Mochi 98, the Cozy Language-Learning Desktop
A pastel Windows 98-inspired desktop that combines flashcards, language references, notes, documents, games, and everyday productivity tools.
Field notes
The desktop bundles spaced-repetition cards, searchable grammar materials, offline dictionaries, writing and presentation tools, calendars, timers, and a character-matching game into one environment. Its language coverage includes Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, with references to HSK, JLPT, and Kanken or JIS character lists. The page also describes optional local Qwen models through Ollama, while users can leave the assistant disabled entirely.
