Look up any kanji in seconds, right from your wrist. Kanjure lets you draw a kanji on your Apple Watch and instantly see its readings and meanings. No phone required. Perfect for when you're reading, studying, or just curious about a character you've spotted. What makes Kanjure 2.0 different The new version uses a machine learning approach that's never been done on watchOS before. The result: you can draw kanji however you want. Forgot the stroke order? Doesn't matter. Drew it in six strokes instead of eight? Still works. The recognition engine understands what you meant, not just what you drew perfectly. This is handwriting recognition that works the way your brain does—not the way a textbook says it should. Fast and focused Kanjure is built specifically for the Apple Watch. It's fast, lightweight, and designed for quick lookups when you need them. No subscriptions, no accounts, no unnecessary features. Draw. Recognize. Done.

Last update:
Kanjure 2.0 — Completely Rebuilt This is the biggest update since launch. The handwriting recognition engine has been rebuilt from the ground up using a modern machine learning approach—a first for watchOS. What this means for you: • Draw kanji however feels natural. Stroke order doesn't matter anymore. • Use as many or as few strokes as you like. The app figures it out. • Recognition is dramatically more accurate, even for complex characters. • Everything feels faster and more responsive. If you've ever been frustrated by strict stroke-order requirements, this update is for you.
