Who is Oku for?
I recommend Oku to anyone who has been learning their target language for at least a few months. Beginners will have difficulties finding texts to read at their appropriate level
Does Oku have a trial?
Yes, just download it and try out the full version. The only limitation is that you can only save a maximum of two texts.
How much does Oku cost?
It costs $49 during the launch period until 31 dec 2024. Regular price is $79 and there won’t be any future sales. Remember, that all future updates are free.
Is it subscription based?
No, you pay a one time fee. All futures updates are included for free.
Is it any good?
Yes.
Do you offer refunds?
Unfortunately I can not offer refunds for a digital product. Please download it and try it out first, before you purchase a license.

I get a smart screen warning on windows. What to do?
You can ignore that one and allow the program to run. Signing windows applications has a huge fee for indie devs which I can not afford right now.
Does Oku have translations?
No, to offer translations would mean using services such as google translate which have monthly costs. As Oku is not subscription based I can not offer such a service. In addition some translators are better than others for specific languages. I recommend to open a browser with your favorite translator (google, deepl, yandex etc.) next to the oku window. Offline dictionaries are part of the roadmap.
Does Oku have builtin content?
No, you have to bring your own texts, articles, news, blogs or whatever you like to read. I never found content engaging that other people chose. Read what you want to read or would read in your native language as well.
