What’s inside

Everything you need to master kanji

One app for reading, writing, and remembering, wrapped in a Japanese dojo you’ll want to come back to.

道

The Dojo

Your daily hub for lessons, review, and challenges in one place, tuned to what you should practice next.

書

Draw every stroke

Watch real stroke-order animations, then draw each kanji yourself. Feedback is instant and always explained, with no black-box AI and no invisible fails.

辞

Kanji dictionary & search

Look up any kanji by meaning, reading, or romaji, with vocabulary, example words, and etymology.

戦

Battle mode

Turn review into a duel. Break your opponent’s stance with every correct answer, chain combos, and earn your grade.

札

Karuta

A solo, time-attack card game: race the clock to grab the kanji the reader calls before it slips away.

習

Smart review

Spaced repetition that adapts to you, with a Smart Deck of everything due plus your own custom study decks.

集

Focus mode

Pomodoro-style focused study with an ambient scene and a live countdown, even in the iOS Dynamic Island.

星

XP, streaks & rank

Earn XP from daily quests, keep your streak alive, and climb the eight-tier Warrior’s Path as you master kanji from JLPT-like levels.

蔵

Offline & private

Every feature works offline and your progress stays on your device. Optional cloud backup is yours to switch on.

The Sekana way

Built to be honest, private, and real

明

No invisible fails

Every drawing check tells you exactly what to fix. Scoring is deterministic and transparent, never a mysterious “wrong.”

護

Offline-first & private

The whole app runs without a connection, and your data lives on your device. Cloud backup and diagnostics are strictly opt-in.

実

Real kanji, real data

Stroke order, readings, meanings, and example vocabulary come from established, openly-licensed Japanese datasets.
