HeyWrite: Master Handwriting
Kanji, Hangul & Chinese Script
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Master Japanese, Korean, and Chinese by writing every character stroke by stroke — the way native speakers actually learn.
HeyWrite teaches correct stroke order through guided drawing practice on your phone. Unlike flashcard apps, your muscle memory does the memorizing — characters stick because your hand remembers them.
-- WHY STROKE ORDER MATTERS --
Research shows handwriting beats passive study. Every character you draw in HeyWrite follows the exact stroke sequence used in Japan, Korea, and China — the same method taught in schools there. Correct stroke order makes your handwriting readable and speeds recognition.
-- THREE LANGUAGES, ONE APP --
