日 Hanzi Daily

Chrome extension · New tab

Learn one Chinese character every time you open a new tab.

You open 20 tabs before lunch. Hanzi Daily turns each one into a 20-second lesson: pinyin and recorded audio, stroke order you can trace, a real example sentence, and a review that comes back exactly when you would forget it.

学 The Hanzi Daily new tab page showing a single character card with pinyin, tone colour, meaning, example words and a sentence.

700 characters, taught properly.

The Chinese primary-school curriculum, ordered by HSK level and real-world frequency — so the first hundred characters are the hundred you will actually see.

Recorded audio, not generated speech

2,199 recordings: 685 characters, 1,214 example words and all 300 sentences. The 15 rarest characters use your system voice.

Stroke order you can trace

Animated strokes for all 700, with a tianzige pad for the 300 guided writing targets. Every finished writing target becomes a seal.

Spaced review that sticks

Grade with one key. Again, hard, good, easy — the scheduler does the rest.

Pinyin with tone colours

First tone red, second green, third blue, fourth purple. Polyphonic readings included.

Words and sentences

1,214 example words and 300 sentences with natural English translations.

3,000 years of history

Oracle-bone, bronze and seal forms for 142 characters, plus 137 character illustrations.

A real study app

Today, Writing, Library, Progress, heatmap, streaks, daily goals and a review cap.

Private and offline

No account, no analytics. Progress stays in your browser and works without a network.

Quiet enough to live in your browser.

Paper and ink, light and dark — the card stays out of the way until you look at it.
