I’ve been working on BilingualBulletin, an iOS app for learning a language from real news, books and podcasts. The coolest thing about the app is that nearly everything runs on the phone, and there’s no account. I’m using Apple’s on-device translation, you can ask questions to Apple’s foundation models, and audio and video is even transcribed locally.

It supports 19 languages, and comes with a lot of built-in RSS news and podcasts feeds, though power users can add their own. You can play audio and follow along word by word.

I’m looking for more beta testers at the moment. You can sign up at https://BilingualBulletin.com. It requires iOS 26.

I’m curious if anyone else has been building on the Apple Foundation Models or other onboard AI frameworks? They’re surprisingly powerful, but with weird limitations sometimes.
