Updates
Changelog
Every release brings Parolina closer to being the best vocabulary companion for your browser.
- added**Choose your background animation.** Give the dashboard and Settings a calm animated backdrop — pick from **Cosmos, Aurora, Nebula, Gradient, Bubbles, Waves, Fireflies**, or turn it **Off**. Each style adapts to your current theme's colours, respects your system "reduce motion" setting, and your choice **syncs across your devices and the Parolina web app**. Set it in **Settings → Theme** (and on the web app under **Settings → Appearance**).
- improvedMore rotating tips in the popup, plus animation, layout, and reliability polish throughout.
2026-07-21
- added**Free cloud sync is here.** Create a free account (email code or Google) and your vocabulary, dictionaries, and progress sync across your devices and browsers. Cloud sync is **free for everyone** — your data stays local-first, and syncing is entirely opt-in.
- added**Study anywhere with the Parolina web app** ([app.parolina.app](https://app.parolina.app)). A full companion app to add, edit, and review words, manage dictionaries, and see your analytics — on your phone or any browser, **no extension needed**. Reviews you do there count and sync back.
- added**Parolina Pro.** An optional upgrade (**€3.99/month** or **€29.99/year**) that unlocks unlimited vocabulary and dictionaries plus power tools: Hard Words Workout, advanced analytics, Anki/Quizlet export, and multiple reminder schedules. Cloud sync and every practice mode stay free.
2026-07-20
- added**Parolina in your language.** The entire interface is now translated into **six languages** — English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Russian — with a native-quality correction pass.
- improvedA redesigned in-page experience: the save and instant-translate popups now appear neatly anchored in a self-contained UI that never clashes with the page, with a new **Parolina** theme to match the web app.
2026-07-11
- addedTest yourself right inside the popup. A new **Quick test** lets you review your due words in a tap or two — **multiple choice, flashcards, typing, reverse, cloze (fill the blank), word reveal, or a Mixed mode** — without opening a full page. Every answer counts toward your streak, XP, and review schedule, and it's saved instantly, so closing the popup mid-session never loses progress.
- added**Website themes** that match parolina.app — a warm light and a warm dark — alongside the classic look, so you can pick the palette you like best. Choose a palette and a light/dark/auto mode in Settings.
- addedEdit more of your preferences straight from the popup — default languages, daily goals, and review options — plus a one-tap link to the **Parolina web app** (app.parolina.app) to study on any device.
- improvedA friendlier, more reliable popup: smoother animations, a 3D flashcard flip, an on-screen keyboard for word reveal, and a gentle confetti when you finish a session.
2026-07-08
- improvedAnonymous, privacy-first usage analytics (with an off-switch in settings) so we can focus on the features that help most — never your words, translations, or personal data.
- improvedOngoing reliability and performance polish across saving, review, and the popup.
- otherOptional cloud sync to back up your vocabulary and pick it up on another device or browser. It will be strictly opt-in and private — your words stay on your device until you choose to sign in and sync.
