## What is Tobokachi?

Tobokachi is a language-learning companion app.

It's built around two key ideas for learning a new language:

The FSRS spaced repetition algorithm.
Handwriting for deep learning.

While most apps in this space rely on virtual cards, Tobokachi generates a real, working PDF. It's perfect for studying on paper or on zero-distraction devices, like e-ink tablets.

Create as many language goals as you want, build specialized card decks for every key point in the language, and let Tobokachi generate the perfect study sessions for you, so nothing gets forgotten.

A few improvements to make working with your cards and decks faster:

- Cards in the review queue are now better shuffled, so two related cards (like front and back) don't show up right after each other.
- New search for flashcards within each deck, and search for decks within each goal.

Thanks for using Tobokachi!

You can now move your cards in and out of Tobokachi:
