These are the ones I’ve got installed, and I find them all very helpful: * * * **Ultimate Timeline** - Immensely helpful for scheduling lessons and reviews. If I could only have one script installed, it would be this one. > [@\[Userscript\]: WaniKani Ultimate Timeline](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-ultimate-timeline/10516): > > WaniKani Ultimate Timeline New Maintainer:@prouleau has taken over development of this script (thank you!).

When I get a mix-up, this script lets me compare the differences right away, and I can also see what else is similar when I’m learning new ones. > [@\[Userscript\] Niai 似合い Visually Similar Kanji](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-niai-%E4%BC%BC%E5%90%88%E3%81%84-visually-similar-kanji/23325): > > warning This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely. Niai Visually Similar Kanji by acm This is the stable release of my latest script, Niai Visually Similar Kanji! This is a completely new implementation, and a substitute for the old [Wanikani Similar Kanji](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-similar-kanji/8905) script, and a more full-featured version of Wanikani’s own Visually Similar Kanji section. Installation I… * * * **Keisei Semantic-Phonetic Composition** - I have this for _“The More You Know”_ 🙌 🌠 but it’s actually pretty helpful for knowing how close some of the radicals are to Kanji meanings. Sometimes I’ll add synonyms to radicals if they don’t already match the Kanji meaning, based on this script. > [@\[Userscript\] Keisei 形声 Semantic-Phonetic Composition](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-keisei-%E5%BD%A2%E5%A3%B0-semantic-phonetic-composition/21479): > > warning This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team.

I have the Leech Threshold set to 2, as that way it shows actual problem items instead of stuff I just typo’d. > [@\[Userscript\] WaniKani Dashboard Leech Tables - Notice your leeches](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-dashboard-leech-tables-notice-your-leeches/33124): > > warning This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team.

When the English is right there underneath, it’s hard not to see it even if you’re trying not to peek. This is a handy-dandy little script that lets you translate in peace and then see if you were right. > [@\[Userscript\]: Hide Context Sentence Translation](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-hide-context-sentence-translation/11215): > > Hide Context Sentence Translation [image] In response to [[request thread](https://community.wanikani.com/t/Request-Default-hide-button-for-translation-of-example-sentences/11181/1)], here is a userscript for hiding the English translation of Context Sentences on the Lesson, Review, and Item pages. The translation is hidden under a gray box, and is revealed when you hover your cursor over the box. warning This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team.

[[Download here](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/14844-wanikani-hide-context-sentence)] * * * For third-party sites, I always use these two: **[KaniWani](https://www.kaniwani.com)** - Reverse recall for the vocab is extremely helpful and important. KaniWani really helps me nail the order and reading of vocab words, and I know both the vocab and the Kanji so much better once I’ve done them on KaniWani. Definitely make use of the “add synonym” function in the later levels as actual synonyms start to pile up. **[WKStats](https://www.wkstats.com/#progress)** - A wonderful stats site that shows you where you’ve gone, where you’re going, and how you’re doing overall. Great to play with the projections and see if you can challenge yourself to meet your speed goals, as well as see how your Kanji knowledge stacks up alongside Japanese grade-school lists and JLPT lists. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.wanikani.com/t/favorite-or-must-have-scripts-and-apps/33878)._
