## What is Kana Widget?

Kana Widget shows a Japanese character — hiragana or katakana — and its sound, right on your home screen. You pick them up passively, just by glancing at your phone.

• The kana front and center, with its romaji — nothing extra.
• It changes through the day — pick your pace: every hour, every 3 hours, or once a day.
• Tap the arrow to move to the next kana whenever you want.
• Choose your syllabary: hiragana, katakana, or both.
• All 215 kana: the 46 basics of each syllabary, plus dakuten ゛, handakuten ゜ and combinations.
• An interactive quiz widget: guess the kana's sound without even opening the app.
• Premium design, light and dark, that adapts automatically to your iPhone.

Start for free with the first few kana of each syllabary, then unlock all 215 kana — 107 hiragana and 108 katakana, dakuten ゛, handakuten ゜ and combinations included — with Kana Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription).

Learning kana has never been this easy: let them come to you.

• Spoken pronunciation: hear every kana, recorded by a native Japanese voice.
• Finger tracing: practice writing each kana in the correct stroke order.
• "Hide the answer" widget mode: the kana shows, its sound stays hidden until you reveal it — active recall right from the home screen.
