Flow Concept

The best moments usually occur when a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.

Learning Modes

Switch anytime to match your stage — from first exposure to full recall

Typing Mode

Every hint on screen

See it, type it — full romaji with every hint visible

Cloze Mode

Hints fade as you improve

Hints disappear step by step until you're typing from memory — active recall that makes it stick.

Dictation Mode

Train your ears

Audio only, no visual hints — connect sound directly to spelling.

Learn with Eyes, Ears, and Fingers

Typing, watching, listening, and shadowing — every sense working on the same sentence.

Typing Practice

Muscle memory builds with every keystroke, until kana and vocabulary live in your fingers.

Visual Focus

A high-contrast, distraction-free layout keeps your eyes on word forms and sentence order.

Listening Input

Dictation ties pronunciation to spelling, so you recognize words by ear, not just by sight.

Shadowing

Repeat out loud as you type, closing the loop between listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Built for Focused Practice

Minimal distraction, instant feedback, and practice that engages your hands, eyes, and ears

Immersive Input Training

Type continuously to build muscle memory, until kana and vocabulary flow from your fingers on their own.

Instant Feedback & Visualization

Right and wrong are obvious at a glance, so you stay in rhythm instead of stopping to check.

Five Learning Modes

Progress from full hints to kanji-only text, full recall, and pure dictation as you improve.

Progressive Course System

From kana to N1, organized by chapter and section so you set the pace.

AI Instant Explanation

Tap once after typing a sentence to get grammar breakdowns, usage notes, and comparisons with similar expressions.

AI Smart Q&A

Ask anything about what you're studying and get personalized answers, with furigana, right in context.

FAQ

Does FlowType work on mobile?

FlowType is built for desktop, where typing practice works best. Mobile works but is limited for now, and we're improving it steadily.

Do I need an account?

No — you can practice without signing in. Create an account when you want your progress synced across devices.

How is my data saved?

Practice data is stored locally first. After you sign in, it syncs to the server so you can pick up on any device.

Does it work offline?

Partially. Once a lesson has loaded, core practice keeps working on a weak or offline connection; some features still need the network.

Are new courses added over time?

Yes. We keep expanding vocabulary and practice material, and user feedback shapes what we add next.
