Mame, Kana Desktop Companion

A kana study companion

Mame, Kana Desktop Companion is a PC study tool built around a small black bean-cat with glasses that sits in a corner of your screen. It gives you short Japanese reading and recall prompts while you work, browse, or play, rather than asking you to start a full-screen lesson.

Cards and spaced repetition

Each prompt is a single card: read a kana character or recall a word. Answer with a click, or dismiss the card for free. The game uses spaced repetition to bring back material you’re nearing the point of forgetting, along with new characters that need more practice.
