Stop doomscrolling · Start learning
Learn Japanese vocabulary one swipe at a time.
Tango turns the motion you already know into focused Japanese practice. Tap to reveal, then swipe. Spaced repetition brings back what you miss until it sticks.
Free to start · $9.99 one-time premium · No subscription
No data tracking. No data linked to you. Tango stores only your practice progress.

Short sessions
Swipe through a few words while waiting for coffee, commuting, or winding down before bed.
Useful context

Adaptive review
Words you miss return sooner, so your practice time goes where it helps most.
A focused choice
What Tango doesn't do (and why)
Tango is intentionally focused. If you want every feature in one app, it may not be the right fit—and that's okay.
No grammar drills
By design. Tango complements the grammar, reading, listening, and conversation tools you already use.
No custom decks
We curate the vocabulary so you do not have to spend time building another study system.
No subscription
One payment unlocks Premium forever. There is nothing to cancel and no renewal surprise.
No kanji practice yet
Kanji can come in future word packs. Today, Tango stays focused on vocabulary and kana recognition.
