Hack Chinese

What it actually is

A vocabulary SRS built only for Mandarin: import HSK levels, Integrated Chinese chapters or your own lists, and it schedules reviews with sensible defaults instead of Anki's endless configuration. Good for people who want spaced repetition to just work. It is a paid subscription doing something Anki does free, and like all SRS it teaches recognition, not usage — pair it with reading.
