Pinyin Learner vs HSK Learner

Pinyin Memory is a quiet place to keep the Chinese you meet --- words, lines, phrases --- and re-meet them later. Not a course. Not a translator. A personal memory center for one learner at a time. The pitch is simple: capture in 5 seconds, re-meet through play. No streaks shoving you back into the app. No grades. No leaderboards. Just your corpus, your pace, your mood. --- What you get --- CAPTURE • One-screen entry: type a hanzi, get auto-pinyin and per-character tone colors. • Tag it. Add a meaning in your language. Save. Done. • Decomposer: paste any Chinese text, tap segments to save. DICTIONARY • Your corpus, searchable across hanzi, pinyin, and meaning. • Filter by tag, kind, or how shaky you are on it. • Every entry has its own postcard with notes and TTS. RE-MEETING (the heart of it) • Recall - infinite 4-direction swipe self-test. Forget, not sure, almost, know. Cards keep coming. • Match - memory pair game from 4×4 to 10×10. • Cloze - fill in the missing character from four options. • Flashback - Tinder-style quick recognition for honest self-rating. PRACTICE • Tone Tap - hear a syllable, tap the tone. • Tone Twin - find the same-tone-pattern pair in a grid. • Daily Drop - one fresh word per day. Keep or skip. • Mosaic - drag hanzi cards to build a sentence from a translation. INSIGHTS • Streak, memory size, last-7-days bars, 5-week heatmap, by-tag breakdown. • All offline, all from your own review events. --- Local-only by design --- No account. No cloud. No analytics. No tracking pixel. No third-party SDKs hidden in the corners. Your dictionary lives in a SQLite file on your phone. Export it anytime as JSON. Delete the app, the data goes too. --- Paper & Ink design --- Warm paper, cast ink, hand-stamped serial. Italic Fraunces headings, Geist body, Caveat handwriting for your own meanings, Noto Serif SC for the hanzi. Tone colors that work with the palette --- not traffic-light red/yellow/green. Choose from 10 themes: Paper & Ink, Midnight Glow, Garden, Ember, Love Letter, Aqua Glow, Gold Century, Crimson Court, Linen, and Mocha. --- Pinyin Pro (optional) --- Free forever: Dictionary, Recall, Match, Cloze, Flashback, Decomposer, and the first two themes. Pinyin Pro unlocks: Tone Tap, Daily Drop, Tone Twin, Mosaic, and all 10 themes. Subscribe monthly, yearly or lifetime based on your needs
