## What is Daily Mandarin?

Learn Chinese without opening an app.

Daily Mandarin puts one Chinese character on your home screen and lock screen every day. You glance at your phone, you see it, and it sticks — no session to start, nothing to open.

WHY IT WORKS

Spaced repetition, not random flashcards. Every character you learn is scheduled with the SM-2 algorithm, so the ones you're about to forget come back first and the ones you know well fade into the background.

Ordered by HSK level. New characters arrive in HSK order, 1 through 6, so you build on what you already know instead of jumping around.

Characters in context. Every one comes with pinyin, an English meaning, and an example sentence showing how it's actually used.

THE WIDGET

• Home screen and lock screen widgets in several sizes
• Larger sizes show an example sentence
• Tap to open that character in the app
• Pick the time of day your widget refreshes

INSIDE THE APP

• Today — your HSK progress, the characters queued for today, and a one-tap review
• Review — swipe through today's characters, mark what you've learned, flag what needs another look
• Your Words — search everything you've learned by character, meaning, or pinyin, with or without tone marks
• Stats — your day streak, a calendar of every day you reviewed, and progress through your current HSK level

AT YOUR PACE

Tell us your HSK level, which characters you already know, and how many new ones you want each day — up to 8. Already know a character? Mark it learned and move on.

Simplified or traditional, your choice.

An optional daily reminder, at a time you choose, nudges you if you haven't reviewed yet.
