What's New in Kern
0.5.7
November 5, 2026
Kern now speaks Japanese. The whole app is in Japanese — the day count, the milestone words, the notifications that arrive on day 7 and day 90 — and so is its App Store page. Day counts follow Japanese counting, not English's. Nothing about your count changes.
