How it works

From a blank page to fluent recall

Three steps, one honest promise: you spend your time remembering, not formatting.

  1. 01

    Bring your material

    Drop in a PDF, lecture slides, or rough notes. Deck Drafting turns them into question-and-answer cards you can edit.

  2. 02

    Study in short sessions

    Cards reappear right before you'd forget them. Answer from memory, flip, rate how it went. A few minutes at a time.

  3. 03

    Watch it stick

    Intervals stretch from days to months. The forgetting curve flattens, and the material stays put.

Features

Everything you need to master new material

A serious study tool with a mascot, not a toy. Every feature exists to move facts into long-term memory.

PDF to flashcards

Drop in a 40-page PDF and get a deck of draft cards before your coffee cools. Each card is editable. Each one is yours.

Spaced repetition

A scheduling algorithm plans each review for the moment you're about to forget. No cramming. No guesswork about what to study tonight.

Active recall quizzes

Exam-mode quizzes make you retrieve answers instead of recognizing them. That effort is what builds memory.

Progress that means something

Streaks, retention, and due counts show how far each deck has come, and what is waiting for you today.

Expert-built decks

Start from community and expert decks for languages, certifications, and more. No blank page required.

Sync everywhere

Native iOS and Android apps with offline study and background sync. Your reviews are ready wherever you are.

AI Deck Drafting

You bring the material. It drafts the cards.

Upload a PDF or paste notes. Deck Drafting turns them into Front & Back, Term / Definition, and Fill-in-the-blank cards. You review, edit, and approve every draft before anything enters your deck.

  • Three card types: Q&A, term/definition, and cloze blanks
  • Every draft is editable before it enters your deck
  • Write cards by hand anytime. AI is always optional

Sustainable AI

AI is just one small part of AnkiCat

AI drafts study content from your material. Quiz answers are scored against stored answers. A Student Pro subscription includes a limited number of AI credits. Extra packs are not for sale. Subscribe in the app. The store shows the price in your currency.

AI where it helps you study

AI helps draft study content. Quiz scoring, spaced-repetition scheduling, and sync do not need generative AI.

Credits included, never hidden

Student Pro includes 10 AI credits every month. Credits accumulate up to 120, and each lot expires 365 days after it is granted.

No extra packs

When the allowance is gone, subscribe or wait for the next cycle. Extra credit packs are not sold.

We keep generative AI optional and visible on purpose. Data centers that run it use real compute, electricity, and water. So it does not run in the background across the app.

You choose when to use it, and you always know where it runs.

FAQ

Questions about studying with AnkiCat

How the app, flashcards, and study tools fit together.

Is AnkiCat an Anki add-on?

No. AnkiCat is a standalone study app. It is not an Anki add-on, not a cat theme pack, and not affiliated with the Anki desktop project. Both use spaced repetition as a technique, but AnkiCat is its own product with its own apps.

How does AnkiCat generate flashcards with AI?

Upload a PDF, paste notes, or type a topic. Deck Drafting finds key concepts, definitions, and relationships, then drafts question-and-answer cards you can edit before they enter your deck. You can always add cards by hand. The AI saves typing; it does not take over.

What is spaced repetition?

A review schedule backed by decades of cognitive psychology. Instead of re-reading everything at once, each card reappears right before you would naturally forget it. Long-term memory gets stronger with less total study time than cramming.

What is active recall?

Retrieving an answer from memory before you look at it. Every AnkiCat card makes you answer first, then flip. That small effort builds durable memory better than re-reading or highlighting.

Which features use AI?

AI drafts study content from your material. Quiz answers are scored against stored answers. Student Pro includes 10 AI credits each month for Deck Drafting, accumulating up to 120, with each lot expiring after 365 days. Extra packs are not for sale.
