Mochi Sensei is your all-in-one JLPT study companion — SRS flashcards, mock exams, kanji, grammar, and a personal AI tutor. Built for N5 through N1.
No more juggling five different apps and a stack of textbooks. Mochi Sensei brings vocabulary, grammar, kanji, listening, and speaking practice into one calm, focused place.
A proven spaced-repetition algorithm schedules every review at exactly the right moment, so words stick in long-term memory instead of slipping away.
Timed exams across all 5 JLPT levels with vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening sections — auto-scored with detailed review afterward.
115 kanji characters with onyomi, kunyomi, stroke counts, and mnemonics that actually help them stick — not just flashcards to memorize.
Every word and sentence includes natural text-to-speech audio, so you build listening comprehension right alongside vocabulary.
Daily streaks, an XP leveling system, and 14 achievements keep you coming back — studying Japanese should feel rewarding, not like a chore.
Your progress, streaks, and flashcard history sync automatically across every device signed into your iCloud account.
Warm, focused, distraction-free — swipe through the actual app.





Mochi Sensei uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm — the same science behind the world's best flashcard apps.
A vocabulary word, kanji, or grammar point appears with native Japanese audio.
Try to remember it before flipping — active recall is what makes it stick.
Tell Mochi Sensei how well you knew it, and the algorithm adapts your next review.
Cards graduate through learning stages as your retention rate climbs.

"I tried three other JLPT apps before this. Mochi Sensei is the first one where the flashcards actually match what shows up on the real test."
"The streak system is dangerously motivating. I'm on day 38 and my kanji recall has never been better."
"$1.99, one time, no subscription — I almost didn't believe it. It's genuinely more complete than apps charging monthly."
Yes. Mochi Sensei costs $1.99 once — no subscriptions, no recurring charges, no premium tier hidden behind a paywall. Every feature, including all future JLPT content updates, is included.
No. Mochi Sensei is fully offline-first — vocabulary, kanji, grammar, flashcards, and mock exams all work without a connection. iCloud sync and the optional AI Sensei chat require internet.
AI Sensei is an optional chat tutor for grammar help, corrections, and conversation practice. It uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models first, and can fall back to your own OpenAI or Claude API key. No extra app purchase is required — you simply provide your own key if you want that fallback.
All five: N5 through N1, with vocabulary, kanji, and grammar content for each level, plus timed mock exams that mirror the real test format.
Mochi Sensei runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18.0 or later, with study progress syncing automatically across your devices via iCloud.
