Tone Colors

Characters colored by tone for instant visual recognition. The same system used across all Loqu8 apps.

Morpheme Decomposition

N-parts breakdown shows you why a word means what it does. See how characters combine into compounds — no other popup dictionary does this.

Offline Text-to-Speech

Spaced Repetition

FSRS-6 algorithm schedules reviews at the optimal moment. Save words to favorites, track your history, export to CSV or Anki.
