Love Duolingo? Tomo is Duolingo for everything else.
Duolingo turned learning a language into a game 100 million people play every day. Tomo does the same thing for any topic you can type. Roman history, octopuses, quantum physics, sourdough. Five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For everyone who ever wished Duolingo covered more than Spanish.
Free forever · No credit card · iPhone & Android
What Duolingo gets right
The streak, the little owl, the five-minute lesson. They cracked the thing every other learning app got wrong: getting you to come back tomorrow.
Over 100 million people open it every day. That is not luck. That is a game loop tuned to perfection.
Beyond languages, Duolingo now has math, music, and chess. Each one is hand built and polished, which is exactly why there are only a few of them.
If you are learning a language, or one of the handful of subjects Duolingo has built, keep using it. Genuinely. Tomo is for the hundred other things you are curious about.
Where Tomo fits instead
Type any topic. Tomo builds a full course on it in about two minutes, including the subjects no one has hand built yet.
Levels, streaks, hearts, XP. The exact loop that made Duolingo unputdownable, now pointed at whatever lights you up.
You answer a question, Tomo tells you what happened, and it lands. You will remember it next week.
Pick your teaching style and how deep you want to go. The course bends to you.

Questions people actually ask
Is Tomo a Duolingo alternative?
For anything beyond Duolingo's handful of subjects, yes. For languages, Duolingo is excellent and we'd point you right back to it. For Roman history, stoicism, or marine biology, that's exactly what Tomo is for.
Is Tomo just Duolingo with AI?
Same loop you love, far bigger range. Duolingo hand builds each subject. Tomo uses AI to build a structured course on anything you type, then turns it into the same kind of game you play five minutes a day. The loop is the part you love. We just took the lock off the topic.
Does Duolingo have courses on other subjects?
A few now: languages, plus math, music, and chess. If you want history, philosophy, finance, or something niche, there isn't a Duolingo course for it. There's a Tomo one, or there will be about two minutes after you ask.
Can I use both Duolingo and Tomo?
Please do. Keep your Spanish streak going on Duolingo. Build a streak on octopuses, or money, or anything else with Tomo. They're built to live on the same home screen.
Is Tomo free?
Yes. There's a free plan with no credit card and no waitlist, and it doesn't expire. A paid plan exists if you want more, but you never have to.
You already love the daily game. Now point it at anything.
Keep Duolingo for your languages. Get Tomo for everything else you've been meaning to learn.
