Features & Capabilities

Chinese characters are not just shapes — learn 1000 characters in months by understanding their structure and origin. Hanly uses visual breakdowns and engaging stories to help you develop an intuitive grasp of Chinese characters and to efficiently remember them.

Card-based learning brings etymology, mnemonics, and memorable illustrations to life. The app features an intuitive interactive UI for exploring radicals, components, and character relationships, a carefully designed progression from simple blocks to complex words, and a comprehensive dictionary with search by character, pinyin, or meaning. Built-in spaced repetition optimizes review timing, and you can track statistics, add notes, and mark characters you already know.

Hanly is highly praised as a free, high-quality tool for learning Chinese characters. Reviewers highlight its mnemonic-based explanations, etymology, and contextual stories that make learning intuitive and engaging. The clean, structured UI and spaced-repetition approach help build reading and writing skills. Content depth and connections between characters, primitives, and vocab are a strength.

This is is the first time I’ve managed to stick with learning Chinese characters. The app is incredibly easy to use, very intuitive, and explains things really well. Hands down the best one I’ve found! Kudos to the designers, this app is so good I’m actually leaving a review. Genuinely a beautifully-designed app.
