Your notes stay yours

Start locally. Export anytime.

Kakimono works in the browser and is free to use. No account is required!

Your notes can leave whenever you want: export Markdown, rendered HTML with ruby markup, PDF, or a JSON backup that restores the local app state.

More features for your notes.

  • Custom readings

    Adjust a furigana reading when a kanji has more than one valid reading.

  • Links and tags

    Use wikilinks like [[文法]] and tags to keep related notes discoverable.

  • Clean Markdown notes

    Use headings, lists, quotes, and links without turning your notes into a heavy document editor.

  • More to come

    Kakimono is in beta, with more features coming soon.

Open the app and start writing.
