I built a free Japanese vocabulary app because I kept forgetting the words I learned
Hey everyone!
I’m learning Japanese as a hobby, and I kept having the same problem: I’d discover new words, look them up, and then forget them a few days later.
I wanted something simple where I could collect my own words, explore their meanings and kanji, and practice them later.
So I built Kotomi, a small Japanese vocabulary app.
It’s completely free, works offline, and has no ads or accounts.
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/kotomi-your-japanese-deck/id6796382400
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nuzil.kotomi
I’m still learning Japanese myself, so I’d genuinely love feedback from other learners.
How do you currently keep track of new vocabulary?
Do you use Anki, your own notes, or something else?
