About
Pinyin Memory is a quiet place to keep the Chinese you meet --- words, lines, phrases --- and re-meet
them later. Not a course. Not a translator. A personal memory center for one learner at a time.
The pitch is simple: capture in 5 seconds, re-meet through play. No streaks shoving you back into the
app. No grades. No leaderboards. Just your corpus, your pace, your mood.
--- What you get ---
CAPTURE
• One-screen entry: type a hanzi, get auto-pinyin and per-character tone colors.
• Tag it. Add a meaning in your language. Save. Done.
• Decomposer: paste any Chinese text, tap segments to save.
DICTIONARY
• Your corpus, searchable across hanzi, pinyin, and meaning.
• Filter by tag, kind, or how shaky you are on it.
• Every entry has its own postcard with notes and TTS.
RE-MEETING (the heart of it)
• Recall - infinite 4-direction swipe self-test. Forget, not sure, almost, know. Cards keep coming.
• Match - memory pair game from 4×4 to 10×10.
• Cloze - fill in the missing character from four options.
• Flashback - Tinder-style quick recognition for honest self-rating.
PRACTICE
• Tone Tap - hear a syllable, tap the tone.
• Tone Twin - find the same-tone-pattern pair in a grid.
• Daily Drop - one fresh word per day. Keep or skip.
• Mosaic - drag hanzi cards to build a sentence from a translation.
INSIGHTS
• Streak, memory size, last-7-days bars, 5-week heatmap, by-tag breakdown.
• All offline, all from your own review events.
--- Local-only by design ---
No account. No cloud. No analytics. No tracking pixel. No third-party SDKs hidden in the corners.
Your dictionary lives in a SQLite file on your phone. Export it anytime as JSON. Delete the app, the
data goes too.
--- Paper & Ink design ---
Warm paper, cast ink, hand-stamped serial. Italic Fraunces headings, Geist body, Caveat handwriting
for your own meanings, Noto Serif SC for the hanzi. Tone colors that work with the palette --- not
traffic-light red/yellow/green.
Choose from 10 themes: Paper & Ink, Midnight Glow, Garden, Ember, Love Letter, Aqua Glow, Gold
Century, Crimson Court, Linen, and Mocha.
--- Pinyin Pro (optional) ---
Free forever: Dictionary, Recall, Match, Cloze, Flashback, Decomposer, and the first two themes.
