Foxie Nihongo is the all-in-one Japanese learning app with an offline dictionary, JLPT N5-N1 practice, and an AI tutor that runs entirely on your device — no internet required.

Kototap weaves spaced repetition into stories. Words and grammar are best learned in context, inside sentences doing real work, so that's where your reviews live. Tap a word you don't know, and it comes back in your next stories — until it sticks. Tap a word to add it to your deck • Instant, in-context explanations as you read • Every word you look up joins your deck automatically Words resurface until they stick • Spaced repetition schedules each word's return inside future stories • Watch words climb from Learning → Familiar → Comfortable, story by story Grammar gets the same treatment • Grammar patterns (〜てしまう, 〜そうだ, …) are tapped, tracked, and resurfaced just like vocabulary • One system for everything you're learning — no separate grammar study Stories always at your level • Short, engaging stories generated for you — tuned so you understand about 90% on sight • Twelve difficulty steps from N5 to N2; climb one step at a time • Made for the intermediate plateau — you know a lot of words, but native material still buries you Reading that stays fun • Story decisions let you choose where each story goes next • Listen along with built-in audio narration Spaced repetition, in context — the way words and grammar actually stick.
