KaiReader is an application that helps you learn foreign languages by reading real news every day. The app is currently available on iOS and Android, supporting up to 13 languages. KaiReader compiles the day's news into a minimalist reading interface, with tidy pagination, making it easy for you to look up and learn new words you just encountered.

Regardless of which user group you belong to below, KaiReader will be your ideal companion:

For language learners: Textbooks are often dry, while "learning by playing" apps sometimes make it hard for you to read a news article smoothly. With KaiReader, you can read fresh news every day in the language you are learning. The app displays pronunciations right above each word (Furigana for Japanese, Pinyin for Chinese, IPA for English). You just need to tap to save a word, listen to sample pronunciation, read aloud to get instant pronunciation feedback, and then review using the spaced repetition method.

For those who like to read slowly, love minimalism: If you're afraid of eye strain from your phone screen or are annoyed by cluttered advertisements, KaiReader has a Clean mode that eliminates all unnecessary components. The reading experience now feels friendly like real paper, highly optimized for e-ink reading devices (such as BOOX Palma or similar screens). You do not need to create an account — all reading data, vocabulary, and pronunciation are safely stored on your device.
