## What is Japanese Anki Dictionary?

Shirabe combines a Japanese dictionary with spaced repetition. Think a dictionary crossed with Anki on steroids. 

After searching for a word, you can request a notification. You will then receive a notification to remind you of the word (both Japanese and English meanings) periodically. By default, in a few hours, the next day, and then again a few days later. 

Unlike other flashcard apps, where you need make lists and set aside to study them, Shirabe gives you a simple notification, so you can remember new vocabulary without breaking your normal routine.

SPACED REPETITION

How often do you look up a new word you read in a book, or hear it on your favorite drama, only to forget it hours later? With Shirabe's optimized spaced repetition reminders, you'll see the word again in a few hours, tomorrow, or in a week's time, to ensure it sticks.

CONSTANT UPDATES

Shirabe is constantly updated and improved. A human will personally reply to any feature request, bug report, or question - just reach out at contact@shirabe.app.

RESPECTS YOU AND YOUR PRIVACY

Shirabe has no in app purchases, no tracking, no advertising, and no bloat. It's as simple as it gets.
