (and world) literature — Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, 1984, Frankenstein, The Great Gatsby, Pride and Prejudice, Animal Farm, Beloved, The Catcher in the Rye, The Odyssey, The Iliad, Things Fall Apart, A Christmas Carol, Walden, Beowulf, Crime and Punishment, The Bell Jar, Slaughterhouse-Five, and more. Free to read, no signup required.
The pricing section now lets you tap between Fast (GPT-4o Mini), Balanced (Gemini 2.5 Flash), and Deep (Claude Sonnet 4.5) to see what each mode is good at before you commit. The same three-mode chooser is built into every Pro lookup.
The Lexio Chrome extension launched on the Web Store. Highlight any word on any page — news article, Substack, JSTOR, PDF in the browser, even Wikipedia — choose Define with Lexio, and get the contextual definition inline. Same Pro tier; the extension and the website share the same account.
Pro users can choose which model handles a given lookup — Fast for quick passes, Balanced for everyday literary reading, Deep for the hardest prose. Each mode is tuned to its strength: Fast prioritises speed, Balanced is the recommended default, Deep gives the richest etymology and "why this word" explanations.
Tap the camera icon on the homepage or in the extension, snap a photo of a printed page, and Lexio extracts the text. From there it works the same as pasted text — click any word for a contextual definition.
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic. Paste text in any of them, ask for the definition in any other — the contextual reading is preserved across translations.
