筆文字 · brush writing

Learn Japanese by writing it.

Every other app tests whether you recognize a character. Fudemoji tests whether you can produce it - you write the kanji by hand with a stylus, then grade yourself. FSRS schedules the next review.

The idea

Production over recognition.

Reading a character and writing it from memory are different skills. For character-based languages, the one that fades first is production - so that's the one Fudemoji drills. By hand, on purpose.

手書き

You write, never type

A low-latency handwriting canvas built for stylus input. Typing is never an input path - recall has to come from your hand.

自己採点

You self-grade

No spelling or stroke-order police. You reveal the answer and grade honestly - Again, Hard, Good, Easy - the way real recall works.

持参

Bring your own deck

Import your existing Anki .apkg decks. We ship no content and nothing leaves your device - local-first, no account.

The loop

Write → reveal → grade.

One quiet loop, repeated. The two delight moments are the live ink stroke and the card flip - everything else gets out of the way.

See a meaning

You're shown a meaning - “to eat” - and write the kanji by hand. Stuck? Toggle Trace to write over a faded target.

Reveal the answer

The card flips to show the kanji, reading, and meaning. Compare it against what your hand produced.

Grade yourself

Again, Hard, Good, or Easy. FSRS uses your honest grade to schedule exactly when the card comes back.
