Learn Chinese from Your Lock Screen*
The average person checks their phone over 100 times a day.
Daily Hanzi turns those moments into effortless Chinese exposure.
Instead of carving out study time, you learn naturally - every time you glance at your lock screen.
No textbooks. No long lessons. No pressure.
See Chinese characters, pronunciation, and meaning directly on your lock screen*.
Learning happens passively, without even opening the app.
Make Chinese Part of Your Day
Small, repeated exposure builds familiarity and confidence over time. Daily Hanzi fits into the habits you already have.
Remember More, Effortlessly
By seeing Chinese throughout the day, characters start to feel familiar instead of intimidating. Learning feels lighter, simpler, and more sustainable.
Built for Busy People
Whether you’re a beginner, heritage learner, or getting back into Chinese, Daily Hanzi works in the background of your life.
You already check your phone.
Now you’re learning Chinese when you do.

I am enjoying the app so far! It is a great reminder to actually take time, even a minute or two, to review or learn a new word. I would really like it if you could add the voice dictation for the sentences so it reads aloud the example sentences provided. I would also enjoy if you could add the ability to select words in the example sentences to define and delve further. I can’t wait to see how this app grows. I would love to see further reading and learning features for everyday conversations and signs that you would normally see and hear in China. Keep up the amazing work on this app!
Very helpful and convenient

I found this app through Instagram and thought the lock screen widget feature was really cool. I usually forget to study Chinese and having it directly on my lockscreen makes it really easy to remember to study! I also like how it gives me new words that I find useful and caters to my reading level. The pronounciation is also a huge plus. Loving it so far!
Looks great - Small bugs are annoying

First off, i like the concept of app and it does get me to review vocab more frequently. but there is this small annoying interaction where i tap the home screen widget and the app doesn't open to the same word. Often times I can't even see the word in today's list. Also, I find it confusing that I set a daily goal of words and once I've reviewed that many words, the list doesnt restart and let me retest the forgotten ones. instead it keeps presenting me additional words for the day. This makes it hard to capture benefits of SRS and also it makes the review and for you categories a little confusing to understand.
Great app

I've tried pretty much every app for Chinese learning and this is my favorite. It allows me to learn HSK with full control over whether I want to learn Pinyin or Hanzi. My only complaint about the app is that some of the flashcards don't really make sense on their own, and the review functionality seems to be broken, so you have to manually check how the words can be used and you have to go back and review them yourself. If they fix this it will be my favorite app.
