Built for Android flow
A phone-native review interface that keeps the keyboard and focus where you need them, so WaniKani reviews feel faster than using the desktop web UI on mobile.
Android app for WaniKani
A WaniKani Android app for focused reviews.
Krabikani syncs with WaniKani and gives you a mobile-first alternative to using the web version on your phone: lessons, reviews, search, and offline study without leaving your Android flow.
Krabikani is an independent companion app. WaniKani is a trademark of Tofugu LLC.
Why Krabikani?
A WaniKani Android app for people who actually review on their phone.
The official WaniKani website is great, but mobile browser study is not always the smoothest way to clear a review queue. Krabikani keeps WaniKani as your source of truth while adding Android-native ergonomics, local storage, and review-focused interactions.

Lessons, reviews, and search

Friendly reminders
Hourly notifications can help you avoid review pileups when your available WaniKani reviews climb too high.
