Why InputDojo
Anki is the gold-standard SRS — and a notoriously clunky one. InputDojo uses the same SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm but auto-creates cards from words you tap while reading, ships with pre-built JLPT/HSK/CEFR decks, and runs anywhere without sync headaches. You can still export to Anki anytime if you want.
