Everything Domovia does
Six things it does best, and plenty more besides — all free, and all working whether or not you have a signal. Here's what's inside.

Czech Lens
Point your phone at any Czech text — a letter, a sign, a menu, a form — and read it back in your language. The language you translate into is yours to choose, English, Spanish, French or Arabic, whatever the app itself is set to.
A letter from the foreign police arrives. Czech Lens reads it to you — in English, Arabic, Spanish or French — before your heart rate catches up.
Every scan happens on your phone; your photos never leave it. Machine translation is a helping hand, not an official one.

02
Learn Czech
Free lessons that start from absolute zero and build at your own pace. When you're ready, work through focused prep for the A2 or B1-B2 exam for permanent residence and citizenship.
The exam that stands between you and staying — met with weeks of quiet practice, not one sleepless night.
03
The Guides library
Plain-language guides for the things nobody explains: your first 30 days, finding a flat, jobs and schools, everyday laws, immigration signposting and getting around. Every guide is checked against official sources and dated, so you always know it's current.
It's day three in a new country. You don't know which office, which form or which queue — the first-30-days guide does.
04
My Events
A month calendar that already knows Czechia: every public holiday is built in, including the movable ones, worked out for any year. Add your own events and deadlines alongside them, all kept on your phone.
Easter Monday sneaks up on everyone. The calendar already knew, so you didn't waste the trip to a locked office.
05
Places & Emergency
Verified places across all 13 regional capitals — Brno covered as deeply as Prague — including Česká pošta branches with Czech POINT, and hospitals. The Emergency screen always works, even with no signal.
A child spikes a fever at 2am in a town you barely know. The nearest hospital is one tap away — no signal required.
06
Works offline, stays fresh
Domovia is built to work with no internet at all — every guide, phrase and place is already on your phone. When you are online, it quietly refreshes its content in the background.
Deep underground with no signal, you still pull up the phrase you need. The metro doesn't care — and neither does Domovia.
More inside Domovia
The rest of what you get — same promises, same price of nothing.
-
Global Search
One box that finds anything — guides, phrases, lessons, places, even settings — offline, diacritic-proof, and nothing you type is ever stored.
-
Public holiday reminders
Auto-set and on by default: 30, 14 and 3 days before every Czech holiday, and on the day. Each one is yours to toggle, all through your phone's own notifications — nothing sent anywhere.
-
Personal onboarding
Thirty optional seconds — your language, your city, your situation — and Home rearranges itself for you. Stored only on your phone.
-
Phrasebook with audio
The everyday phrases you need, with audio, so you can hear them before you have to say them.
-
My Deadlines
Your own private deadlines and reminders — visa dates, appointments, renewals — kept on your device and nowhere else.
-
Four languages, full Arabic RTL
The whole app in English, Spanish, French or Arabic — with Arabic laid out fully right-to-left, not bolted on.
-
Built for everyone
Read-aloud, high contrast, light and dark themes, and text that follows your device's own size settings.
-
Privacy, as a feature
No accounts, no analytics, nothing uploaded. We couldn't spy on you if we wanted to.
Why there's nothing else like it
Not a slogan — just the things that are genuinely hard to match.
- Works with zero internet — not an “offline mode”, genuinely offline from the first launch.
- Every guide is verified against official sources and dated, so you're never acting on stale advice.
- Four languages, including Arabic in full right-to-left.
- 100% free, with no ads — and it stays that way.
- Built by a foreigner who has lived eight years of it in Brno — not a ministry, and not a startup chasing your data.
