Underproofed. Dense without being substantial.
Summary
Glosso is a productivity app that blocks access to social media apps (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit) until users complete a short language-learning session. Founded by Alex, the app addresses the common problem of mindless scrolling by turning addictive social media apps into triggers for productive language practice. It supports 9 languages and requires users to match words for a few minutes before unlocking their social feeds.
