Hanmo (汉墨) puts Chinese vocabulary where you already look: your lock screen. Add the widget and a rotating word from today's plan — character, pinyin, meaning — appears every hour. Tap it and you land on that exact word, ready to review. ONE SIMPLE LOOP • A daily plan of new words and due reviews (you choose the pace: 5–20 a day) • Flip-card review: see the character, recall it, then reveal • Don't know a word? It comes back in the same session until you do • Know a word three times over the days? It earns its red seal — mastered MADE FOR CONSISTENCY • Words rotate hourly in a window you choose (e.g. 08:00–22:00) • A gentle daily reminder at the time you pick — optional • Streaks that survive a busy day HONEST BY DESIGN • 100% offline — works in airplane mode from first launch • No account, no analytics, no tracking, no paywall • Simplified and Traditional scripts, with pinyin (and zhuyin for Traditional) • On-device audio for every word and example sentence Dictionary data from CC-CEDICT, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
