Designed for children just learning to write
Stroke order is easiest to get right when a child first learns to write. ZenoWorks Stroke Order brings demonstration, practice, motivation and a record of progress into one flow.
Stroke-by-stroke demonstration with instant feedback
Each character is first shown as an animation, then your child writes it. A wrong stroke is pointed out right away, and Brushy, the little writing brush, shows what comes next.
- Works with a finger or a stylus
A reason for your child to keep practising
Every character learned earns a gacha spin and a collectible animal, and a complete set earns a badge. Stars earned from practice can be exchanged for rewards that parents set themselves.
- Reward goals are set by parents
A writing book page when you finish
Everything your child writes is recorded and laid out as a writing book page, stamped with the date and a stroke-order seal, ready to share with the teacher.
- Adjust the layout to the teacher's request: squares per row, rows per character
- Optional reading cells for zhuyin, pinyin or kana
- With Plus, save as a PDF or image and print at notebook size
Practice what school teaches
No extra materials needed. Characters the teacher posts in the class group can be practised at home the same day.
The teacher posts the characters
Today's characters go in the class group chat.
Parents paste them into the app
Copy the characters and paste them into "Today's characters" to add them all at once.
Your child practises
Write each one in the right stroke order, then hand the writing book to the teacher.

FAQ
Which grades is it for?
It suits primary school children who are just starting to write and are learning characters, especially in the lower and middle grades, when children are learning new characters and stroke-order rules at the same time.
Can it replace a paper writing book?
ZenoWorks Stroke Order handles learning stroke order and keeping a record of the writing, and the finished writing book can be handed to the teacher. Writing on paper builds the feel of handwriting, so we suggest using both.
If I buy Plus, can I use it on a new phone?
Yes. Use the same Apple ID on the new device and choose "Restore purchases".
Do you offer school or class licences?
If a school or class would like to use it, please write to us at support@zenoworks.studio.
