Make Fuguro fit your day.
Fuguro works out of the box, but a few dials let you set the pace. Most of them live on your Account page under Preferences. A couple sit where you actually use them: the reader's own toolbar, and the light or dark theme in your menu. Nothing here is permanent, so change a setting, see how it feels, and change it back if you want.
Every dial, and where to find it.
The default sits in the corner of each card. These are starting points, not rules, so move them whenever your routine changes.
Daily goal
Lessons and reviews you aim to clear each day. Drives the ritual ring and your streak.
Lesson cap
How many new lessons a single session hands you, so you are never buried at once.
Reviews cap
How many reviews a single session serves before it wraps up.
Show romaji
Print the romaji spelling next to readings in Core Ascent lessons.
Reader controls
Furigana, translations, page size, and a toolbar you can tuck away, all set inside a story.
Theme
Light or dark. Saved on the device you are using, not your account.
Set the pace of your daily study.
Open Account and look at the Preferences card. Each control saves the moment you tap it, so there is no Save button to remember.
- Daily goal
The target your day is measured against.
Choose how many lessons and reviews you want to clear in a day: 10, 20, 50, 75, or 100. This is the number the daily ritual ring on your dashboard fills toward, and hitting it is what grows your streak. Pick a goal you can hit on a busy day, not your best day.
Changing your goal resets your streak. A new goal needs a clean slate, so the streak starts again from today. Fuguro asks you to confirm before it does, so you will never lose a streak by accident. - Lesson cap
How many new items at once.
A new level can hand you a lot of lessons. The lesson cap (5, 10, 15, 20, or All) limits how many a single session serves, so you learn in steady batches instead of facing the whole pile. It only shapes the size of a session. It never touches your streak, and the rest are still there waiting when you come back.
- Reviews cap
Keep a review session a sitting, not a slog.
When a wave of reviews comes due, the reviews cap (25, 50, 75, 100, or 200) caps how many one session puts in front of you. Anything over the cap simply waits for your next session. Like the lesson cap, it changes nothing about your schedule or streak. It just keeps a single sitting a reasonable length.
- Show romaji
Latin spellings, on or off.
With this on, lessons print the romaji (the Latin-alphabet spelling) next to each reading, a helping hand while the kana are still settling. It is off by default, because reading the kana directly is the faster path. This toggle appears once you reach Core Ascent, where it applies to the vocabulary you study there.
Tune the page to the way you read.
Open any reading story and a toolbar of controls sits above the text. Your furigana and toolbar choices are saved for next time; translations and page size start fresh with each story.
- All furigana
The master switch for reading hints.
Furigana are the small kana printed above kanji to show how they sound. Turn this on to see them over every word in the story, or off to read the bare text. It is the master control: with it off, the lesson switch below has nothing to show.
- Lesson furigana
Hints on the words you have already learned.
This narrows furigana to only the words you have already drilled in lessons. We suggest leaving it off: you have studied these words, so you should already know them, and reading them without help is how you confirm they truly stuck.
Not sure of a word? Turn it on. If a word you once learned still trips you up, switching lesson furigana on gives you a gentle safety net, without revealing the reading on every other word on the page. - Translations
Reveal the English when you want it.
Show translationsreveals the English for every sentence at once. Prefer to check yourself a line at a time? Leave it off and tap a single sentence's number to show just that one. Reading first and checking second beats reading the English up front.
- Page size
Make the text bigger on a wide screen.
The A buttons grow or shrink the reading column, spreading it into the empty space beside the page for larger, easier text. They show up only on desktop when there is room to grow, so you will not see them on a phone.
- Hide toolbar
Clear everything away and just read.
Hide toolbar folds the whole control bar out of sight for a clean, quiet page. It stays hidden across stories until you bring it back, so once your settings feel right you can tuck the controls away for good.
Switch the theme from your menu.
Inside the app, click your profile, your name and avatar at the bottom of the sidebar, to open the menu, then choose Toggle Theme to flip between light and dark. On the public pages, the same switch sits in the top navigation. The theme is saved on the device you are using rather than your account, so each of your devices can keep its own look.
Dialed in. Now the rest of your account.
