## What is KanaFlip?

KanaFlip is the focused way to memorize all 46 hiragana characters in your first two weeks of Japanese - no streak guilt, no broader curriculum, no ads.

Flip cards show the character, romaji, native audio, AND two beginner-friendly example words for every kana (あ to あめ "rain", あさ "morning"). Swipe left or right to flow through the deck like a physical stack of flashcards.

In Swipe Quiz, the direction is unmistakable: large sticky rails (NOPE on the left, MATCH on the right) sit on both sides of the card, and the card itself tints red or green as you drag. No more "wait, which way meant correct?"

Three simple tabs keep you oriented: Learn (your levels), Quiz (practice any time), and Progress (stars, streak, and what to do next). You learn up to 5 new characters a day so it never feels overwhelming - and quizzing or reviewing what you already know is always unlimited.

KEY FEATURES

- Learn / Quiz / Progress tabs so you always know what to do next.
- Flashcard learning: tap to flip, see romaji + example words. Swipe left or right to move between cards.
- Swipe quiz: hear the pronunciation, swipe right if the character matches, left if it doesn't. Sticky side rails and a tinting card make direction crystal clear. Never limited.
- Gentle daily pacing: 5 new characters a day, with a friendly countdown to the next batch.
- 10 progressive levels: row by row (a-row, ka-row, sa-row...) with a comprehensive review.
- Progressive unlock: complete a level to reveal the next. No overwhelm.
- Audio pronunciation for every character.
- Daily reminder (optional, off by default).

100% FREE

Zero ads. Zero tracking. Zero accounts. 100% free. Every feature above is unlocked from day 1 - no paywall, no subscription, no "Pro" upsell. All your progress stays on your device.

WHO IT'S FOR

- Day-1 Japanese learners who decided yesterday they want to read kana
- Anime / manga fans who want to read titles and signs
- Travelers heading to Japan
- JLPT N5 candidates doing final kana review

We're not trying to teach you grammar. We're not trying to sell you a year of curriculum. We just want you reading kana in two weeks - and then leaving the app behind.
