Hanase turns the in-between moments of your day into study time. A flash card arrives as a notification on your Mac, iPhone, or Apple Watch. You glance, you guess — and one tap reveals the answer. A little, often, until it's yours. WHY HANASE IS DIFFERENT • Built around notifications, not sessions. There's no "study time" to schedule. Cards find you while you're already looking at your devices. • Works everywhere your Apple devices already work. Native apps for macOS, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Widgets on every platform. Settings sync via iCloud. • Local-first. No accounts, no analytics, no profile data. Your settings sync between your own devices through iCloud — that's it. • Beautiful by default. Bundled Newsreader and Noto Serif JP typefaces. Real typography, not stock system fonts. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a pack — Japanese (JLPT N5 and N4) ships bundled free, and beginner Spanish, French, and German are free too. 2. Set the rhythm — every 20 minutes, every hour, only during work hours, never during quiet hours. 3. Tap notifications throughout the day. A glance, a guess, a reveal. The widget on your home screen and watch face always shows your latest card. WHAT'S INCLUDED • A free beginner tier in four languages — JLPT N5 + N4 Japanese (300 cards, bundled on first launch) plus beginner Spanish, French, and German • A growing catalog of premium packs ($0.99 to $2.99) — every JLPT level and all 2,136 jōyō kanji, Spanish/French/German up to B2, French cooking vocabulary, HTTP status codes, and more • Widgets for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch — large, small, and lock-screen sized • Favorites system across all your devices • Quiet hours and pause controls when you don't want interruptions PRIVACY Hanase has no servers and no account. We collect no analytics, no telemetry, no profile data. Your settings sync between your own Apple devices through iCloud's encrypted Key-Value Store. There is nothing for us to sell because we don't have it. REQUIREMENTS • macOS 14 or later • iOS 17 or later • watchOS 10 or later Learn more at hanaseapp.com.
