Kanjily: Learn Japanese & JLPT

Kanjily is a Japanese learning toolkit that works on your phone, with no account and no sign-up. Look up words offline, watch kanji being written stroke by stroke, read real Japanese with furigana above every word, review flashcards and practise for the JLPT. Your progress stays on your device.

LOOK UP
• Offline dictionary with furigana: search by kanji, kana, romaji or English, and in your own language
• Search by handwriting or by kanji parts and stroke count
• Word detail with pitch accent, example sentences and other forms
• Select text in any app and look it up in a quick pop-up
• Bookmarks, history and your own word lists

KANJI AND KANA
• Animated stroke order for thousands of kanji, plus hiragana and katakana charts and courses
• Trace and write-from-memory practice with stroke-by-stroke checking
• Readings, meanings, components, memory hooks, 214 radicals and stroke order rules
• Look-alike kana, katakana loanwords and printable practice sheets

READ JAPANESE
• Point the camera at Japanese text, horizontal or vertical, to see furigana above each word, then tap a word for its meaning
• Paste text or open a screenshot to add furigana, with kana or romaji as you prefer
• Manga reader: tap a speech bubble to read and look up its words
• Graded short stories, line-by-line translation and a saved sentence bank
• The text recognition and translation models are downloaded once, so the first use needs an internet connection

SPEAK AND LISTEN
• Pitch accent patterns, minimal pairs and shadowing
• Dialogues read aloud by your phone's Japanese voice, dictation and listening practice
• Number, time, date and counter drills, and role-play situations
• The speech check shows how well your words match the text. It checks the words recognised, not your accent

REVIEW AND REMEMBER
• Spaced-repetition flashcards with a scheduler that adapts to how well you remember
• Ready-made JLPT word and kanji decks, or build your own
• Hard-card list, statistics, streaks and daily goals
• Widgets and word reminders

PRACTISE FOR JLPT AND JFT-BASIC
• A map from N5 to N1, a level check and a study plan for your exam date
• Practice exams with timed sections, score estimate and a mistake book
• A JFT-Basic style test and Japanese for work (SSW) vocabulary
• The practice exams are original Kanjily material, written for practice. They are not official JLPT or JFT-Basic exams and are not affiliated with the Japan Foundation or JEES

GRAMMAR AND CULTURE
• Grammar notes, particles, a verb conjugator, keigo and counters
• Survival phrases, menu and sign decoders, festivals, idioms and names

80+ TOOLS IN ONE APP
Everything above and more, in one place: games, learning paths, themes and a lock-screen word.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
• The app, word meanings, lessons and example sentences are available in about 70 languages (machine translated, may contain mistakes)

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account. Your learning data, camera images and recognised text stay on your device
• The optional speech check uses your phone's speech recognition, which may be provided by Google
• Optional backup to a file you save yourself, for example to your own Google Drive
