Kinako support

A quiet place to get unstuck.

Help with studying, importing, iCloud sync, voice downloads, purchases, and your privacy.

Email support

Write to support@memoize.studio. Include your iOS version, device model, and the steps that led to the problem. Please do not send private card contents, recordings, or purchase credentials — they are never needed to help you.

My decks are not syncing

Confirm that iCloud Drive is enabled for Kinako on each device, then open Kinako while connected to the internet. Your library stays available locally while iCloud catches up. Sync uses your own iCloud account, so both devices must be signed in to the same Apple Account.

An import did not look right

Kinako accepts pasted text, CSV, TSV, JSON backups, Kinako decks, and common Anki packages. Preview the detected cards before saving. If columns are reversed, swap term and definition in the preview.

Voice playback needs a download

Natural voices use an optional model that downloads only after you approve the size prompt. Keep Kinako open until it finishes. Built-in system voices remain available without that model.

A purchase is missing

Open Kinako Complete or Settings and choose Restore Purchases. Use the same Apple Account that bought Kinako Complete. It is one lifetime purchase, not a subscription.

I deleted a deck by accident

Check Recently Deleted in your library. Removed decks and cards wait there before they are cleared, so a mistake is usually one tap from being undone.

I want a copy of my library

Use Export from a deck's options, or export your whole library from Settings. The file is plain and readable, and it can be imported back into Kinako at any time.

Listen Mode stops when I lock the screen

Start Listen Mode from the deck before locking, and leave Kinako as the active audio app. If another app takes over audio, return to Kinako and start the session again. Passive listening does not change your review schedule.

The widget or Watch app looks out of date

Both refresh from your library on the device. Open Kinako on the iPhone once while it is unlocked, and give the Watch a moment while it is in range to pick up the change.
