From kana to JLPT N1

Tools for reading, writing, listening, speaking and exam practice, built around one offline dictionary.

字

Offline dictionary

A large dictionary based on JMdict with furigana, pitch accent and common-word marks. Search by kanji, kana, romaji or English and in your own language, or draw a kanji with your finger.

筆

Kanji & stroke order

Animated stroke order from KanjiVG, readings, meanings, components, memory hooks and courses. Trace kanji and write them from memory with stroke-by-stroke feedback.

読

Camera reader

Point the camera at Japanese text (horizontal or vertical), see furigana over the kanji and tap a word to look it up. A manga reader works the same way, bubble by bubble.

音

Pitch accent & speaking

See pitch patterns, train with minimal pairs, shadowing, dialogues, dictation, number drills and listening practice, using your device's text-to-speech.

札

Spaced-repetition cards

Review words and kanji with the FSRS scheduler that runs on your phone, with JLPT lists and your own cards.

試

JLPT & JFT-Basic practice

Level-based study, placement tests and mock exams for N5 to N1 and a JFT-Basic style test. Unofficial practice material with estimated scores, not real exam results.

法

Grammar, keigo & counters

Original grammar notes, a verb conjugator, particles, keigo, counters and onomatopoeia.

旅

Travel & work Japanese

Survival phrases, menu and sign decoders, festivals, workplace phrases and Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) vocabulary.

Honest status: translations of the interface, meanings and lessons are machine translated and may contain mistakes; they are labelled in the app. Kanjily is in development and some tools may still change before release.

Private by design

Your cards, history, progress, notes and scans stay in a database on your phone. We offer no account and run no server for your learning data.

On-device learning

Text from the camera is recognised on your device with Google ML Kit and is not uploaded by us.

Microphone only when you record

Audio is used only in speaking tools when you tap record. See the Privacy Policy for the one speech-recognition exception.

Open data, credited

The dictionary comes from open projects. See Data & licences for sources and a download of our converted dictionary.
