Kototap: SRS for Japanese

Pounce Studio

About this app

Kototap writes short stories around your spaced-repetition deck. Words and grammar are best learned inside sentences doing real work, so that's where your reviews live. Tap a word you don't know, and it repeats in your next stories — until it sticks.

What you look up is what you learn
• Instant, in-context explanations as you read
• Every word you look up joins your deck automatically

Words repeat in new stories until they stick
• Spaced repetition schedules each word's return inside future stories
• Watch words climb from Learning → Familiar → Comfortable, story by story

Grammar gets the same treatment
• Grammar patterns (〜てしまう, 〜そうだ, …) are tapped, tracked, and repeated just like vocabulary
• One system for everything you're learning — no separate grammar study

Connect what you've learned
• Sync WaniKani, Bunpro or Renshuu, or import an Anki deck
• What you already know is woven into your stories, so it gets reinforced instead of forgotten

Stories always at your level
• Short, engaging stories generated for you — tuned so you understand about 90% on sight
• Nine difficulty steps from beginner to native Japanese; move up whenever you're ready
• Made for the intermediate plateau — you know a lot of words, but native material still buries you

Reading that stays fun
• Story decisions let you choose where each story goes next
• Listen along with built-in audio narration

Spaced repetition, in context — the way words and grammar actually stick.
