Tone is the only thing we score with a number. Consonants and vowels get words, not scores — a number there would be dishonest.

The Today screen: a deck to pick up where you left off, the finals and grammar references, and the HSK decks listed with their word counts.
01Home

HSK 1–3, free and complete.

Every word in the first three bands, with spaced repetition that actually schedules — Leitner boxes at 1, 3, 7 and 21 days, kept on your device. Home opens on today’s goal and the card you left mid-take.

02Practice

Tones, scored on your voice.

Record a word and see a score per syllable, not one number for the whole thing. A tone contour is drawn against the target so you can see where you drifted, not just that you did.

No fake precision. Initials and finals get plain-language notes from the speech model — what it heard, what to move — never a number. We tried scoring them; the model rated almost anything in the nineties, including clips it misheard. So we removed the number instead of shipping a lie.

A take on 你好 scored 83 per cent: the spoken pitch drawn over the target contour, with separate tone and timing scores and a note on what to change.
All 36 finals in a grid, each with its pinyin, an example character and an English respelling, any of which can be tapped to hear it.
03Finals & grammar

Reference that drills.

36 finals (韵母) with mouth mechanics and the mistakes each one invites, and 26 HSK 1 grammar patterns with frames and examples. Tap any example and it becomes a card you can record.

04Writing

A writing sheet, not a grading machine.

A 米字格 grid with real stroke data, numbered stroke order, and live right-or-wrong tracking. Handwriting is never scored — it’s practice, and it’s counted, not graded.

The character 你 traced on a 米字格 grid, all seven strokes complete and in order, with the stroke sequence shown beneath.
Progress: accuracy for each of the four tones week by week, one word's history, and the minutes practised.
05Progress

Progress from what you actually did.

Streak, weekly tone trends, per-card history, minutes practised. Every chart is drawn from your stored takes. A week with fewer than two takes is drawn as a gap — we don’t interpolate to make the line look nicer.
