I always used wkstats but wanted something that actually worked on my phone. So I built Wanilog: a fast, phone-first WaniKani stats dashboard. It installs like an app, works offline after the first sync, and runs in your browser.
You can try it with no API key - just hit “Try the demo” on the login page.
Features
📈 Real finish-date projection
Forecasts when you’ll hit level 60 (or any goal level) from your actual per-level history - median pace, a confidence range, and milestone dates you can export to your calendar.
See how much real Japanese you can read, kanji by kanji - frequency-weighted across the top 2,500. Paste any text into “Can I read this?”, or skim live NHK headlines colour-coded by what you already know.
See how many kanji you have reached Guru on against the JLPT levels, the 2,136 official Joyo kanji (broken down by school grade), and the top-2,500 most common kanji - so you know exactly where you stand on each list.
Exactly which kanji are blocking your next level, how close you are to the 90% Guru threshold, and the earliest you could realistically advance given the SRS timers.
Plan the grind instead of just reacting to it. Set a daily lesson pace and see your projected review load anywhere from 7 to 180 days out - including reviews from lessons you haven’t even unlocked yet.
Your correct rate per item type and per SRS stage, including an effective pass rate (\text{meaning} \times \text{reading}) and an estimate of total hours studied.
Plus: optional public profile pages, a ⌘K command palette, a full Japanese UI, and four colour themes.

Install it like an app
It’s a real PWA. Settings → Install app gives you step-by-step instructions for your exact browser, on iOS, Android, or desktop. Once installed it launches from its own icon and works offline.
I’ll try it for a while, but right away it seems nice. First thing I thing I’d like to see changed would be the “What if you were faster?” …. It has me averaging 21 days per level. Lately I’ve been slower than that. It would be nice to see what 25 days per level looks like. I’m definitely more likely to ponder going slower than faster at this point.
I like it so far, just wish the burn vs not learned on the kanji map were easier to tell apart. Since both are grey, it’s a little confusing. I liked the yellow that wkstats uses.
I discovered the “Reading coverage” page which is pretty interesting. For NHK Easy news it shows a bunch of 100% coverage headlines that are all quite old. I’d love a way to see the best articles (for me) over the last n weeks.
Thank you! I also noticed when I was looking at the kanji map for jlpt, that the last couple hundred n1 kanji there is no more referencing to Wanikani. Are those kanji not on Wanikani? Would it be possible to put those separated like wkstats does? It’s a little abrupt for the kanji to suddenly not say anything or link to anywhere.
No worries. Unfortunately the NHK Easy website has no reliable way to get the latest articles, so I decided to just remove this for now. I’ve added some new options to the regular NHK - you can now filter by “Best coverage / Best for learning / Most recent”. Hope that helps
Hey everyone, I have added a new sharing feature - you can now make a copyable “Spotify Wrapped” esque card which you can share with others. Example below:
I disagree. Accuracy in our srs reviews simply reflect what % of questions were answered correctly. So, if we were tested on 10 meanings and 10 readings and we got 9 meanings correct and 7 readings correct, we get 90% for meanings and 70% for readings. And, in total we got 16 items correct out of 20 items for an accuracy of 80%.
Multiplying the 90% and 70% figures to get “total” or “effective” accuracy occurs in the realm of probabilities where the outcome of the subsequent event is dependent on the outcome of the first event which isn’t the case in our srs reviews.
Please return your accuracy calculations as you had it before.
My interpretation is different, since I consider one kanji (or one vocabulary item) as a unity of meaning AND reading(s). So in your example: If we tested 10 meanings and 10 readings it is still only 10 items that got tested.
Or in other terms: Only when I can recall the meaning AND reading of an item, I consider it as learned. It is indeed similar like probabilities: Accuracy is the probability that I can remember the meaning AND reading of a kanji/vocab.
