OFFLINE FIRST, SYNCED WHEN AVAILABLE

All study content is included with the app, so practice works without an internet connection. Progress and study preferences are stored locally and can sync privately through iCloud across your iPhone and iPad.

COMPLETE KANJI, ONE-TIME UNLOCK

An optional one-time purchase unlocks all 2,136 Jōyō kanji across the five community-estimated JLPT groups from N5 through N1. There is no subscription. A separate optional Tip Jar supports the app but is never required to unlock features.

Kanji meanings and readings are derived from KANJIDIC2. JLPT level assignments are community-based estimates; the JLPT does not publish official vocabulary or kanji lists for the current N1–N5 tests.
