What’s inside

Everything you need to master kanji

One app for reading, writing, and remembering, wrapped in a Japanese dojo you’ll want to come back to.

The Dojo

Your daily hub for lessons, review, and challenges in one place, tuned to what you should practice next.

Draw every stroke

Watch real stroke-order animations, then draw each kanji yourself. Feedback is instant and always explained, with no black-box AI and no invisible fails.

Kanji dictionary & search

Look up any kanji by meaning, reading, or romaji, with vocabulary, example words, and etymology.

Battle mode

Turn review into a duel. Break your opponent’s stance with every correct answer, chain combos, and earn your grade.

Karuta

A solo, time-attack card game: race the clock to grab the kanji the reader calls before it slips away.

Smart review

Spaced repetition that adapts to you, with a Smart Deck of everything due plus your own custom study decks.

Focus mode

Pomodoro-style focused study with an ambient scene and a live countdown, even in the iOS Dynamic Island.

XP, streaks & rank

Earn XP from daily quests, keep your streak alive, and climb the eight-tier Warrior’s Path as you master kanji from JLPT-like levels.

Offline & private

Every feature works offline and your progress stays on your device. Optional cloud backup is yours to switch on.

The Sekana way

Built to be honest, private, and real

No invisible fails

Every drawing check tells you exactly what to fix. Scoring is deterministic and transparent, never a mysterious “wrong.”

Offline-first & private

The whole app runs without a connection, and your data lives on your device. Cloud backup and diagnostics are strictly opt-in.

Real kanji, real data

Stroke order, readings, meanings, and example vocabulary come from established, openly-licensed Japanese datasets.
