Kana sticks when you write it. Practice Kana is built around that one thing. No streaks, no XP, no sign-up screen. Open the app and you're already practicing. STROKE BY STROKE Red numbers over a faint guide show you the stroke order. Follow them, then turn the page to the next character. Forgot the order? Tap Replay to watch each stroke drawn again. When a character feels familiar, switch to Freehand and write it on a blank sheet. You'll see right away how many strokes you wrote and whether the count is right. HEAR IT, TOO Tap any character to hear it read in Japanese, in your choice of three voices. QUIZZES ON YOUR TERMS Write the kana from its reading, or pick the reading for a kana. Choose hiragana, katakana or both, from the basics through dakuten, handakuten and yōon, and set how many questions you want. In the writing quiz, the answer is laid over your own handwriting, so you can see exactly where it differs. Anything you missed is one tap away from the results screen. PROGRESS WITHOUT THE PRESSURE Finished characters get a small mark on the kana chart: 104 hiragana and 104 katakana. No scores, no rankings, no streaks to protect. Go at your own pace. YOUR PAPER, YOUR WAY The default theme follows light and dark mode. Or make your own: pick the accent color, the paper color, and a background such as washi, a manuscript grid, or one of your own photos. GREAT FOR • Beginners starting hiragana and katakana • Learners who can read kana but get stuck on stroke order • Anyone who finds gamified study apps more distracting than helpful No sign-up, no ads, and no internet connection needed. Messy strokes are welcome. Start with one character today.
