Tapping a verb now shows six example sentences beneath the conjugation table, one per core tense (Present, Preterite, Imperfect, Future, Present Subjunctive, Imperative). Each example renders the tense label, Spanish sentence, and English translation in the DeckStudyView style. Generation uses Foundation Models with a @Generable schema that pins each response to the requested tenseId and forces tú/nosotros subjects for imperatives. Results are cached as JSON in the Caches directory keyed by verb id (DictionaryService pattern); cache misses regenerate on demand. Devices without Apple Intelligence see an inline notice instead of the loading state. No network dependency. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Cloze practice — fill-in-the-blank sentences with distractor generation
- Lyrics practice — search, translate, and read Spanish song lyrics
Tracking & sync
- Progress — streaks, daily goals, accuracy stats, achievement badges, study-time tracking per day
- CloudKit sync — review progress, test results, saved stories, conversations, and textbook attempts sync across devices
- Widgets — combined dashboard + word-of-the-day, refreshed daily and on backgrounding
Architecture
- SwiftUI + SwiftData with a dual-store configuration:
- Local store (App Group
group.com.conjuga.app) — reference data: verbs, forms, irregular spans, tense guides, course decks, vocab cards, textbook chapters. Seeded from bundled JSON on first launch. Self-healing re-seeds trigger on version bumps or if rows are missing on disk. - Cloud store (CloudKit
iCloud.com.conjuga.app, private database) — user data: review cards, course reviews, user progress, test results, daily logs, saved songs, stories, conversations, textbook exercise attempts.
- Local store (App Group
- SharedModels Swift Package shared between the app and widget extension. Widget schema must include every local-store entity or SwiftData destructively migrates the shared store.
- Foundation Models for on-device AI generation (
@Generablestructs for typed output). - Vision framework for OCR of textbook pages and vocabulary images.
- Speech framework for recognition and pronunciation scoring.
- Textbook extraction pipeline (
Conjuga/Scripts/textbook/) — XHTML and answer-key parsers, macOS Vision image OCR + PDF page OCR, bounding-box vocab pair extractor, NSSpellChecker-based validator, and language-aware auto-fixer.
Requirements
- iOS 18+ (iOS 26 for Foundation Models features)
- Xcode 16+
Building
Open Conjuga/Conjuga.xcodeproj in Xcode and run on a simulator or device. Reference data seeds automatically on first launch. To regenerate textbook content, run Conjuga/Scripts/textbook/run_pipeline.sh locally — the generated textbook_data.json / textbook_vocab.json are committed so fresh clones build without the pipeline.
