JLPT vocabulary, one glance at a time. The kanji waits alone, the way the test asks it; the reading and meaning arrive on the tap.
Reading kanji is the skill the JLPT actually tests. Furigana upfront would answer half the card, so here, your memory goes first.

One tap on the bolt and the feed deals rounds back to back: three choices, a fast clock, and a streak to keep alive.
A word you have seen, three meanings, a few seconds on the clock. Getting one wrong never touches your progress.
A real sentence with the word blanked out; pick the word that completes it. Vocabulary proves itself in context.
Quiz the words you have glanced or your whole deck, set each kind's clock, and let rounds speak themselves as they arrive.

Reading kanji is the skill the JLPT actually tests, and furigana upfront would answer half the card. So the kanji waits alone, you try the reading, and the furigana and meaning arrive on the tap. Words written in kana show their reading upfront, because the reading is the word itself.
There is no session to sit down for. The word waits on the screen you already look at dozens of times a day, you recall it before you tap, and the meaning arrives with a real example sentence. Learning happens in the seconds you were going to spend anyway.
