The free English content path is now complete
FlashBoss is a progressive vocabulary builder with spaced repetition flashcards and gamified boss fights as the mastery testing and card-purging mechanism. Every foreign language pack targets the same destination: the high-frequency vocabulary that carries around 90% of real text, roughly 3,000 words per language. The English format is described below:
English Advance — A2 / 6th Grade / Core Skills
500 cards. The base.
Filling out forms. Reading official letters and understanding what they're asking of you. Writing letters and emails without issues. A series of short review lessons, with a focus on the structural rules of writing — capitalization, paragraphs, basic structure.
Don't allow language skills to be a factor in your success.
English Adept — B2 / 8th Grade / Advanced Skills
1,000 cards. The superstructure.
Places you for university entry. Critical thinking vocabulary. Synonyms and antonyms for the words you've already learned. More advanced grammar shown in actual use. Vocabulary for precision and clear articulation of cognition, emotion and intention.

Bug fixes
Previously Flagged: Mac Launch bug. Status: Fixed
Mac was launching in the background and you had to find the terminal and click on it. Amateur hour is over. If you have any issues, please contact me at [email protected]
New finds and fixes:
The Vault: the backup profile was losing master information on save. If you have any issues with saving or backing up, or restoring profiles, please contact me.
The big one, and I'm sorry. The streak buffer from drive wasn't working in the case where you completed a few cards but fewer than your daily streak target. More than zero, less than streak. I cost myself with this bug. I was reviewing German myself and lost a substantial streak.
Remaining Known Bugs:
The vault is not cloud saving between machines. If you back up a profile on one machine, it will be missing on your other machine. I am actively working on a solution.
Bug Bounties for Unknown Bugs:
I am actively searching for bugs at the moment. If you find something that causes an issue or a crash on your machine, please contact me at [email protected]
Any request from a unique email may request one free unit of DLC of their choice for mentioning a bug, a preference, a suggestion, or asking nicely (until the end of the month). I'm happy to support engagement.
Use Caching for Instant Audio
FlashBoss produces text-to-speech audio locally on your machine. If this causes a lag before the audio is generated for you, select Option 2 from the help menu to preload the audio per tier for instant playback.
Steam Summer Sale: June 25 – July 9
All FlashBoss content 20% off for the full two weeks
A text-to-speech generation window is being added as a free included update in time for the sale — drop your own text into the text field and hear it spoken with the same offline voice the packs already use.
Screen Resolution Issues
I had one user, and reviewer who was never able to see the screen correctly. I find this puzzling. I'm actively searching for any remaining screen resolution issues— if you're seeing layout issues, please let me know, and also tell me your operating system. Screenshots would be extremely valuable. I will give you more DLC if you really help me here.
Possibly unrelated: FlashBoss requires Windows Terminal for windows. It comes installed on Windows 11 but older windows OS may need to download it free from the Microsoft store.
Still to come - ASAP
Latin Roots and Italian Pareto 2 DLC are still awaiting release. Please have a little more patience if you are waiting on them from my last announcement. Full word lists for each pack will be provided on the website after an update. This work is underway now.
