📚 Series
Concept
Learning no longer requires interaction.
notaps is a vocabulary-training app you just watch.
Quietly, but firmly, the words stick.
🔹 Overview
notaps is a simple learning app that auto-plays English and Japanese vocabulary.
✅ No operation.
✅ No taps.
✅ No ads.
✅ No notifications.
✅ No login.
So you can "watch when you want to" and "watch even when you are tired."
You just watch — words and meanings flow automatically, settling into your memory little by little but reliably.
Main features

How to use
🟡 Basic behavior
English words display in the center of the screen and alternate with their Japanese translation every few seconds. No operation required — the "no-tap" design lets memory build just from watching.
🧠 Swipe to flag for review
While a word is displayed, swipe left or right to register it in the review list (Lv.Re). Registered words can be reviewed later at the Lv.Re level. Swipe again to remove them from Lv.Re.
🎚️ Adjust display speed
Tap the screen to reveal a slider and progress bar. The slider adjusts word-switching speed between 0.5 and 5 seconds. Long-press the progress bar to reset it.
🟢 Top-icon functions
Star (developer link), level toggle, display order, display mode, voice toggle, color theme, light/dark toggle — all switchable with a single tap.
📘 Recent 100 Words (history)
Tap the screen and a progress bar of recently-seen words appears below the slider. Up to 100 tapped words are saved as history and can be reviewed at any time.
