you look.

Every sign, poster, and shopfront is a word waiting to be mined. Point, snap, and it's a card before the light turns green.

Three taps, thirty seconds

Capture. Generate. Remember.

01

Snap or paste

Photograph Japanese in the wild, or paste it from a website, ebook, or subtitle file. The AI reads the scene — no perfect framing needed.

02

AI builds the card

Reading, meaning, politeness level, an example sentence, and a mnemonic — generated in seconds and ready to review.

03

FSRS keeps it

Smart spaced repetition resurfaces each word right before you'd forget. Fifteen minutes a day, and it stays for good.

Try it yourself

Drag the scanner across the photo.

Why it sticks

Small details, fewer forgotten words.

Mnemonics that stick

A vivid little story for every word, so you stop forgetting the same one twice.

Politeness, built in

Every card flags casual, polite, or formal — so you always pitch the register right.

Furigana & examples

Readings in hiragana plus a natural example sentence — pronunciation and usage from day one.

Review with no signal; everything syncs the moment you reconnect, on every device.
