Turn your scrolling into Japanese. Swipe through kanji, the words they unlock and real sentences in one flow, then read articles, websites and photos.
Turn your scrolling into Japanese. Yomaru is a continuous, full-screen learning flow: swipe through kanji, the words they unlock, and real sentences, with writing practice and reviews woven in as you go.
KANJI UNLOCK WORDS. WORDS UNLOCK SENTENCES.
Most apps drill kanji and vocabulary in isolation. Yomaru builds reading ability in the order Japanese is built:
• Kanji unlock words — you never meet a word before its kanji. Learn 人 (person), and 一人 (one person) appears.
• Words unlock sentences — once you know the words, you read a real sentence like 大人一人です on your own.
• Make it stick — trace every kanji stroke by stroke with live guidance.
• Reviews in the flow — spaced repetition brings items back right as you're about to forget them. No decks to manage.
• See your Japanese grow — your study rhythm, JLPT progress from N5 to N1, and recent discoveries on the Learn dashboard.
READ REAL JAPANESE
• Find your next good read — Japanese articles, essays, and short stories from curated feeds, each tagged by JLPT difficulty.
• Put your Japanese to use — open a website or paste text, tap any word for its reading and meaning, see a sentence translation, and send the sentence to Learn.
• Turn photos into practice — menus, signs, packaging: Yomaru finds the Japanese text on your device, adds furigana, and turns the words you don't know into lessons.
WHY YOMARU

OFFLINE-FIRST
Lessons, writing practice, and reviews work offline. Browsing articles, opening websites, and downloading the Reading Pack need a connection.
Free to download, with ads. A one-time purchase removes them.
