作者について
Made by a Japanese learner, for Japanese learners.
I started studying Japanese a few years ago and quickly hit the kanji wall. Every news article, blog post, and tweet turned into a research project — pause, copy, paste into a dictionary, lose the thread.
Existing tools were either too rigid (showing furigana on everything, including the kana I already knew) or asked me to configure dictionaries and pick word lists. I just wanted to read.
Hannari is what I wish I had when I started. If it helps even one other learner stop stalling mid-sentence, it's worth it.
よくある質問
Frequently asked
Why pay if Yomitan is free?
Yomitan is a great dictionary tool — Hannari isn't trying to replace it. Yomitan asks you to configure dictionaries and click each word you want help with. Hannari is for moments when you want to read: turn it on and furigana just shows up where you need it. Different jobs.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time payment for lifetime access. No monthly charges, ever.
Does it work on any site?
Yes — any page with Japanese text. NHK, Yahoo News, Twitter/X, Reddit, blogs, and most in-browser e-readers.
Do you have access to what I read?
No. Hannari processes everything inside your browser. We never send page content to a server. Your reading is yours.
Can I use it on multiple devices?
Yes. Pro syncs across up to 5 devices on the same account — your settings, your custom lists, and the kanji you've marked as learned.
How do I cancel?
Pro is a one-time payment, so there's nothing to cancel. If you change your mind within 14 days, email us — we'll refund, no questions asked.
Is there a mobile version?
Mobile is in active planning. Anyone who buys Pro today will get mobile access included when it ships — no upgrade fee.
Stop getting stuck on kanji.
Hannari is free to install. Read your first Japanese article without breaking flow in under a minute.
