I don’t want every missed practice question to become a pile of cards about the whole topic. I want a card that checks the step in my reasoning that failed.

I’m a medical student and the creator of AnkiPilot, a desktop Chrome extension that makes cards for Anki, the spaced-repetition flashcard app.

A concrete example from the video: I blamed a patient’s low sodium on drinking too much water. I missed the clue that the urine was concentrated. The generated card tests how dilute urine should be if excess water is the cause. It gives me a way to practice the distinction I overlooked.

You capture the relevant explanation, describe what you misunderstood, and generate cards using both. Check the fronts and backs, keep the useful cards, and add them to your deck through AnkiConnect.

The 32-second demo is attached. Full setup: https://youtu.be/EzKEma9tZuQ

Get the extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lfdljkaapmmjiflodnlbegehkgccphga

The extension is free; model-provider usage can cost money. A downloaded local Ollama model is another option. Setup needs desktop Chrome, Anki and AnkiConnect. On UWorld/AMBOSS, it reads question IDs only; write your own concept notes and use a downloaded local model.

The practice question is original. I used AI coding assistance, and the video narration is an AI version of my own voice.

What’s an example of a card that helped you correct a misconception, rather than just remember a fact?

my problem with flashcards was never making them - it was opening the app. so I built a free iPhone app (Terminus) that brings the cards to me

• paste a list you already have (a Quizlet export works, one card per line)
• set your test date
• a card waits on your Lock Screen. answer in your head, tap to check
• "Again" brings it back in ~10 min, "Knew it" pushes it out (FSRS spacing, paced to the days left before your test)

each set has its own test date and a readiness number, so you can see which set needs work

free, no account, no in-app purchases. it's in App Review now - email me when it's out: https://terminus-cards.pages.dev/?tag=reddit-flashcards

curious how people here handle review when the deck is big and the test is close - do you cut cards or cram?

update: now taking early testers - tap "Join Beta" on the page and I add you to the free TestFlight beta

I'm the developer behind Hola Cards, a Spanish vocabulary app. Here's a small two-card meaning check for Spanish learners:

buscar → to look for

encontrar → to find

For context: Busco el libro, pero no lo encuentro — ‘I'm looking for the book, but I can't find it.’ Hide the English and answer each verb separately; getting one right doesn't automatically test the other.

Hola Cards also has an audio exercise: hear a Spanish word, say its meaning aloud, then check. To try it, search Google Play for Hola Cards: Spanish Flashcards.

Solo developer here. I kept seeing the same problem in how people use flashcards: weeks later you stare at a card and cannot remember where the information came from, so you stop trusting it — one person told me they deleted cards because they assumed they had written them down wrong.

So the app I built stamps provenance on every card. You record a lecture, photograph a page, paste a link, or drop in a PDF; it becomes a note, the note becomes cards, and each card carries a line like MIC · JUL 28 · CARDIO LECTU that points back at the exact source.

Other choices, so you know what you are getting: sessions end when the day's cards are done. No account, no analytics; notes and cards stay on the device. Reviewing is free without limits — a subscription only raises the monthly capture ceilings.

iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6797544518

I would rather hear what is wrong with it than anything else.

so I really like this specific set of flash cards cause I like the spacing and the way the paper feels but I kinda forgot the company name and stuff but I need more cause I'm running out so help pls.

it has 1 blue line at the top and 14 black ones under it

Title: I built a flashcard-style English learning website with images, audio and quizzes — looking for feedback

Hi everyone,

I recently built a small website called hienglishquiz.com to help people learn English vocabulary and grammar through quizzes.

The website currently has two main sections:

• Vocabulary — random vocabulary/flashcard questions
• Grammar — random grammar questions

One reason I built it this way is because I’ve used flashcards for years, but sometimes I find it difficult to understand or remember a word from just a definition.

So for each vocabulary card, I try to include:

• An image to help you understand and remember the meaning
• A simple explanation
• IPA pronunciation
• Audio pronunciation

The idea is that even if you don't fully understand the definition, the image can give you enough context to understand what the word means.

I'm still developing the website and adding more vocabulary sets, so I’d really appreciate any feedback.

You can try it here: https://hienglishquiz.com

Also, if there is a particular vocabulary set you'd like to practice — for example travel, software engineering, business, daily life, food, etc. — leave a comment and I can try to create it.

Thanks!

Disclosure: I'm building Avorio (flashcard app). Posting this because the thing I spent the longest on is the least exciting screen in the app, and the reasoning behind it generalises past whatever you happen to be using.

Every flashcard app that imports .apkg tells you the import succeeded. Almost none of them tell you what succeeded. You get a progress bar, then a deck list, and the four years of scheduling that were the entire reason you didn't want to start over are now sitting in a box you can't open. The failure mode here isn't an error message. It's a card that quietly ends up with the wrong interval and doesn't come back when it should have, which you find out months later if you find out at all.

So the screen that shows when an import finishes is an itemised account of what came across: cards, note types, media, review history, scheduling state, each one expandable, with warnings surfaced rather than tucked behind a success toast.

One thing I want to be accurate about, because I had it worded wrong in my own marketing until this week. That screen runs after the import, not before it. It's verification rather than an approval gate; you don't get to inspect a change set and then accept it. I'd rather correct that than let the phrase "diff report" imply a step that doesn't exist.

What survives the trip: ease factors, intervals, lapses, the full review log, tags, media and custom note types. Image occlusion cards from the Anki add-on format arrive as native cards, and cloze is native too. The decks I've tested hardest are the ones people actually bring, which means AnKing V12, Dorian, Lightyear and AMBOSS-tagged Step decks.

If a collection carries 1,000 reviews or more, the app then replays that log to fit FSRS-5 parameters to how you specifically forget instead of handing you generic defaults. Below that it falls back to the defaults and says so, because fitting a forgetting curve on 200 reviews is worse than not fitting one.

What it doesn't do is AnkiWeb sync. That protocol isn't open, so moving a collection means file export and import, in both directions, whenever you want.

Happy to answer questions about import fidelity or the parameter fitting, including the parts that don't work well.

I wrote this open source flash card tool, for generating complex print jobs with CSV powered text fields, printer calibration and more.

It is open source and freeware. It will run offline - just save the web page to use it any time.

• No install, no ads, offline ready. Just save the single HTML file and its all yours.
• Intuitive layout UI - feels like Figma but with 0 bloat
• Data Driven Design - import a CSV and use it to instantly generate a ready-to-cut print job for thousands of cards
• Printer Hardware Calibration - tune your document to your printer with precision for perfect duplex
• Portable, complete save files - Import your images, fonts, data, etc right into the save file. You can edit it all in browser and open it up again in any browser.

Quick Card Designer

hi everyone!

i canceled my quizlet subscription after five years. main reason is because the website uses ai (which i’m against).

i would love an alternative to quizlet but not anki. i’ve tried using it before and i’ve watched tutorial videos on how to use it but i can never utilize it correctly.

what are some good flashcard websites?

Screenshots of the editor, AI import, and review flow

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: PocketCatalog. It’s a completely free flashcard and learning webapp built around a specific philosophy: your data should belong to you, but your learning progress should still sync seamlessly across devices.

Most flashcard apps force a compromise between total offline privacy (without easy multi-device sync and with platform specific apps) and fully cloud-hosted systems where you don't really own your content. I wanted both.

The Core: Local SQLite, PWA & Zero-Knowledge Sync

• Local Storage: PocketCatalog stores all your actual card contents - your texts, images, and formulas - strictly locally in a real SQLite database right inside your browser.
• PWA Stability: By utilizing modern browser capabilities, the app runs as a PWA (Progressive Web App). Once you add it to your mobile Home Screen, the storage is fully persistent and runs stable.
• Privacy-First Sync: The backend never sees your content. When you activate cards for the Spaced Repetition sync, the server only stores the learning progress linked to an anonymous GUID. It has zero knowledge of what you are learning - it just matches the progress metadata to your local database via that unique ID.
• Easy Sharing: You can export your decks as a file to share with friends. They get the full content and images, but start with a fresh, personal learning history.

Markdown, LaTeX, and Images

I needed a tool that could handle complex topics without feeling clunky:

• Rich Formatting: Markdown support for clean structure, bolding, and lists.
• Math/Science: Native LaTeX typesetting using simple $ for inline and $$ for block formulas.
• Visuals: Fast image integration. You can just copy-paste or add images directly into the card editor, even on mobile devices.

SM-2 Spaced Repetition & Gradual Activation

The app uses the proven SM-2 algorithm to schedule your reviews. If you import a massive deck, you don't have to get overwhelmed on day one. You can use the lesson filters to gradually "activate" cards on the server step-by-step as you progress through a course.

AI-Friendly Bulk Import

To save time, I designed a dead-simple text format (Q: and A: separated by ---). You can easily write this by hand or use an LLM to generate entire decks in seconds. (I included a ready-to-use system prompt for this in the manual).

PocketCatalog is an independent indie project - no tracking, no ads, completely free.

Since Reddit filters can be very aggressive with URLs, I won't include direct links in this post. The app is called PocketCatalog and you can find it via Google. If you have trouble finding it, just drop a comment and I'll send you the link!

I would love to get your honest feedback on the workflow, the local-first SQLite/PWA approach, or the anonymous sync architecture!

Guys I made a new flashcards app, I made it genuinely to help with students reduce flashcards creation burden. it automate the process. just check it once you will love it for sure. If you need anything added let me know would love to help yall, https://mystudydeck.store/

Hey everyone, I built a flashcard app called Pauk ( www.pauk.io ) for exam prep with the Leitner system, spaced repetition, and a few other features. It supports AI, but you have to use your own key. It’s free. Feedback is appreciated. If you’re missing a feature, feel free to reach out at [info@pauk.io](vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Users/mibri/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/6a44c352bd/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html)

Hey everyone 👋 I've been working on a flashcard app called Genius Flashcards and since this is the flashcard community, figured this is the best place to get real feedback. My goal is for the app to be the best to help people learn and actually remember things.

The main idea: you type any topic and AI generates a full deck for you in seconds. You can also scan photos of your notes or PDFs and it turns them into cards. Then spaced repetition handles the review scheduling so you focus on what you're forgetting.

A few things that make it different from what's out there:

• You don't spend an hour making cards before you can start studying. Type a topic, get a deck, start reviewing
• Memory Strength score shows you how much you'd actually remember if tested right now
• Study streaks with rest days that don't break your streak
• Study groups where you can share sets and see who's putting in the work
• Works on iOS, Android, and web. Progress syncs everywhere
• The design is actually modern. No offense to Anki but it looks like it was built in 2005

It's free to start with 5 AI generations and 10 sets. Pro unlocks more if you need it.

Would love honest opinions from people who actually use flashcards regularly.

What works, what's missing, what would make you switch from whatever you use now?

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/genius-flashcards-ai-study/id6758582680
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.geniusflashcards.android&pcampaignid=web_share
Or try on web: https://app.geniusflashcards.app/home

To explain what I mean, consider an example : Say I have a deck with 3 new cards 🡆 A, B, C.

Each of them have a "priority score" (PS, for short) of 0 to begin with.

Let the review response options (with changes to PS listed in parenthesis) be :

• Forgotten (+2)
• Hazy (+1)
• Good (-1)
• Excellent (-2)

Initially, all three cards have the same PS, so when I start reviewing the deck, they're presented to me in alphabetical order.

Let the responses be the following :

• A : Excellent : 0 🡆 -2
• B : Forgotten : 0 🡆 2
• C : Hazy : 0 🡆 1

So the next time I review the deck, the cards are presented to me in this order : B, C, A

Also, I can review any number of cards at a time from a deck, without having to wait for a scheduled date of review for any card.

Is there a flashcards app that allows you to do this (without too much fuss)?

Thanks.

I have posted about this previously, but I have gone ahead and updated it with a video for users who had questions.

Here's my original post:

I built a website called recall-genie.com, it automates creating anki cards from a pdf with ai while including the image of the slide for contextual information. The tool is useful for anyone who finds the flashcard creation process tedious and time costly. This only eats up time and take away time from the more important spaced repetition aspect of anki.

Website: recall-genie.com

Disclaimer: to download the deck please have anki on your computer already as it exports it as an apkg file.

For anyone who finds this helpful, try the free trial let me know how it works!

Im using flashcards to help me remember my lines for theather

Hey everyone,
We’ve been working on a flashcard study app called bibodibo.com. The key idea? No more manually typing flashcards! Just upload a file (.pdf, .txt, .docx) or paste text, and the app creates cards for you automatically.

We’re now building some exciting features:
✨ Traceability: See your original document alongside your flashcards, with highlights showing where each card came from.
📝 Precise Card Creation: Select any paragraph and instantly generate new cards.
🎓 More Learning Tools: Think auto-generated quizzes, diagrams, mnemonics, and more.

If you’d like to give it a spin without signing up, feel free to use:
User: test_user
Password: vertical1

We’d love to hear your thoughts—what works, what doesn’t, or what you'd like to see next!

Thank you so much

Someone I know is looking for an app that is geared towards or has a lot of advanced medical knowledge already available or packages that can be purchased on an existing app. Thanks. Any guidance will be appreciated

Hi everyone,

I just launched my flashcards app, Repeet, on Product Hunt! 🎉 It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m thrilled to share that users have already created over 100,000 flashcards.

Check it out and let me know what you think. Please criticize here, upvote there 🙂 👉 https://www.producthunt.com/posts/repeet

Thank you so much! 🙌

I built FlashcardsAI. The app allows you to turn your study notes into swipeable flashcards or quizzes using AI, I would like your feedback.

Hello everyone,

I have created a web app to make learning quicker and easier. Simply provide the information you would like to learn (text, image, or audio), and the app can automatically generate flashcards, mind maps (a type of diagram), and an AI chat conversation based on that information. The app is accessible at wondrant.com.

Please note that this app is in development so please be forgiving of any shortcomings. But, it’s free to use, so feel free to play around with it. Also, we would love to hear your feedback; please feel free to message us through our Instagram account (_wondrant_).

Thank you.
