Read 99% of everyday Chinese. Master the 3,000 characters that matter, just minutes a day. Smart spaced repetition schedules every review for you. Free to start.
Learn the 3,000 most frequently used Chinese characters, enough to read 99% of everyday written Chinese.
LEARN IN THE ORDER THAT MATTERS
Characters are introduced by real-world frequency, so the first ones you learn are the ones you'll actually see most. No wasted effort on rare characters.
WHY HANZIHUNTER
• Smart scheduling: a spaced-repetition system plans each review so you remember more in less time.
• Built for reading: every character comes with pinyin, a clear definition, example sentences, the common words it appears in, and its etymology.
• Learn to write: every character animates stroke by stroke, and writing practice grades your finger strokes as you trace or write from memory.
• Make it a game: memorize characters by racing the brush or the clock.
• Study your way: follow the raw frequency list, or pick exact HSK levels for characters AND vocabulary, and switch whenever your goal changes.
• Browse everything: the 成语 idiom collection and 9,000+ HSK words are free to explore.
• Your own words: add anything you meet in the wild; pinyin and meaning fill themselves in.
• A few minutes a day: set your own pace, from a relaxed 1 new character a day to an intense 12.
• Home & lock screen widgets: discover characters, preview your next words, or keep a review prompt on your lock screen.
• Works offline: everything lives on your device, and no account is required (progress backed up on your iCloud account).
