About this app

Master hiragana and katakana in weeks — the right way, with your own handwriting.

The only kana app that makes you write every character and scores your handwriting in real time. Not multiple choice. Not drag-and-drop. Actual writing.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT:

  • Handwriting canvas scores every stroke — build real muscle memory
  • All 208 kana: hiragana & katakana, dakuon, handakuon and combos
  • Hear the pronunciation of every character
  • 3 quiz modes: kana→romaji, romaji→kana, audio→kana
  • Listening drills — hear it, then write it from memory

STAY CONSISTENT:

  • Daily Challenge — 8 questions picked from your weakest kana
  • Spaced repetition (SM-2) schedules each character's review
  • Streak counter & achievement badges keep you coming back
  • Weekly charts show practice time & accuracy trends

DESIGNED FOR REAL LEARNING:

  • Step-by-step lessons from easy to hard
  • Stroke-order animations for every kana
  • Dark mode for late-night sessions
  • Available in 10 languages

Watching anime, planning for Tokyo, or starting JLPT N5 — this is the fastest path from zero to reading Japanese.
