KanjiPad
What KanjiPad is
KanjiPad is a kanji learning app for learners from JLPT N5 through N1, with guided writing practice, stroke order, quizzes, and spaced repetition. Its library covers all 2,136 jōyō kanji, organized by JLPT level, with readings and example words. As learners draw a character on screen, the app checks their strokes. Character entries include meanings, on and kun readings, Heisig keywords, example words, and speech synthesis. Learners can search by meaning or reading, or draw a character for recognition. The browser lookup compares stroke shape, direction, and order; it runs without uploading drawings and requires no account or app installation. A Today dashboard tracks a streak, JLPT progress, and activity over 12 weeks, while the maker suggests five minutes of daily practice. KanjiPad is free on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web. The mobile app works offline without an account or sign-up and keeps progress on the device. The JLPT N5 list is also available on the web without sign-up.
