A complete study loop, not a pile of tools

Draft cards from your material, study them on a schedule, quiz yourself under exam conditions, and track what is sticking. Every feature exists to keep that loop turning.

PDF to flashcards

Drop in lecture slides, a textbook chapter, or rough notes. Deck Drafting reads for key concepts, definitions, and relationships, then turns them into question-and-answer cards.

  • A 40-page PDF becomes a deck of draft cards before your coffee cools
  • Edit, merge, or delete every draft before it enters your deck
  • Write cards by hand anytime. AI is always optional

Spaced repetition

Every card you study gets its own schedule. Rate a review and the algorithm pushes the next one further out: days, then weeks, then months.

Each review lands right before you would forget, so a few minutes a day does the work of a pre-exam cram. No guessing what to study tonight; the queue already knows.

Active recall quizzes

Exam-mode quizzes make you produce the answer, not pick it out of a lineup. Retrieval is the effort that builds memory. Recognition is not.

  • Quizzes built from your own cards, not generic question banks
  • Grading that shows what you actually know, per deck
  • Missed cards go straight back into your review queue

Progress that means something

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

  • Retention and streaks tracked per deck
  • A due-today count you can plan your session around
  • Analytics that flag decks going stale before the exam does

Expert-built decks

Do not start from a blank page. Browse community and expert-built decks for languages, certifications, medicine, and more. Then make them yours.

  • Languages, certifications, medicine, and more
  • Copy any deck into your library and edit every card
  • Mix expert decks with decks you draft yourself

Sync everywhere

Native iOS and Android apps, not a shrunken website. Decks and progress sync in the background, so a review started on your laptop finishes on the train.

Offline study comes with Premium: sync before you leave, review without a connection, and everything catches up when you are back online.
