InkSeal

InkSeal is a calm iOS app designed for English-speaking beginners to learn Chinese characters (hanzi) through visual mnemonics. It turns each character into a memorable scene by embedding the character's structure inside an illustration. Key features include:

• Visual mnemonics: Long-press a character to reveal a picture that keeps the stroke structure visible.
• Component breakdowns: Learn recurring radicals and components to understand character composition.
• Spaced repetition: Review characters before forgetting, with special attention to confusable pairs.
• HSK coverage: 1,799 hanzi from HSK subsets, 686 components, 11,809 words, and 3,562 confusable pairs.
• Calm design: No ads, no subscriptions, no account required. One-time purchase of $29.99 unlocks full library.
• Free trial: First 100 characters free with no commitment.

Use cases: Self-study, supplement to broader language courses, focused character recognition practice.
