InkSeal is an iOS app for English-speaking beginners learning to recognize Chinese characters. Long-press a hanzi to reveal a visual mnemonic built around its strokes, then study components, high-frequency words, lookalike characters, and spaced reviews. Built for learners who want Chinese characters to feel memorable instead of arbitrary.
Hi Product Hunt, I’m the maker of InkSeal.
I built InkSeal because Chinese characters can feel beautiful but arbitrary when you’re just starting out. Most apps ask beginners to memorize, trace, or drill. InkSeal starts with recognition: look at the character, long-press to reveal a visual mnemonic built around its strokes, then study the components, useful words, lookalikes, and spaced reviews.
The app includes:
- 1,799 HSK-subset characters
- 5,300 featured character-word examples
- 3,562 confusable character pairs
- First 100 characters free
- No subscription, no ads, no required account
I’d love feedback from Chinese learners and language-learning app builders: does the visual reveal make characters feel easier to remember, and is anything confusing in the learning flow?
