HSK on iPhone
HSK vocabulary, on the Lock Screen
For iPhone, iOS 16.4 or later
Level order, then frequency
The curriculum is 10,863 words from the HSK 2025 vocabulary. HSK 1 is 299 words, and each of those has a page here. Higher bands are lists you can scan.
A placement check, not a forced start at 我
The check aims new words around your current level and still looks at earlier foundations. You can also read the lists and start wherever you like.
The level you are on stays visible
Words from your path rotate on the Lock Screen through the day. Example sentences, tone marks, and audio are in the app. Simplified or traditional.
An HSK list vs an HSK habit
A word list tells you what to learn. The widget is where those words show up between study sessions.
| HSK list | Dayword | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A table of words | The same words, on the Lock Screen and in review |
| Order | Whatever the PDF used | HSK level, then frequency, after a placement check |
| Memory | Up to you | Spaced review with Again and Got it |
| On this site | Often a scanned chart | HSK 1 pages with pinyin, meaning, and an example |
