  1. **Manabi Reader** – iOS and macOS native app for learning Japanese through reading

    6 million flashcards added across 60,000+ users. As featured by Tofugu:

    >*Overall,* ***a solid app that we recommend*** *for reading sentences that aren’t drab and contextless—especially if you’re more motivated when reading about something you’re personally interested in.*

    * EPUB, web browser, RSS feeds, spoken audio. Tap words to look them up and translate sentences. (PDF + manga mode soon!)
    * Tracks every word and kanji you read and learn. Charts your progress page-by-page and per JLPT level. See what vocab and kanji you need to know to read every webpage, chapter or ebook.
    * Anki or built-in flashcards with SRS (FSRS soon). Makes sentence mining easy. Includes links back to the source of each sentence in your flashcards.
    * Privacy obsessed: works like a web browser with processing and storage on-device (and in your personal iCloud)

    I quit my job to work on this so expect a lot more soon, such as YouTube with clickable transcripts, MPV-based movie player, visionOS, opt-in AI-backed assistive features, etc.

    Next up: I’m working on adding support for Yomichan dictionaries, and adding a PDF and manga mode. I’m also going to launch a WebRcade.com iOS port for playing Japanese games and getting realtime OCR transcripts you can look up as you play called Manabi TV, with HDMI inputs on iPad too.

    I’ve also just added pitch accents in the upcoming release
