Proper Strokes

Forgotten how to write characters after years of typing? Proper Strokes for iPad pairs Apple Pencil handwriting with spaced reviews to keep your Traditional Chinese handwriting muscle memory alive. Practice one deliberate stroke at a time—quick cursive swipes won’t register—so every session reinforces the real form.

Built from a stroke-level input engine, Proper Strokes rewards careful writing with instant guidance and a review schedule that respects your time. You choose the phrases, the app handles the review timing, and the progress bar only fills when each stroke lands in place.

How Proper Strokes supports your practice:

- Stroke-by-stroke feedback that reveals form issues before you move on.
- Personal phrase library with optional Zhuyin hints so you practice the words that matter.
- Spaced review planner that surfaces due characters right when you need them.
- Challenge Mode drawn from a 3,000-character library for guided discovery beyond your list.
- Privacy-first design: no accounts, no ads, optional "Support the App" purchases for fans.

No internet required—your handwriting data stays on your iPad. Works best with Apple Pencil, but mindful finger or third-party stylus input is welcome.
