About katayomi - Master Katakana
"ソフトウェア… so-fu-to… soft? What?" Katakana is the part that keeps tripping you up. You learned hiragana, but the moment メニュー, キャンセル, or サービス shows up, your eyes freeze. Stop forcing yourself to memorize. Katayomi drops one katakana word into your day via notification and widget, and asks just one thing: "Can you read it right away?" - Reading habits built by your subconscious Vocabulary apps feel like a chore, but you check your home screen and notifications dozens of times a day. Katayomi blends into daily life, training that instant "I can just read it" feeling. - Key Features Daily Quiz — A short, low-pressure quiz to check your reading speed. Daily Notifications — Today's katakana word arrives as a push at your set time. Just checking the notification counts as studying. Home Screen Widget — Meet a katakana word right on your home screen without opening the app. Tap to reveal how it's read. (Tint mode supported) Review only what tripped you — Only the words you just couldn't read come back. What you already know doesn't pile up, so repetition stays light. If you're intermediate in Japanese but katakana is the one thing that stays slow, learn one word a day with Katayomi.
