What it does
If you're learning Japanese, you've probably pasted sentences into ChatGPT for breakdowns. Sometimes it skips the furigana or gives vague grammar explanations. And when it works, it's a wall of text that's hard to scan.

Free on Android and iOS, with a Pro plan for heavy use.
Wakatta! breaks down any Japanese sentence into translation, word-by-word analysis with furigana, grammar explanations, and JLPT levels. Powered by AI.

It’s basically an attempt to make the "i+1" method actually passive, you understand the sentence because it's mostly english, but you pick up Japanese words naturally from the context. It uses an LLM in the backend to make sure the…

I'm a long time lurker that recently quit my job to work on my own projects, a lot due to the inspiration from Hacker News. Now I have published my first serious project, an app for learning how to write Japanese characters. It's the app I always wanted but couldn't find when I was studying. It tries to be simple to use, you just start the quiz and go with the flow. There's no need to plan and manage your studies, and it uses spaced repetition for better retention.
