Cyber Kanji

About Cyber Kanji

Learn all the N5-N1 kanji whilst a snarky Japanese AI insults you mercilessly.

Have you noticed that kanji apps are always SUPER complicated? Radicals. Kun'yomi. On'yomi. Paragraphs and paragraphs of text. It's just too much!

If you're just tryna learn some kanjis without over-complicating things, then Cyber Kanji is foOoOor anata!

Note: By default, the app is constantly hurling AI-generated insults at you, spoken by your phone's built-in Japanese text-to-speech voice. It's quite amusing! But if you don't like it, you can always toggle it to "Nice Mode" in the settings panel of the Study screen, and the messages will instead be encouraging :)

Cyber Kanji is 100% free. No in-app purchases. No ads. No nothing. I'm just want to have an app that I made get more than 14 downloads so I can feel like all the nights and weekends I spent learning to code weren't a complete waste of time.

Have fun!
