What's inside

Everything to practice — nothing to log into.

Indie-scale and honest: it does a few things well, entirely on your device.

Flashcards

Spaced word cards with character, pinyin/kana and meaning — flip, grade, repeat.

Frequency decks

Sentence decks ordered by how common the words actually are, so you learn what you'll really use first.

Offline pronunciation

Thousands of pre-rendered voice clips mean you hear every word and sentence with no connection and no live API.

Mandarin & Japanese

Four courses today — zh↔en and ja↔en — switchable per account, with more on the way.

Tutor & translator

A built-in offline tutor and an EN→ZH translator — no live LLM calls, so it works on a plane.

Installable PWA

Add it to your home screen or dock; it runs fully offline, with a 44-theme look to make it yours.

Practice anywhere — even offline.

No account needed to start. Open it and learn.
