Manalect

Manalect lets learners find a word or sentence they need, or import an article, web page, or text, and then practise that material in real sentences through writing, speaking, listening, and comprehension. Words are scheduled for review just before they are likely to be forgotten, and a 'forest' feature visualises learned words as trees that need watering when reviews are due. The page states it is free to start, with a free plan offering 60 cards a day, 1 import a week, and 3 AI chats a day, and a Premium plan with no daily card limit and more imports. No account is required, though an account lets you keep words when switching devices. The site supports learning Swedish, English, German, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Polish, and Italian in any pair, and mentions learning from Turkish. Browser access is available now, while iPhone and Android apps are described as on the way, with an Android closed test on Google Play and a waitlist mentioned.
