Key Features

We only support real news sites from genuine sources and current events.

The reader is crafted for Chinese learners, with light and dark mode plus adjustable spacing and font size.

Built-in offline-first dictionary with Pleco integration support.

Chinese is hard, so segmentation and pinyin can be turned on or off while reading.

High-quality translations for every sentence in English, Spanish, Indonesian Malay, Russian, and Arabic.

Bookmark the exact sentence so you can jump back to where you left off in long articles.

Most features work offline and your data stays on your device, not on our servers.

The app will never have ads, and most features remain free. The project is open source.

Use AI to simplify news articles at 1x and 2x levels, making them easier for HSK4-HSK6 readers.

Review new words, including person, place, and organization names before reading.
