A Chinese Anki Alternative Built on FSRS
A Chinese Anki alternative has to answer two worries: is the scheduler as good, and where do the cards come from? Chenjin's answers: it runs FSRS-4.5, the same modern algorithm serious Anki users install, and cards come from real reading, one tap at a time.
No note types, no deck options screen, no add-ons to keep alive after an update.
The scheduler without the settings screen
FSRS spaces each review to land just before you'd forget, and Chenjin runs it for every card with zero configuration. Your vocabulary map shows the result: known words accumulating across the HSK levels without an evening of deck surgery.
Cards with their context attached
The words worth learning are the ones you meet. While you read, any word becomes a card in one tap, and any sentence can become a sentence card with its translation. No screenshotting, no field-filling, no switching apps mid-chapter.
Mined sentences with real audio
From video study, one click saves a subtitle line as a card carrying the video's own audio clip, a screenshot, and a drafted translation, the setup Anki users build with three add-ons and an evening of configuration. Part of the Plus plan, 7-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my Anki decks?
There's no .apkg import. What you can do is paste word lists to mark vocabulary as known in minutes, so article difficulty calibrates to everything you've already studied. Your Anki review history stays in Anki.
Is the scheduling genuinely comparable?
It's FSRS-4.5, the same algorithm family modern Anki setups use, applied per card with no tuning required. What you give up is Anki's endless configurability; that's rather the point.
What are the free limits?
The free plan allows 5 new cards a day up to a 100-card deck, enough to feel the workflow. Plus removes both caps. And if you'd rather keep Anki after all, Chenjin can send cards straight to your own decks instead.
