Gakugame - WaniKani Companion
Kanji Reviews Without Burnout
Free
Reviews over 9000!? Set a daily limit and chip away with a sense of progress; don't give up. Multiple choice when you're stuck. Slow and steady wins the WaniKani.
You opened WaniKani. Saw 300+ reviews. Closed WaniKani.
Gakugame is the WaniKani companion for the days you almost give up. Set a daily limit, chip away at your pile, and keep going — slow and steady wins the kanji.
DAILY REVIEW LIMITS
Choose how many reviews you can handle today. 10, 25, 50 — whatever works. No guilt, no overwhelm. Tomorrow, do a few more.
MULTIPLE CHOICE MODE
Blanking on a reading? Switch to multiple choice and keep moving. You're still learning. You're still showing up.
FORGIVING INPUT
Typed "old" instead of "older brother"? Close enough. Fuzzy matching so typos don't break your flow.
FIX MISTAKES
Misstapped? Mark it correct and move on. Be honest — 学亀 is watching.
WORKS OFFLINE
All mnemonics, radicals, kanji, and vocab cached on your device. Review on the subway, in the mountains, wherever.
SEARCH ANYTHING
Full WaniKani database search, instant and offline. That kanji on the tip of your tongue? Found it.
DAILY REMINDERS
One gentle nudge per day, timed to when you last studied. No spam, just consistency.
CHALLENGE FRIENDS
Kanji battles in iMessage. Who's been slacking? Find out.
NATIVE & SYNCED
Built in SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, Apple TV and Apple Watch. Your API key syncs via iCloud — set up once, study anywhere.
Requires a WaniKani account. Free to use with your existing subscription.
Made by a WaniKani user who almost quit three times. The review pile was not a fun time. Now I do a little every day, and I'm still here. That's the goal.
