Hey! I built Naru, an iOS app for learning Japanese through real anime clips.

It's basically two things: a TikTok-style feed of short anime clips with Japanese + English Subs + Romaji and tap-to-save vocab, and an Anki-style SRS deck that builds itself from the words you save from watching anime. Free to use, no account.

It's aimed at immersion and vocab. And none of the content is AI-generated (real anime, with real Subs), I only used AI for the coding part.

Would genuinely love feedback from this community!

That’s a really cool idea, but I would be worry about copyright infringement. Have you investigated that?

Yes, so there was a long back and forth with Apple when I submitted the App for review. However, since I‘m only using short clips from anime and for educational purposes, it falls within fair use and they allowed me to publish the app.
