Two big updates in this release: Word Writing Mode — Practice kana in the context of real Japanese words, not just isolated characters. A more natural, effective way to build writing fluency. Revamped Study Mode — The study experience has been rebuilt around stroke-order references and hands-on writing practice, so you build correct habits from the very first character. As always, KanaScript is free, fully offline, and collects no data.
