About KanjiCards: Japanese with AI
Stop forgetting kanji. KanjiCards anchors every Japanese character to a vivid mnemonic in your own language — then drills exactly the parts you keep missing. HOW IT WORKS Every kanji has four attributes — meaning, onyomi, kunyomi, and writing. KanjiCards tracks each one separately. You build a mnemonic association for the character (or let AI draft one), and the app trains the attributes you keep getting wrong, not the ones you've already nailed. MNEMONIC ANCHORS Build a short story for each kanji where the readings hide inside real words in your native language and the components become objects in a scene. The story is the anchor — once it's wired in, recall is automatic. Write your own or have AI generate one to start from. The method draws on three findings from memory research: • Keyword Mnemonic (Atkinson, 1975) — foreign sounds embedded in familiar words • Bizarreness Effect (McDaniel & Einstein, 1986) — strange imagery resists forgetting • Incongruity Resolution — absurdity sticks when it's wired into the story's logic TARGETED TRAINING The algorithm tracks which of the four attributes you're weakest on per kanji. Reviews surface those gaps first. No manual flagging, no deck micromanagement — the system already knows where you slip. Daily streaks and quests keep the habit alive. AI LESSONS Pick any set of kanji and generate a custom lesson: • Words containing those characters, on a topic you choose • Example sentences with translations • Three difficulty levels (Low, Mid, Pro) • Grammar topics you can require in the examples • One tap to generate more sentences PHOTO LESSONS Photograph a textbook page. The app extracts the kanji, fills in readings and meanings, and assembles a lesson around them. Works with print and scans. DICTIONARIES • Full JLPT N5–N1 — over 2,000 characters • Custom dictionaries: build your own collections, organize them into sections, populate with any kanji you choose SIX INTERFACE LANGUAGES English, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish. Mnemonics adapt to your chosen language so the wordplay works in the tongue you actually think in. SIGN IN Email and password, Apple ID, or Google. SUBSCRIPTION • Base — free: core training, JLPT dictionaries, and a taste of AI mnemonics • Pro — AI mnemonics, AI lessons, 10 photo lessons per month • Max — unlimited AI mnemonics and lessons, 100 photo lessons per month, unlimited custom dictionaries Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

What’s new
Version 2.0.0 · Updated September 17, 2026
Writing lessons, redesigned. • Lessons are now homework from a tutor: the kanji you are learning, five sentences to write by hand, and a photo check when you are done. The camera shows an outline of the page you should have. • Pick any kanji from the whole dictionary for a lesson, or add five more sentences to one you have. • Progress rings on every kanji of your next lesson, growing as you learn. • Sentences hide their answer behind a tap, with readings shown over the kanji the way manga does. • A new tab bar: Training, Lessons and Profile. • Your earlier lessons are kept and work the new way.
