HanziCrush: Write Chinese

A story after every character, in your family's language. Calm, offline, no ads.

HanziCrush teaches children aged 3 to 6 to write Chinese characters, one stroke at a time, in a calm app made for small hands.

HOW IT WORKS Watch a character being written, trace it, trace it again with a fading guide, then write it from memory. Each stroke is checked gently when it ends: where it starts, which way it goes, and its shape. Mistakes get a soft hint, never a buzzer or a red X. Grading adapts to your child and to the age you choose (3–4 or 5–6).

CHARACTER FAMILIES 93 characters in 16 families: people, trees, sun, mouths, water, fire, family, body, sky, numbers, animals, colours, plants and more. Related characters are learned together, and new characters grow from ones your child already knows: 木 + 木 = 林.

A STORY AFTER EVERY CHARACTER Finish a character and hear its little story, read aloud in your family's language: English, Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin or Cantonese, with the words on screen. Grown-ups can read every story ahead or switch stories off.

MANDARIN OR CANTONESE, SIMPLIFIED OR TRADITIONAL Every character and every bit of encouragement is spoken. Traditional characters come with their own stroke order.

MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS Big picture buttons and one short line of guidance on each screen. A friendly companion, a little world that grows with every character, painted paper your child reveals by writing, a sticker album, and a playground with character stamps. Save your child's own writing as a moving picture to share with grandparents.

FOR GROWN-UPS Up to six children on one device. Replay your child's real handwriting, see progress and what to review next, choose voice and script. Grown-up screens in English, 简体 or 繁體.

CALM BY DESIGN No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no streaks or timers. Works fully offline. Nothing leaves the device.
