Study smarter, not harder
Wait, is it おばさん or おばあさん? The secret weapon is how this app tags every word with its kana and mora count. Think about how English speakers instinctively know "rhythm" has 6 letters and 2 syllables, and "cat" has 3 letters and 1 syllable - those numbers become a memory hook. The same works for Japanese. When you can picture a word's length alongside its meaning, it sticks. It's like spelling out Japanese words the way your brain already thinks in English.
Designed to keep you focused
The interface is clean and distraction-free. No clutter, no confusing menus. Open the app, pick your level, and start studying. Every word shows kana, romaji, and English meaning at a glance. Star the ones you want to revisit.
Sort your way
Everyone learns differently, so you can arrange your vocabulary list however it makes sense to you:
Alphabetical by romaji
Gojūon order by kana
Fewest kana first
Lowest mora count first
Colour that helps you remember
Each word gets colour-coded based on its kana or mora count. Over time, those colours become visual cues. You'll start associating purple with 3-kana words, or red with 5-mora words, and so on. It sounds simple, but it works. Your brain loves patterns.
Built for real life
Need a quick review on the train? Add the home or lock screen widget and see a random word whenever you glance at your phone. Prefer studying at night? Dark mode has you covered. Rotate your phone and the app switches to a split view — list on one side, details on the other. More words, more context, all at once.
Example sentences included
Every word comes with a real Japanese sentence and its English translation, so you see how it's actually used. Context makes memory stronger.
