Field notes
The page lists minimum platform versions and provides separate macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android downloads. It says first launch can install dictionaries such as Jitendex and JPDB frequency, and that users can also watch and look up words without connecting Anki. Download caveats are explicit: the Mac app is not notarised and the Windows installer is not signed. The project also identifies its license and describes a limited anonymous daily usage count.
