Every word in English
and မြန်မာ
Myanmar learners usually study Japanese through English. Kotoba Master shows both meanings side by side, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Built to scale to 10,000+ words
Native SwiftUI with an architecture designed for every JLPT level, not just the first.
MVVM + Services
Declarative SwiftUI views, Combine-driven view models, and a service layer of use cases and repositories that keeps business logic out of the UI.
A recycling card pager
The flashcard deck reuses a pool of three views, so memory stays flat whether a deck has twenty cards or thousands.
Level-scoped data
Vocabulary ships as one file per JLPT level for fast, low-memory loading, with an in-memory index for features that span levels.
IDs as a contract
Stable, self-describing word IDs. A validator in CI fails the build if a released ID is removed or reused, and renames migrate user progress on launch.
N5 today, N1 tomorrow
The complete N5 course is available now. The data model is ready for every level after it.
