Hanzi Pad

Hanzi Pad is a focused Chinese handwriting workbook for iPad. Write with Apple Pencil or your finger. Each character follows a simple four-step rhythm: • Trace a clear guide • Trace a lighter guide • Copy from a small reference • Write independently Each character is spoken in Mandarin when it appears, using the iPad’s voice. Move at your own pace: • Tap the stroke-order guide to replay it • Tap the speaker to hear the character again • Undo removes your last stroke, and the bin clears the page • Use the arrows, or tap the character at the top, to choose another character • Turn on shuffle to go through a pack in random order • Open the sidebar to switch packs or learn the stroke order rules and stroke names • With “Only Draw with Apple Pencil” turned on, a resting hand never leaves a mark Built for quiet, distraction-free practice: • Realistic Chinese practice grids • Packs for the 26 basic strokes, 30 starter characters, HSK 1 and HSK 2 • Animated brush-stroke order guidance • Brush-like ink that follows your Pencil • Mandarin pronunciation • Apple Pencil or finger input • Works completely offline • No account, ads, analytics, subscriptions or tracking Hanzi Pad is intentionally small. It does not grade your handwriting or turn practice into a game. It simply gives you a calm, beautiful place to write.
