HanziFlow Flashcards
Chinese on your Lock Screen
$5.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
HanziFlow helps you learn Chinese vocabulary through repeated, glanceable exposure, especially on your Lock Screen.
Instead of opening a study app every time, keep Chinese words quietly visible throughout your day. Add HanziFlow widgets to your Lock Screen or Home Screen and let hanzi, pinyin, and meanings become familiar one small glance at a time.
Use built-in HSK vocabulary decks, import your own words from Pleco, scan Chinese text from photos, and review cards when you want a more focused session. With iCloud sync, your vocabulary and learning progress can stay up to date across your Apple devices.
HanziFlow is designed to feel calm, lightweight, and native to iPhone.
