Reading mode

Everything stays where you already read

No switching tabs to look something up. The extension works directly on the page you are reading.

Reading overlay

Furigana or romaji appear automatically above kanji as you browse, with adjustable size and particle highlighting for words like は, が and を.

Hover dictionary

Hover or select any word to see its reading and definition, looked up from Jisho and cached locally so it stays fast.

Listening player

Select a passage and have it read aloud with the Web Speech API, with play, speed and volume controls and synced text highlighting.

Built to stay out of your way

Reading and text segmentation happen locally in your browser. The only outside request is a dictionary lookup to Jisho when you ask for a definition — nothing else is collected, stored or sold.

Konnichiwapp Reader is under active development. Features and availability may change before launch.
