Kanso Focus

See more.
Choose your move.

When you feel stuck, one small gesture is enough. For a moment, Kanso becomes your personal Go coach, revealing several promising areas — while leaving the choice entirely to you.

  1. 01
    Gesture

    Bring two fingers together on the board.

  2. 02
    See possibilities

    Promising areas appear directly on the board.

  3. 03
    Your move

    The hints fade. You decide where to play.

Focus highlights promising legal moves, not win probabilities. Games played with Focus are not eligible for highscores.

Kanso thinks entirely on your device, using a bundled, licensed KataGo engine. Playing needs no internet connection or sign-in. Choose your challenge: 15k and 8k in Free; 3k, 1d and Master with Premium.
