The original
Bunpro
A spaced-repetition study platform for Japanese grammar and vocabulary, on the web and mobile.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Bunpro.
Renshuu
A Japanese study app for vocabulary, kanji and grammar, with dictionaries and games.
Renshuu covers Japanese vocabulary, kanji and grammar together with JLPT-filtered dictionaries and games, on web, Android and iOS, instead of focusing mainly on grammar.
Anki

Anki is an open-source spaced-repetition app where you build or download your own Japanese decks, with free sync on most platforms but no built-in grammar course.
Also worth comparing
