Kanji-Mastery
A free alternative to WaniKani for mastering japanese kanji
What it does
Learn all JLPT kanji levels N5–N1 — no sign-up required. Writing tests, reading tests, flashcards, and speed drills work instantly. Free account unlocks FSRS spaced repetition and progress.

Premium only unlocks advanced analytics. More features are planned!
