LexiShift beta

LexiShift

Language practice woven into the pages you already read.

LexiShift pairs a local-first desktop app with browser and community runtime surfaces, so vocabulary replacement, review feedback, and setup stay under your control while the beta matures.

Download Beta App Chrome Extension Guide

Private beta access is live for invited testers. The download page links to the tester gate, versioned app file, checksum, signing status, and release notes.

How it works

Author once, practice wherever the runtime is allowed.

01

Build a local profile

Create profiles, rulesets, and language-pair resources in the desktop app before sending anything into a runtime surface.

02

Read with replacements

The extension applies active rules on web pages and keeps the helper bridge explicit, inspectable, and local to your machine.

03

Review from real context

Feedback and SRS signals come from actual reading sessions, not a detached flashcard-only workflow.

Beta access

Install paths stay separate on purpose.

The desktop app, Chrome extension, and optional community plugin have different distribution rules. This page routes each one without hiding the current beta status.

Beta live

Desktop App

The app download page is the canonical place for the beta gate, installer artifacts, checksums, signing status, and release notes.

Open download page
Extension

Chrome Extension

The normal install path should become a Chrome Web Store beta or unlisted tester link. The repository path remains useful for status and implementation review.

Beta promise

Pretty, but still honest about what is ready.

This site should make LexiShift feel real without implying that every production concern is finished. The beta surface points testers to the exact install, privacy, support, and release pages they need.

Beta Overview Tester expectations, setup boundary, and current limitations. Privacy Summary Local-first behavior and what support reports may include. Support Where to send feedback and what makes a report useful.

Optional surfaces

Community-style integrations stay below the fold.

Primary runtime

Chrome Extension

Best fit for normal web reading once the beta distribution link is available.

Experimental

BetterDiscord Plugin

Optional for users who already run BetterDiscord and are comfortable with unofficial client plugins. It should not be treated as the core install path.
