HeyWrite - Learn to write

Learn to write Japanese kanji, Korean hangul, and Chinese hanzi — stroke by stroke, the way native speakers actually learn. HeyWrite is the mobile-first handwriting practice app for kanji, kana, hangul, and Chinese characters.

Unlike flashcard apps or vocabulary drills, HeyWrite builds real muscle memory. Your hand learns the correct stroke order for every hiragana, katakana, kanji, hangul, and hanzi character — so when you need to write, the characters come naturally.

✍️ WRITING BUILDS MEMORY

Research consistently shows that handwriting beats passive study for character recognition. HeyWrite guides you through the exact stroke order taught in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese schools. Correct stroke order is the difference between readable handwriting and scribbles — and it makes recognition faster, too.
