Why we built ZenHanzi
ZenHanzi expands the Codiosity product direction into education tooling. The idea is simple: if we see the lock screen dozens of times a day, why not use it to learn? The real challenge is in the UX, making the app feel helpful, not intrusive, while respecting Android rules around the lock screen.
If you have been waiting for a lightweight way to learn Mandarin that you can keep up every day, the upcoming ZenHanzi launch is the right moment to try it. And if you or your team have another education product idea you want to build, the Codiosity team is happy to help design and build it.
