Audio learning for the road

Your car just became a private classroom.

Qamishlo generates micro-courses you listen to hands-free — driving, walking, or on transit. Interrupt anytime, ask out loud, get a contextual answer, then fade back into the lesson.

01 — The call

It rings when you start moving.

Qamishlo notices a commute — car Bluetooth, walking, transit — and places a native incoming call. Answer from the lock screen or the steering wheel. Background music ducks. Lesson one starts automatically.

  • CallKit on iOS, ConnectionService on Android
  • Detects in-vehicle and on-foot activity
  • Mutes other media the moment you answer

02 — The interruption

Talk back to the lesson.

A large on-screen control — or a hardware trigger — pauses playback, opens a live voice session, and answers with the last minute of transcript plus your profile in context. Then the course resumes with a soft fade-in.

History of Rome

“…by the late Republic, a handful of generals held armies loyal to them, not to the Senate. That shift is the hinge between a civic constitution and personal power.”

Try the interrupt — no signup required

03 — How a course is born

From curiosity to lesson one, then the rest in the background.

  1. 01

    Pick a library hit — or name a topic

    Browse History, Literature, Computer Science, Science, or Business. Search inside a category. Or set a custom subject, depth, commute length, English level, and voice.

  2. 02

    Explain three terms, in your words

    No yes/no quiz. You briefly explain three foundational ideas. A fast grader sets an accurate knowledge baseline so the course meets you where you actually are.

  3. 03

    Listen to lesson one. We prepare two.

    The syllabus is ready immediately. Only lesson one is voiced up front. While you listen, lesson two generates quietly — never a full-course wait before you start.

  4. 04

    No signal? We keep the question

    Interrupt offline and Qamishlo says it will save your question, records locally, and queues the answer for the next time you’re back online.

04 — The library

Start from what’s already loved — or go custom.

Cached courses are sorted by popularity inside a single layer of categories. Choose one and skip generation entirely. Want something that isn’t there? We’ll build it around your commute.

05 — Built native

Deep OS access. Not a wrapper.

Qamishlo is Swift on iOS and Kotlin on Android — because lessons have to survive background execution, car audio, media sessions, and real incoming-call UI. That is not a job for a cross-platform compromise.

Early access

Be first in the passenger seat.

We’re opening Qamishlo to a small group of commuters. Leave your email and we’ll send a TestFlight / Play invite when your lane is ready.

No spam. Just a seat when it’s your turn.
