Learn Chinese without opening an app.
Daily Chinese puts a new HSK word on your Lock Screen and Home Screen every single day. Glance at your phone, absorb a word, and build a real vocabulary one day at a time - no lessons, no streak pressure, no account required. Start with a 7-day free trial.
A WORD A DAY, RIGHT WHERE YOU'LL SEE IT
Add the Daily Chinese widget to your Lock Screen or Home Screen and a fresh word appears each morning, complete with characters, pinyin, and English meaning. No unlocking, no opening an app - passive exposure is the easiest habit you'll ever keep.
BUILT AROUND HSK 3.0
Every word is graded by the official HSK 3.0 standard - 11,000+ words spanning absolute-beginner HSK 1 all the way to HSK 7–9. Choose exactly which levels you're studying and your daily word is drawn only from those bands.
SHOW ONLY WHAT YOU WANT
Studying recognition? Show just the characters. Working on tones? Add pinyin. Want a full prompt? Turn on the English meaning too. Mix and match - your card, your way. Simplified or traditional characters, your choice.
MAKE IT YOURS
Browse and search all 11,000+ words. Add ones you want to focus on, skip the ones you already know, and your daily word adapts.
100% OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT
The entire dictionary lives on your device. No account, no tracking, no internet required. It just works.
