Cultivate your Japanese vocabulary and practice using many quizzes.

This app is an offline Japanese vocabulary study notebook/companion app you can use to create a collection of your Japanese vocabulary at your own pace during your studies. The app also has many quizzes that use spaced repetition to improve your retention. Learners of any level can use it.

Unlike other apps, this app encourages you to actively add new vocabulary to your collection as you learn it from reading or listening to Japanese. It also allows you to get a better understanding of the vocabulary you learn through adding related kanji, words and phrases. The more vocabulary you collect, the more useful it will be for you and the better your vocabulary will become.

How to use it

1. Set your weekly new vocabulary targets.

2. When you find a new phrase, kanji or sentence, add it to the app. Use a good dictionary like Takoboto to make sure you add the correct meanings and readings.

The app will auto extract Kanji and Words for you.

3. Review and take quizzes to refresh your memory and improve retention. The app uses spaced repetition and keeps track of how accurate your memory is for each word, kanji or phrase and makes you practice more on troublesome vocabulary.

🚧 Disclaimer:: The Furigana assistant (auto-furigana generation feature) is there to just reduce effort of entering new phrases. Although it is highly accurate, always check the Furigana preview before saving, or just turn the feature off.
