Wanascope is an independent community project and is not created, affiliated with, or supported by the WaniKani team. It may stop working or be discontinued at any time.
Wanascope was inspired by community tools such as Kakehashi, Wanilog, and WKStats. After receiving feedback on the original version, I rebuilt it from the ground up with a different workflow and its own visual identity.
Hi everyone!
I started building Wanascope at level 4 because I kept wondering:
When will I level up, and which reviews matter most?
Missing an important review can delay later SRS stages and push back your level-up. I wanted one place to see what needs attention now, what is coming next, and whether taking more lessons today is realistic.
Wanascope is a free WaniKani companion that helps you decide what to study and when — and now lets you complete lessons and reviews right in your browser:
Today — See reviews due now, level progress, blocking kanji, and your recommended next action.
Plan — Get a realistic lesson recommendation based on your goals and upcoming workload.
Lessons & Reviews — Choose a batch, study directly in Wanascope, and sync completed work to WaniKani. Customize fonts, colors, audio, and review pacing to suit you.
Forecast — Explore upcoming review waves, schedules, and level-up-path items, with optional review reminders.
Progress — Track your pace, Level 60 projection, kanji coverage, and daily study history.
Coverage — Explore GENKI and Minna no Nihongo vocabulary, and compare the words you know with common vocabulary in novels, manga, anime, and more.
Reader — Analyze Japanese text or read supported EPUB and TXT books, highlight familiar words and kanji, and continue saved books where you left off.
You can also connect Bunpro in beta to see your vocabulary and grammar progress in Coverage and include learned vocabulary in Reader.
Your key stays with you
Your WaniKani API key is stored in your browser and sent directly to WaniKani. Read-only keys work for dashboards; enable study permissions when you want to take lessons and reviews.
You can also explore Wanascope in demo mode without connecting an account.
Prefer studying on iPhone? Wanascope is also available as a free native app on the App Store, with lessons, reviews, forecasts, progress, and Reader.
Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are always welcome!
Why are you copying people’s apps 1:1? This looks like a complete Wanilog rip off without crediting the author. You’re level 4 go focus on studying instead of using chatGPT to copy people’s websites
You’re right that I took inspiration from existing tools like Wanilog and WKStats. I used both while learning WaniKani, and they definitely influenced some of the layout and the kinds of information I wanted to surface.
That said, my goal wasn’t to recreate them. I built Wanascope because I personally wanted features that I couldn’t find in one place, especially seeing every upcoming review session, identifying the exact items blocking my next level, and estimating my earliest possible level-up.
I’m still new to WaniKani and also new to building tools for the community, so I’m sure there’s plenty I can improve. If there are areas where you think the UI is too similar, I’m happy to keep evolving it over time.
Yeah, I use AI to help me because English it’s not my native language. I’ve updated the post to acknowledge Wanilog as one of my inspirations. Thanks for pointing that out. In short, everyone has the right to use whatever tool they like
Customize Today lets you pin, reorder, resize, or hide widgets — and reset the layout anytime. This update also brings private backups, richer activity insights, and easier sharing.
You can now open supported EPUB ebooks and text files, see familiar WaniKani kanji and vocabulary highlighted, and automatically pick up where you left off. Your books stay on your device.
Recent updates also redesigned Forecast, Progress, Coverage, and History, and added Japanese across Wanascope.
Heey! I’ve been using the app, is a nice tracker, I like the style.
Something I think would be really cool, if it can integrate with other tools. For example I personally use Bunpro. It would be really cool to track my learning of grammar and vocab there, and then on progress be able to see my frequency, jltp, reading coverage, considering both apps.
A lot of people would be really happy having anki, jpdb and jiten integrations too, I guess.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the late reply, I think we’re in pretty different timezones
Really happy you’re enjoying the app! The integrations idea is really cool, especially Bunpro + Anki/JPDB. I’ll look into whats possible, but it might take me some time to research and build properly.
If I manage to get something working, I’ll ping you here. Thanks again for the idea!!
AI has been a disaster for the web development community on par with the asteroid that hit the dinosaurs. Finally the trend of creating 16 new frameworks in one week will end.
I think you have a cool app. Just needs dark mode. And a review section. Apprentice cards that are due “today”. That’s what i study the most.
Thanks! Just to make sure I understand — by review “Apprentice cards due today”, do you mean you want to study them before their actual review time, like an extra study session? Or do you mean doing the actual WaniKani reviews ?
Imagine starting a new day. I have for example 70 apprentice cards due today. Those are the ones I should study to prime them for my memory. Yeah actual wani kani reviews.
Ahh I get it now, I’ll try to implement this! Actually the Wanascope iOS app already has real WaniKani lessons and reviews, but Apple review is taking forever for some reason lol, it’s been over a month and they still havent reviewed it
I’ll try bringing this to the web version too and add an option for “Apprentice cards due today” like you suggested. I’ll ping you when I got it working
Hey @Pancakes25, added as promised! On Today page, click “Choose batch” under Reviews → Options → “Apprentice today”, then pick a session size and start. It only reviews Apprentice cards already due. Let me know how it goes, im curious!
