About
Learn Japanese without opening an app — one character at a time, right on your home screen.
Kanji Widget puts hiragana, katakana, or a JLPT kanji character directly on your iOS home screen. Every time you unlock your phone, you see one character with its reading and meaning — a free repetition, dozens of times a day, with zero extra effort.
FEATURES
• 1,600+ characters: hiragana, katakana, and JLPT kanji N5 through N1
• 7 study sets, downloaded independently — start with kana or jump to the level you're studying
• Onyomi, kunyomi, and English meanings for every kanji
• Common example words with readings for context
• Tap the widget to move to the next or previous character
• Small and medium widget sizes
• Customize the widget's theme (system, light, or dark), background opacity, and text size, with a live preview as you adjust
WHY A WIDGET
Apps you have to open compete with everything else on your phone. A widget doesn't — it's already there. Kanji Widget turns the moments you check your phone into study moments, without a streak to keep or a lesson to finish.
PRIVACY
No account required. No tracking. Your progress stays on your device. Once a study set is downloaded, the widget works completely offline.
