Finally Remember
Every Character You Learn
I'm autistic and ADHD. I kept failing at Chinese because most apps weren't designed with brains like mine in mind. So I built one that was.

míng - "bright"
Picture the sun (日) and moon (月) side by side in your kitchen, creating beautiful bright light streaming through the window. Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it.
I'm Lee. I'm autistic, probably ADHD, and I spent months failing to learn Chinese characters. Duolingo gave me a 200-day streak and zero ability to read a menu. Anki decks piled up faster than I could review them. Video courses overwhelmed me before I finished lesson one.
Then I found memory palace techniques — and they actually worked. Myndarin is the app I wished existed: calm, focused, and designed for brains like mine.
You've Tried This Before
You're not broken. Most apps just assume a neurotypical learning style.
Cluttered interfaces, notifications everywhere, too many options. Decision paralysis before you even start.
Miss one day and the app punishes you. Streaks create anxiety, not motivation.
Hours of prerequisite videos demanding sustained attention. Can't skim, can't go back easily, can't learn at your pace.
I know because I tried all of it. And I kept forgetting.
There's a Better Way
Instead of memorizing shapes, you'll build unforgettable scenes.
Every Chinese character becomes a mini movie in your mind. 明 (bright)? Picture the sun and moon side by side, lighting up your kitchen. Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it.
Why Myndarin Sticks
You'll actually retain what you learn
Memory palaces are backed by decades of cognitive science. They work because your brain is wired to remember places and stories — not abstract symbols.
You'll learn meaning, sound, and writing together
No more juggling separate apps. Every character comes with its pronunciation, tone, and stroke order built in.
You won't dread opening the app
Short lessons. Clear endpoints. No streaks guilting you. I designed it for people who find most learning apps exhausting.
It's built for ADHD and autistic brains
Short lessons (working memory friendly). Predictable patterns (reduces cognitive load). No time pressure (respects ADHD time perception). No streaks (no guilt spiral). Text-first (you control the pace).
