Read full descriptionHide full description
Are you "Gachi" about Kanji? Stop browsing and start retaining. Gachi Kanji is a high-performance Spaced Repetition System (SRS) built for learners who want to move past recognition and master production. No fluff, no "gamey" distractions—just the high-yield Kanji you actually need to live and work in Japan. THE GACHI METHOD: REPS & TRACING Science proves that muscle memory is the key to long-term retention. Gachi Kanji combines a powerful SRS algorithm with a precision brush-stroke engine. Trace with Intent: Learn correct stroke order with a high-fidelity drawing interface. SRS Logic: Our system tracks every character. If it’s "Active," you’re drilling it. If it’s "Sleeping," your brain is resting. If it’s "Archived," it’s yours forever. High-Yield Only: We focus on the common Kanji used in daily Japanese life and the JLPT. APP FEATURES: JLPT Structured: Study decks organized from N5 to N1. Deep Filtering: Instantly sort by your mastery level—Active, Sleeping, or Archived. Neumorphic UI: A clean, sophisticated interface designed for long study sessions without eye strain. Offline First: Study on the train, the bus, or the mountains of Mie. No constant connection required. WHY GACHI KANJI? In Japanese, "Gachi" means to be serious, for-real, and intense. We didn't build a game; we built a tool for the Gachizei—the serious players. Whether you’re aiming for N1 or just trying to read the signs in your neighborhood, Gachi Kanji provides the structured reps you need to make the language stick. Stop forgetting. Start tracing. Get Gachi.
