About

Learn the basics of the Japanese alphabet with an interactive card-matching game. Kana Snap drops the bloat and incessant monetisation inherent to language-learning apps, turning the memory-making process into a primary or second-screen arcade experience that works across PC, macOS and Steam Deck.
Kana Snap can also be used as a simple reference tool for learning Hiragana & Katakana, with Text-to-Speech sound bites on macOS that help you lock the characters into your grey matter.
🧠 SRS (Spaced Repetition): Kana Snap tracks your hesitations and addresses your mistakes. Problem characters appear before you forget them.
🔊 Native Audio (Mac Exclusive) On macOS, Kana Snap utilizes Apple's Text-to-Speech engine to provide native pronunciations for each character when you click on a tile.
🔇 Visual-Only Learning (Windows): On Windows and Steam Deck, Kana Snap tests visual memory and reflexes alone. It's just you and the grid.
♾️ Kana Snap has Two Modes!
Challenge Mode: Five lives and a ticking clock. Can you get through the grid before time runs out?
Endless Mode: Frictionless gameplay for meditative practice. No game overs or time-outs.
And last, but certainly not least...
ZERO DISTRACTIONS: Forget the upsells and ads. Kana Snap was built to respect your time and your wallet.

Kana Snap is a great way to quickly learn Hiragana and Katakana. I've tried flashcards, but those require you to sit your butt down and actually do the flashcards again and again. I've also tried studying charts, but again that requires you to sit down and do nothing but focus on the chart. Kana Snap is like a combination of flashcards and the chart. It has a test mode, but I like the endless mode. In it, you are told to click on a specific letter, and then you go and click on what you think the letter is. If it's correct, you proceed to the next letter, but if you get it wrong, the correct letter flashes on the screen in red, and is added to a list to the left of words you need to work on more. You have to click on the correct letter to proceed. I mentioned I like this Kana Snap better than traditional methods of study because I can pull up a funny video on Youtube and passively watch that while I mindlessly click on letters. Eventually, even without trying too hard, I am beginning to learn the letters. So therefore it is only a matter of time that I will learn both alphabets, all while doing a thing I would have been doing anyway, which is watch funny Youtube videos. For less than $5.00, this is an incredibly handy tool. Highly recommended.
