Wanilog

What's new

Recent changes to Wanilog, most recent first.

September 7, 2026
  • More ways to react. Messages in the dev chat now have a full searchable emoji picker, with the original six reactions kept at the top as Favourites.
September 6, 2026
  • MuzuScore in reviews. Community difficulty scores load in the background and appear below the review card’s header after you reveal or check an answer. Correct typed answers show the score when Pause on correct is on. Links below the answer open the item on WaniKani or Wanilog.
  • Study the cards due today. On Items, combine Apprentice with Due today to practice that day's cards, with the option to include overdue cards from previous days. Save the filter as a live deck to use it again tomorrow.
September 4, 2026
  • See what else your answer could have been. Typed reviews now stop on a correct answer instead of moving straight on, so you can read every meaning and reading WaniKani would have accepted before you continue. The pause button in the review header turns that off. Both review modes have an Item info panel holding those answers and the mnemonics, and a link to the item on WaniKani is always on the card.
September 3, 2026
  • Review countdowns name the hour. Anything less than a day away now reads "in 3h (8 PM)" instead of just "in 3h", so it matches the clock time WaniKani gives you.
  • Browse decks other learners listed. The gallery at /gallery shows decks people shared and chose to put there: pick a level range, open one to see what it holds, and add a copy to your own decks. Any deck you have shared can join it from the deck's own page.
September 2, 2026
  • Share a deck. Open a deck you saved and press Share, and anyone with the link can take a copy for their own decks. The items inside show only to someone with their own WaniKani key. Your deck page counts how many people opened the link and how many took a copy, and you can list your shared decks on your profile.
September 1, 2026
  • Give a deck a look of its own. Open a deck and tap Edit details: it can carry a short description, an icon (pick one from the grid, or type any Japanese character) and a color. The description is what the hub shows under the deck's name, in place of the filter it follows. The color is adjusted to stay readable on whichever theme you use, so a pale yellow does not wash out in daylight and a deep navy does not disappear at night.
August 31, 2026
  • Pick a deck's items by hand. The items page has a picking mode: tap the items you want, change the filter as often as you need, and save the picks as a deck. The page holds your picks across filter changes, and keeps them if you leave and come back. You can go back to a deck saved as a fixed list and pick its items again; a deck that follows a filter offers to become one first.
  • Decks the app builds for you. Your decks now carries built-in decks beside the ones you save: the items you have started that other learners get wrong most often, the kanji holding up your level, a daily draw from your burned items, everything that slipped back a stage in the last two weeks, and one deck per JLPT level, Joyo grade and frequency band. The deck with something left to fix sorts to the top, a deck too big to sit through offers a 25-item session, and each one remembers how you last reviewed it. Clear the same deck twice in a row with no misses and its page starts counting the run. Three new badges go with it.
August 30, 2026
  • Save any items filter as a deck. Narrow the Items page to what you want to drill, press Save deck, and it lands on the new Decks page with the date you last practiced it and how much you got right first time. A deck can follow the filter, so it picks up items as you level, or hold the fixed list you saved. Each session records what you missed and how many tries it took, so "Review the hard ones" quizzes only those.
August 29, 2026
  • The achievements tile now predicts your actual next badge. It used to point at whichever badge had the fullest progress bar, usually a far-off level, even when your first burn was scheduled days away. Now it estimates when each badge will land from your review schedule and your level pace, and shows the soonest one with a rough date: "next: First burn (~4d)".
August 28, 2026
  • Items filters, reorganized. The ten SRS stage pills are now six groups - open the arrow on Apprentice or Guru to reach the fine stages - and the Review weak / Review all buttons are always on the card, next to the item count they act on.
August 27, 2026
  • Find every kanji that shares a reading. Set the type filter on Items to Kanji alone and a Reading row appears. Pick a kana row, then a reading, and the page narrows to the kanji read that way: こう gives you 口 工 公 広 交 光 考 行 高 and the rest, with the count beside each reading so you can see which families are worth learning as a set. Useful if you build your own mnemonics around a recurring character the way WaniKani does with Koichi and Mrs Chou. Pick several readings at once if you like, and the review button above the list quizzes exactly what you narrowed to. A kanji with two readings turns up under both.
  • Wanilog now gets resets right. WaniKani keeps a blank record for every item a reset relocks, and Wanilog was counting those as unlocked. So Fastest route told you to do lessons for kanji that are still locked, the level-up card listed no blocking radicals while every one of them was blocking you, and item pages and tooltips labelled those items "In lessons". The earliest level-up date came out days early for the same reason. Nothing changes if you have never reset.
  • Quiz yourself across a range of levels. Items has a Levels row in the filters where you can set a span, say 12 to 20, and the review pill above the list quizzes all of it in one shuffled pile. One level at a time is a small enough pool that you start recognising items by where they turn up rather than by reading them; a wider span takes that away. Leave either end blank to mean "from here on" or "up to here".
August 25, 2026
  • Item pages now flag your leeches. A badge beside the SRS stage says whether the item is on your leech list, under whatever filters you picked on the Leeches page, and tapping it opens that list.
  • Review notifications now show which hours matter. The little chart in each Discord message paints an hour pink when the reviews arriving then are the ones standing between you and your next level, with a key underneath. At a glance you can see that 2pm and 4pm are worth sitting down for and 3pm can wait.
  • Or hear about only those. A new switch in Settings narrows review notifications to the current level's kanji and radicals you have not passed yet, so a day of short sessions stops pinging you every hour about vocabulary that is not holding you up. Lessons are unaffected, and at level 60 or a free account's cap there is nothing left to block a level-up, so notifications carry on as normal.
August 24, 2026
  • Your theme now reaches the SRS colors. Coverage, Items, Level-up, Can I read this and public profiles were still painting Apprentice, Guru and the rest in the default pink, purple and blue whichever palette you picked, so the color keys disagreed with the chips they were explaining. They all follow sakura, sumi and matcha now.
  • Or keep WaniKani's colors on purpose. A new switch beside the palettes pins the five SRS stages to WaniKani's own pink, purple, blue, cyan and gold while the rest of the page stays in your theme, so "purple means Guru" carries over from your WaniKani dashboard. Off by default; it lives under Theme in Settings.
August 22, 2026
  • MuzuScore - Wanilog's community difficulty score. Item pages, the leech list, and the difficulty rankings now show how hard other learners found each item, built from anonymized review history. Read how it works at /muzuscore, where one button also takes your own reviews out of those scores (Settings > Advanced has the same control, and opting back in is one press).
August 21, 2026
  • Replies land in the feedback chat while it is open. The conversation window now checks for new messages every few seconds, so you no longer have to close and reopen it to see an answer.
  • Completionist no longer requires the five- and ten-year anniversary badges. Time served says nothing about mastery, so the crown stops waiting on it. Both anniversaries are still there to earn when their day comes.
  • Longer WaniKani usernames work everywhere now. Accounts with names over 13 characters were being refused: review notifications could not be set up, and public profiles, achievements and study-history sync quietly failed. If that was you, everything just started working.
August 18, 2026
  • See the exact review sessions that set your level-up date. The level-up page now maps your fastest route: every must-hit review session from now to the level-up review, with the items in each one. Miss one and the plan reflows on your next sync.
  • Accuracy bars color exactly what they show. A bar that reads 90% is now green - 89.6% used to round up on the label while coloring amber. Prefer plain bars on the dashboard? Turn off the green/amber/red grading in Settings.
August 15, 2026
  • See when your reviews move your level-up. The dashboard tile now says how many of the waiting reviews block your next level (or when the next one lands), /reviews got a spoiler-free card showing each blocker and its review time, and the level-up page shows when its blockers come up. Review notifications say it too, so you can batch around the reviews that matter.
August 13, 2026
  • Typed readings ending in ん are no longer marked wrong. In writing mode, answering "shashin" left a stray n on the end and counted as a miss, even though WaniKani accepts it. The n now becomes ん when you answer.
August 12, 2026
  • The lookalike drill hides the answers until you ask for them. You get the kanji on its own, so you can try to recall the meaning before the choices appear. Get one wrong and the two sit side by side: the one you were asked about next to the one whose meaning you picked, so you can spot what actually differs between them.
  • Get a notification when I reply to your feedback. After you send a note, Wanilog offers to let you know when the answer arrives, so you do not have to keep opening the app to check. You can turn it off again in Settings, under Notifications. On an iPhone or iPad this needs Wanilog added to your home screen first.
August 11, 2026
  • Your JLPT, Joyo, frequency and vocab bars now show what they are made of. The same percentage as before, split by how far each item has got: Guru, Master, Enlightened and Burned each get their own colour, with counts under every bar. A level sitting at 60% on fresh Guru items looks very different from one built on burns, and now you can tell them apart at a glance.
  • Kanji you marked as known outside WaniKani are counted separately. They used to blend into Guru, which made that band look bigger than your actual WaniKani progress. They now have their own neutral band at the start of the bar.
August 10, 2026
  • See what a Discord notification looks like before you set one up. Settings now draws the message you would get, so you can decide whether you want the pings without pasting a webhook first.
August 7, 2026
  • Send feedback any time. The ? in the navbar (also in Settings and the command palette) opens a short form that goes straight to the developer, with a link to the forum thread if you'd rather ask publicly. The one-time survey popup is gone.
  • Resetting no longer wipes your level-up history. Every level a reset never touched keeps its bar and counts toward your pace, exactly as it should have all along. If your history vanished after a reset, it is back.
  • Resets are marked on the chart. A dashed line shows where each reset landed, so a slow-looking level next to it explains itself.
  • Missing levels are estimated from your kanji. When WaniKani has no record of a level-up, Wanilog works out roughly when it happened from when you passed that level's kanji and draws the bar hatched. Estimated bars never change your stats.
  • The Consistent badge forgives a long day. A level that runs a few hours past ten days no longer breaks the ten-level streak - anything within ten and a half days counts. If a near-miss cost you the badge before, it will unlock on your next visit.
  • Your level-up chart is coloured by pace. Every bar is now shaded by how that level compares to your median: cyan for your fastest level, grey for your slowest, blue for the ones at or under your median and purple for the ones over it. A key under the chart says which is which.
  • The chart is readable on a phone. Each level gets enough room for its bar, its day count and its number, and the chart scrolls sideways rather than squeezing your whole history into a thumbnail. Copying it as an image still gives you every level.
August 6, 2026
  • Your own mnemonics now show up. Notes you wrote on an item in WaniKani appear on its page in Wanilog and while you practice, above WaniKani's own mnemonic. They arrive on your next sync, however long ago you wrote them.
  • Meanings you added yourself are accepted. Your own synonyms now count as correct when you practice, instead of being marked wrong.
August 3, 2026
  • Get a Discord ping when reviews are waiting. Paste a Discord webhook in Settings and Wanilog will message you when your queue grows, with a chart of what is arriving over the next day. Quiet hours keep it silent overnight, and you can ask for reviews only, lessons only, or both.
August 2, 2026
  • The same treatment for items stalling at Guru. Under the stuck-in-apprentice list, a new section ranks the Guru items that have gone the longest without reaching Master - the ones that quietly stall for months because they only come up every couple of weeks.
July 21, 2026
  • See which items have been stuck in apprentice the longest. Your leech list has a new section ranking the apprentice items you have carried the longest without reaching Guru, so the slow ones that never quite pass are easy to spot and drill.
July 18, 2026
  • A finish date for level 60. Your items keep burning for months after you reach 60. The projection page now estimates when the last one reaches Burned, from your own review accuracy and the SRS schedule, with the remaining items counted by stage. The dashboard shows the date too, and its journey bar switches from level progress to percent burned.
July 17, 2026
  • Copy the level chart as an image. The Time per level card on the level-up page has a copy button now, so you can paste the chart straight into Discord or the forums without a screenshot.
  • Accurate daily review counts. A device that had not synced for a few days could pile earlier answers onto one day and inflate its review count on the study heatmap, and the wrong number then spread to your other devices. Counting now stays within the day the reviews actually happened.
July 16, 2026
  • Writing mode grades alternatives like WaniKani. Numeral answers count where WaniKani accepts them (8 for eight), "hundred" and "one hundred" are the same number, and blacklisted near-misses no longer slip past the typo tolerance.
  • Review a whole type across every level. Filter the Items page to Kanji, Vocab, or Radicals and new pills quiz you on all of it, or just the weak Apprentice items. Active stage chips and search narrow the session to match.
  • Focus your writing reviews. When you pick Writing mode in the trainer or a level review, you can drill just the meaning, just the reading, or both. Reading-only sessions skip radicals, which have no reading to type. Your choice carries over to next time.
July 12, 2026
  • Per tier view on the SRS chart. The SRS distribution card on /reviews has a second mode: one line per stage, each scaled to its own range, so a week of movement is legible. On the stacked view a tier that gained thirty items moved about three pixels, and Burned was a sliver too thin to read. Each line now shows its current count and how much it has changed.
  • A time range for the SRS chart. Once you have a month of history, 7d / 30d / All buttons appear on that card. Skipped days also draw as real gaps now, rather than being squeezed into a single step.
July 11, 2026
  • Reviews per day. The Study activity card on /reviews has a new Bars view: how many reviews you completed each day, on a real axis with month labels, plus today, 7-day average, and best-day stats. WaniKani deleted per-review history in 2023, so exact counts build from this update onward - older days show net stage moves in a muted tone instead.
  • Heatmap months. The activity grid shows month labels above its columns, so you can tell which week is which.
July 6, 2026
  • Projection chart. The what-if pace card now draws your path to level 60 on a dated chart, and it redraws as you drag the slider - with a faint line marking your real pace so faster or slower is easy to see.
  • Retired the Kanji Odyssey. The cinematic 3D replay is gone, replaced by the new live projection chart. The app is noticeably lighter to load as a result.
July 2, 2026
  • Projection page rework. Milestones are now a journey rail showing what you'll know at each stop ("N4 kanji complete", "half of all Joyo"), and the what-if slider re-projects the dates live as you drag.
  • Share page rework. Two tabs - Image card and Public profile - with a live preview of your public page, and your link always visible once published.
  • Burn chart. The burned-items view now charts your burns over time and estimates your final burn date.
  • Clearer level-up page. Blocking kanji carry WaniKani-style progress bars, and your earliest possible level-up is front and center.
  • Quieter onboarding. Achievement unlocks wait until the welcome tour is done, and signing out no longer causes a badge burst on the next sign-in.
  • First sync shows everything. No more half-empty dashboard right after your first sync.
June 28, 2026
  • Take the guided tour. A quick interactive walk through wanilog's main features, zooming into each one and back. New here? You will be offered it on arrival, and you can replay it anytime from Settings.
June 24, 2026
  • 11 new achievements. A study-streak ladder (7 / 30 / 100 days) in a new Consistency category, Joyo sweeps (all of Grade 1, all of elementary) and a top-100 frequency-kanji sweep, deeper SRS milestones (5,000 at Guru, 1,000 at Master, 1,000 at Enlightened), a Tortoise badge for grinding through a slow level, and Going Public for publishing a profile.
  • Compound words in reading coverage. Multi-kanji vocabulary you know now highlights as a single word (so 東京 reads as Tokyo, not east + capital), with the word's meaning and reading in the tooltip. Words WaniKani does not teach fall back to per-kanji.
  • Achievement progress bars show the requirement holding you back. Multi-requirement badges (like the accuracy medals) now name it in real units - "94.32% / 95% accuracy" or "4,200 / 5,000 reviews" - and never round a locked badge up to a full bar.
  • Study heatmap polish. Finer color shades so busy days are no longer one solid block, plus a first-time hint that the squares are tappable for that day's breakdown.
  • Bigger share card. The Joyo grid share card is no longer clipped by the page width - it shows full-width on /share.
  • Refreshed medals. A softer reflective sheen and a clearer locked-state lock.
June 23, 2026
  • More accurate finish-date forecast. Levels 1-2 run at double speed on WaniKani, which made projections optimistic. They are now left out of the pace average by default - you can toggle this on the Projection page, and brand-new accounts keep using them until there is enough normal-speed data.
June 22, 2026
  • Smarter study heatmap. Tap any day on the heatmap to see what happened - the lessons, promotions, demotions, and burns, with the items themselves. Demotions and later promotions are tracked from now on; older days show lessons, Guru milestones, and burns.
  • Review a whole level. Self-quiz every item on a level, or just the ones below Guru, without waiting for WaniKani to schedule them. You can also drill a whole SRS stage, or just the kanji blocking your next level-up. Self-graded.
May 29, 2026
  • Pick your promotion window. The Reviews page now lets you switch tier promotions between the next 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days, so you can see what is graduating soon or look further ahead.
  • Workload at a glance. Your projected daily review load for the next 30 days now shows right on the Reviews page, with a tap-through to the full forecast.
  • Palette refresh. Cleaner surfaces and borders across the dark sakura, sumi, and matcha themes, plus the sumi (ink) palette reworked to a neutral charcoal-and-paper look with a sumi-e seal-red accent (no more blue cast or muddy tan).
May 26, 2026
  • Study activity heatmap. A year grid on the Reviews page plus current and longest streak counters. A day counts as active if you did lessons, hit a Guru milestone, or burned an item.
May 17, 2026
  • Knowledgebase. A new hub at /knowledgebase pulling every guide, calculator, dictionary, JLPT/Joyo list, and tool comparison into one place.
  • Recommended guides for you. The /guides index now picks a personalized set based on your level, accuracy, and pace.
  • Stroke-order diagrams. On every kanji page and on the item detail page for kanji subjects.
  • Sidebar dashboard layout. An alternative to the bento grid if you prefer a hub-style nav. Pick whichever in the customize menu.
May 15, 2026
  • Achievements. Collectable medals across 6 categories (milestones, time, velocity, accuracy, customization, and exploration) for hitting milestones on your WaniKani journey, with a new platinum tier for the rarest unlocks. Visit /achievements to see your collection, also reachable from the command palette.
  • Achievement cloud sync. Opt in to back up your medal collection across devices. Verified once with your WaniKani API key.
  • Public profile medal strip. Your top earned medals appear on your shareable /u/your-username profile, with a "view all" link to the full grid.
  • Public profile pages. A brand-new way to share your progress. Open /share and hit "Create shareable link" to publish a read-only page at wanilog.com/u/your-username. The page shows your rank, level, a day-of-journey counter, burns / Master+ / hours studied, your last 15 level durations, and a "one kanji per level" souvenir grid. Re-sharing always updates the same URL.
  • Profile links unfurl on Twitter, Discord, Slack, and iMessage. A custom preview card shows your level, rank, and headline stats.
  • 日本語. Wanilog can now be used entirely in Japanese. Switch in Settings → Appearance.
  • Customize your home bento. Tap the pencil in the top bar to enter edit mode, then drag tiles into any order you like. Your layout is remembered.
  • Share has its own page. The old cramped modal is split into a dedicated /share page with separate sections for the public profile and the image card.
  • Today's promotions has its own tile. It sits on the home bento, alongside a new Vocab coverage tile.
  • Sync screen redesign. Watch each stage tick off (Profile, Summary, Subjects, etc) with live counts of what's loading.
May 10, 2026
  • Today's promotions. A new page that shows what's lined up to graduate to Guru, Master, Enlightened, or Burned in the next 24 hours. Open it from the Accuracy card on the home page.
  • Vocabulary coverage. A new tab in the coverage section showing how much of WaniKani's vocab you've learned, with a level-by-level breakdown.
  • Leech trainer remembers your filters. If you toggle Hide Apprentice or Exclude recently unlocked on the Accuracy page, those choices now carry through when you start a session.
  • Mnemonics on the back of leech cards. Flip a card and you'll see WaniKani's meaning and reading mnemonics next to the answer.
  • Alternate meanings on leech cards. The flipped side now lists the other accepted meanings under the primary one.
  • Closing the trainer returns you to the leech list. No more being dumped at the top of the Accuracy page.
  • Matcha palette refresh. Cleaner contrasts and more variety so the SRS donut isn't a single-color smear.
  • Radical icons that were rendering as empty squares now show up. The rib cage and a few other legacy radicals were affected.
May 8, 2026
  • Leech trainer. A fullscreen flashcard quiz over the items you keep missing. Tap to flip, mark Got it or Needs work, and the WaniKani audio plays automatically on reveal for vocab.
  • Pick a session size. Practice your top 10, 25, 50, 100, or all of your leeches in one go. Each session takes the worst offenders first.
  • Min mistakes filter. Single-slip 95%-accuracy items no longer flag as leeches. Adjustable down to 1 if you want to see them anyway.
  • Keyboard shortcuts in the trainer. Space flips, Got it / Needs work, replay audio, mute, Esc to close. Listed at the bottom for discovery.
  • JLPT, Joyo, and Frequency share a row. The three coverage tiles sit side by side in the home bento on widescreens.
  • Can I read this is now part of Reading Coverage. It fits more naturally there.
  • What-if pace slider. It now scales the "Somewhere between" range alongside the headline finish date.
May 5, 2026
  • Smarter leech detection. The new default algorithm gives more weight to recent answers, so items graduate out of the list as you start getting them right. Per-axis M/R badges show whether the meaning or the reading is the real problem.
  • Hide Apprentice filter. The leech list can now hide Apprentice items.
  • Share card and coverage page agree on "learned". Both count Guru and above.
  • Vacation mode hides the earliest level-up forecast. The timer is paused anyway.
  • Item tooltips open with keyboard focus. Tab to a chip and the popover appears.
  • Pinch-zoom is back on iOS.
  • Faster coverage on big accounts.
  • Logout clears settings and onboarding. A shared computer no longer leaks between accounts (theme and palette are kept).
  • Demo no longer overwrites your settings. Your goal date, goal level, and manual kanji list survive a demo round-trip.
  • Skip-link for keyboard users. Jump past the nav straight to the content.
May 4, 2026
  • Earliest level-up forecast respects locked kanji. It now adds the wait for kanji that haven't unlocked yet, instead of pretending they're ready to lesson right away.
  • Grid share card optionally includes your vocabulary. Flip on "Include vocabulary" to add every learned vocab item below the kanji grid, colored by SRS stage.
April 30, 2026
  • Theme picker. Pick from Default, 🌸 Sakura, 🖋 Sumi, or 🍵 Matcha. Each has light and dark variants. Open it from the palette icon in the top bar.
April 27, 2026
  • Set a goal level. If you don't plan to reach Lv 60, set your own finish line in Settings. The home hero, projection, share card, chart marker, and coverage forecast all aim there.
  • Joyo grid share card. A second view of the share card with every Joyo kanji laid out by school grade and colored by your SRS progress.
  • Custom start date on the share card. If WaniKani has you down as starting years ago because of a few stray old lessons, override the "X days in" line.
  • Worked example under Unlock / First lesson. The Level-up page now shows one so the difference is clearer.
April 23, 2026
  • Kanji you know outside WaniKani. Paste a list of kanji you already know in Settings (from another app, class, or living in Japan). They count as learned on the coverage pages, reading card, and Can I read this.
April 22, 2026
  • Paginated leech list. See beyond your top 20 with Show more / Show all / Collapse, and a "Showing X of Y" counter.
  • Items grouped by SRS stage within each level. See what's where at a glance; a Group by toggle also flattens the view to pure SRS-stage groups.
  • Kanji blocking your next level-up moved to the Level-up page. It lives next to your level-up history.
  • 100 more loading-screen quips. The Crabigator now has plenty to say while you wait.
  • Install Wanilog as an app. A Settings panel walks you through pinning Wanilog to your home screen or Dock on iOS, Android, or desktop.
  • Splash screen in the installed app. A pulsing Crabigator before the dashboard loads, themed to light or dark.
  • Firefox install guide. Settings now tells Firefox users which browsers support installing Wanilog as an app.
April 21, 2026
  • Catch-up pace for your goal date. When you're behind, the home card and Projection page show what days-per-level you'd need to hit the goal (e.g. "needs ~13d/level, you're at 20d"). The what-if slider updates it live.
  • Coverage page switcher. Jump between JLPT, Joyo, and Frequency from the page header.
  • Smarter leeches. The new Weighted algorithm surfaces items you keep missing despite plenty of practice, instead of fresh items with one slip.
  • Leech filters. Hide burned and Exclude recently unlocked toggles.
  • Wrong count on each leech row. Shown alongside the accuracy %.
  • Tap-to-preview tooltips on mobile. First tap opens the card, second tap opens WaniKani. Desktop keeps hover-to-preview, click-to-navigate.
  • Prominent WaniKani and Jisho buttons. Item popovers now link out clearly to both.
  • Kanji numerals on the level-up chart x-axis. 一, 二, 三 and so on.
  • Optional day-count labels on the level-up chart. Flip them on to see each bar's exact days.
  • Clip outliers toggle. One 200-day level no longer squashes the rest of the level-up chart.
  • Level-up history includes pre-reset attempts. Your timings combine both runs instead of hiding the earlier one.
  • Choose which resets to include. A checkbox per reset.
  • Unlock vs first-lesson toggle. On the Level-up page, measure from when the level unlocked, or from when you started lessons.
April 17, 2026
  • Share your progress. Export a shareable card with your SRS distribution, item counts, and accuracy.
  • Effective pass rate on the Accuracy page. Meaning × reading combined into one number.
  • Current level on the level-up chart. It draws as a blue in-progress bar.
  • Auto-sync on tab load. Fresh data when you open a new tab.
April 16, 2026
  • Live NHK articles on Reading Coverage. Fresh headlines daily.
  • Sort options on Reading Coverage. Best coverage, Best for learning (70-95% known), and Most recent.
  • Load more on Reading Coverage. See beyond the first 10 articles.
  • Kanji tooltips show on'yomi and kun'yomi separately.
  • Non-WK kanji separated on coverage pages. Each links out to jisho.org.
  • Burned items are gold. Easy to tell apart from locked items now.
  • Deprecated WaniKani radicals hidden. The items list isn't cluttered by them anymore.
  • WaniKani start date. Shown on the Projection and Level-up pages.
April 15, 2026
  • Demo mode. Try the full app with fake data, no API key needed.
  • Can I read this? Paste any Japanese text and see how many of the kanji you already know.
  • Critical kanji card. The Projection page shows which kanji are blocking your next level-up.
  • Hover tooltips. On every kanji, vocab, and radical, with links to wanikani.com and jisho.org.
  • Review history in the tooltip. Meaning and reading accuracy plus best and current streak.
