One app. Every part of the JLPT.

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.

🧠

Smart SRS Flashcards

A proven spaced-repetition algorithm schedules every review at exactly the right moment, so words stick in long-term memory instead of slipping away.

📝

Realistic Mock Exams

Timed exams across all 5 JLPT levels with vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening sections — auto-scored with detailed review afterward.

🈷️

Kanji, Made Memorable

115 kanji characters with onyomi, kunyomi, stroke counts, and mnemonics that actually help them stick — not just flashcards to memorize.

🔊

Native Japanese Audio

Every word and sentence includes natural text-to-speech audio, so you build listening comprehension right alongside vocabulary.

🔥

Streaks, XP & Achievements

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.

How it works

Study smarter, not harder

Mochi Sensei uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm — the same science behind the world's best flashcard apps.

1

See a card

A vocabulary word, kanji, or grammar point appears with native Japanese audio.

2

Recall the answer

Try to remember it before flipping — active recall is what makes it stick.

3

Rate your confidence

Tell Mochi Sensei how well you knew it, and the algorithm adapts your next review.

Again Hard Good Easy
4

Watch it move: New → Mastered

Cards graduate through learning stages as your retention rate climbs.

こんにちは!Ready to practice today? Try asking me to correct a sentence.
Is「私は学生です」correct for "I am a student"?
Yes, that's perfect! 私は学生です (watashi wa gakusei desu) — natural and grammatically correct. Want to try a harder sentence?

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is it really a one-time purchase?

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.

Do I need an internet connection?

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.

What is AI Sensei and do I need to pay extra for it?

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.

Which JLPT levels are covered?

All five: N5 through N1, with vocabulary, kanji, and grammar content for each level, plus timed mock exams that mirror the real test format.

What devices does it support?

Mochi Sensei runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18.0 or later, with study progress syncing automatically across your devices via iCloud.
