YomiNote
"Modern Markdown desktop editor with built-in Japanese reading aids"
YomiNote is a desktop Markdown editor purpose-built for Japanese reading and writing. It automatically adds furigana to kanji and surfaces English glosses for katakana loanwords, with a clean side-by-side live preview that keeps focus on the text. Powered by kuroshiro/kuromoji morphological analysis and a JMdict-backed dictionary, it runs fully offline.
