Kinako — Study Flashcards
Vocabulary & Spaced Repetition
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Private spaced-repetition flashcards: unlimited decks, no ads, no account, offline. Import your existing cards and study hands-free.
Kinako is a private, local-first flashcard app with no ads, no account, and no tracking. Build unlimited decks, import existing material, and study with a quiet two-button spaced-repetition system.
STUDY WITHOUT LIMITS
• Unlimited decks and cards
• Create, import, share, and lossless full-library export
• FSRS spaced repetition in both directions
• Flip, typed-answer, and multiple-choice study modes
• Progress and statistics
• Private iCloud sync through your own Apple account
• Per-card read-aloud for every deck
• Daily reminder, Home Screen widget, share extension, Apple Watch app, and Siri shortcuts
LISTEN HANDS-FREE
Listen Mode reads a deck aloud—term, pause, definition—with playback controls on the Lock Screen and supported headphones. The 40 Words Worth Knowing starter deck and the first-run demonstration are always available for trying Listen Mode. Kinako Complete expands Listen Mode to every deck.
ON-DEVICE SPEECH
Natural English and Japanese speech models ship inside the app and work offline from first launch. Speech content and model execution stay on your device. Other supported languages use voices managed by iOS. Kinako never uploads cards, recordings, transcripts, or study audio.
YOUR LIBRARY STAYS YOURS
• No Kinako account or login
• Private iCloud sync
• Full export whenever you want
• Recently Deleted keeps deletions recoverable for 30 days
• Curated packs are read-only, but your notes and study progress remain yours
KINAKO COMPLETE
Kinako Complete is one non-consumable purchase. It unlocks:
• Listen Mode on every deck
• Scan to Card after ten successful scans
• Spoken answers
• Sticking Points
• Medical Terminology
• SAT® Vocabulary
Travel Japanese remains available to own and study. Everything needed to study your own material—including unlimited decks and cards, every study mode, progress, iCloud sync, per-card read-aloud, export, reminders, widgets, sharing, and the Watch app—remains available without Complete.
There is no subscription, time-based trial, account, advertising SDK, analytics SDK, or developer-operated backend. Passive Listen Mode never changes scheduling progress.
