JFC for Mac OS X - A free Japanese Flash Card Program
Version 1.20b5 - Site Last Updated 2004-03-30
News: There will be no updates for a bit, while the program is converted to Cocoa.
JFC is a flash card program for learning Japanese. This OS X port is based on the excellent Windows version by Glenn Rosenthal and features the same smart features such as showing a missed card more times, automatic card generation using a dictionary, ability to add example kanji, keyboard shortcuts, an inspector for character info, and extensive configurability.
Requirements
Mac OS X 10.x (tested and works on 10.2.8)
A Japanese font installed (OS X by default installs the Japanese language kit)

If you're interested in localizing the program, I can provide help. All the strings are either in Localizable.strings, InfoPlist.strings, or main.nib. If you want, I can generate a single XML file for your language that has all the strings in one place.

JFC is a Mac OS X program and was designed to be fully Aqua-compliant. This means that the interface should be familiar to any OS X user. The 2nd shot is a mockup of the forthcoming authoring mode.
