About Proper Strokes
Forgotten how to write characters after years of typing? Proper Strokes pairs deliberate handwriting practice with spaced reviews to keep your Traditional Chinese muscle memory alive. Write one stroke at a time—quick cursive swipes won’t register—so every session reinforces the real form. Built from a stroke-level input engine, Proper Strokes rewards careful writing with instant guidance and a review schedule that respects your time. You choose the phrases, the app handles the review timing, and the progress bar only fills when each stroke lands in place. How Proper Strokes supports your practice: - Stroke-by-stroke feedback that reveals form issues before you move on. - Personal phrase library with optional Zhuyin hints so you practice the words that matter. - Spaced review planner that surfaces due characters right when you need them. - Explore Mode drawn from a 3,000-character library for guided discovery beyond your list. - Privacy-first design: no accounts, no ads. No internet required—your handwriting data stays on your device. Write with Apple Pencil, a stylus, or your finger—whatever helps you focus on each stroke.
