Pocket Hanzi

Learn Chinese every time you glance at your phone. A new character on your lock screen — with pinyin, meaning, and audio — plus daily words picked just for you.

Pocket Hanzi turns the moments you already spend on your phone into real Chinese progress. Every time you check your lock screen, a new character is waiting — with pinyin, meaning, an example sentence, and native audio. Learn a few words a day, without ever sitting down to "study."
