Write normally in Markdown, without turning your notes into a language drill. Kakimono keeps the page quiet so you can focus on the sentence in front of you.

Furigana appears only where it helps. Pick a JLPT level, or connect WaniKani, and Kakimono hides readings for kanji you already know.

Turn on Japanese grammar highlighting to color nouns, verbs, particles, adverbs, i-adjectives, and na-adjectives.
