About Kanji Pad: Learn by Writing
The fastest way to remember a kanji is to write it. Kanji Pad teaches you all 2,136 jōyō kanji stroke by stroke — you draw each character on screen, and the app checks every stroke you make.
WRITE, DON'T JUST FLIP CARDS
Trace each new kanji with guided strokes, then reproduce it from memory. Kanji Pad scores your strokes as you draw, so muscle memory does the work that flashcards can't.
STRUCTURED THE WAY JAPANESE IS ACTUALLY LEARNED
• JLPT levels from N5 to N1 — study exactly what your next exam requires
• Japanese school grades 1–6 and secondary school
• Your own custom sets — group kanji any way you like
SEE YOUR PROGRESS EVERY DAY
The Today dashboard shows your streak, your JLPT progress level by level, and a 12-week activity map. Pick up right where you left off with one tap.
FIND ANY KANJI — EVEN ONE YOU CAN'T READ
Search by English meaning, by on/kun reading in kana, or simply draw the character and let Kanji Pad recognize it. Perfect for looking up kanji you spot in the wild.
LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT EACH CHARACTER
• On and kun readings with native speech synthesis
• Meanings and Heisig keywords
• Real example words, sorted by how frequently they're used in Japanese
• Swipe between kanji to keep exploring
MAKE IT YOURS
• Choose your session size and repetition pace
• Four authentic Japanese typefaces: kaishō, kyōkasho, minchō and gothic
• Haptic feedback while you write
NO STRINGS ATTACHED
Works fully offline. No account, no sign-up. Your progress stays on your device.
Whether you're starting with your first N5 characters or closing the gap to N1, Kanji Pad turns daily writing practice into a habit that sticks.
