## What is Moji?

You check your phone dozens of times a day. What if every glance taught you a kanji?

Moji puts Japanese characters on your Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets—complete with readings, romaji, English meanings, and JLPT levels—rotating on a schedule you control. No long lessons. No guilt about skipping study time. Just learn every time you naturally check your phone.

Built for real life, not textbook life.

Whether you're starting from zero, preparing for the JLPT (N5–N1), or working toward reading your favorite manga and Japanese content, Moji fits learning into the moments you already have.

## HOW IT WORKS

1. Add the Moji widget to your Lock Screen or Home Screen.
2. Choose your level (JLPT N5 through N1) and refresh schedule.
3. A new kanji automatically appears with its readings and meaning.
4. Open the app anytime for a focused flashcard review.
5. Spaced repetition (SM-2) prioritizes review cards before introducing new ones.

Learn passively at a glance. Study actively whenever you have a few minutes.

## WHAT'S ON EVERY CARD

• Kanji in beautiful Noto Serif JP typography
• On'yomi and kun'yomi readings (katakana and hiragana)
• Romaji and English meanings
• JLPT level (N5–N1)
• Example vocabulary showing real-world usage
• Radicals and mnemonics to improve retention
• Stroke-order animations (Pro)
• Native audio pronunciation (Pro)

## WIDGETS THAT HELP YOU LEARN

• Lock Screen widgets for every phone unlock
• Home Screen widgets in multiple sizes
• Refresh every 1, 3, 6, or 24 hours
• Smart review queue that prioritizes due cards over new material

Your widget always shows what you're most ready to learn—not random vocabulary.

## REVIEW WHEN YOU'RE READY

Open the app for focused study with:

• Again / Hard / Good / Easy review options using the proven SM-2 spaced repetition system
• Progress tracking, streaks, and mastered kanji statistics
• Daily reminders to help you stay consistent

## WHO MOJI IS FOR

• Complete beginners learning Japanese
• JLPT learners (N5 through N1)
• Anime and manga fans who want to read Japanese
• Heritage learners reconnecting with the language
• Busy learners who don't have time for long study sessions

## WHY MOJI IS DIFFERENT

Most language apps demand your full attention. Moji teaches in the background, using the screen you already check every day. It's not a replacement for dedicated study—it's the habit that makes consistent learning effortless.

Download Moji, add the widget, and start learning Japanese one glance at a time.

Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you through the Settings screen in the app.

### 3/5 — App sieht prinzipiell gut aus

*2026-08-10*

Allerdings fehlt mir eine Möglichkeit mich mit der App vertraut zu machen. Daher gerne eine kostenlose Variante einbauen um erstmal zu schauen ob die Abo Variante etwas taugt. Richtig gut wäre natürlich auch eine deutsche Variante

### 1/5 — Stroke order screen moves

*2026-08-05*

When trying to draw the kanji the screens moves it super annoying you have to freeze the screen
Its horrible

### 2/5 — Costs $70+ ‼️‼️🥀

*2026-08-02*

I came from their TikTok, and it looked so cute and everything until I got to the ‘we love you- but only your money!!’ You have to pay 70$ to even start!!!!!!! That’s stupid. So much potential in the app but all wasted because it’s so much money.

### 1/5 — Payant

*2026-08-01*

Appli avec de bonnes idées, et une bonne UI. Mais payante à peine après avoir commencé.

### 1/5 — Payed app

*2026-07-31*

Okay, you can download it for free. But literally 2 minutes after opening the app it asks you to pay and YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT PAYING. It’s not even like some things are premium and you need to pay for those. Nope. you can’t progress in the app if you don’t pay. This should be marketed as a paid app and I haaaate app that are “free” but not at all.

### 1/5 — No Free Trial, Overpriced Subscription

*2026-07-28*

Deutsch:

Es ergibt keinen Sinn, eine App ständig zu bewerben, wenn man sie nicht einmal ausprobieren kann, ohne sofort ein Abonnement abschließen zu müssen. Außerdem sind die Preise für eine App wie diese völlig überzogen.

English:

It doesn’t make sense to constantly advertise an app when you can’t even try it without being forced to subscribe right away. On top of that, the subscription prices for an app like this are completely unreasonable.

### 1/5 — Ohne Abo geht Nix

*2026-07-26*

Ohne kostenpflichtiges Abo kann man die Widgets nicht nutzen.
