## What is Ankilock?

Ankilock turns the moments you spend unlocking your phone into moments you spend learning.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create flashcards for anything you want to remember — vocabulary, exam notes, facts, phrases, anything at all.
2. Choose the apps that distract you the most.
3. Every time you try to open one of those apps, Ankilock shows you one of your own flashcards first. Answer it, and you're through.

Every flashcard is written by you, so it's always relevant to what you're actually trying to learn. Prefer not to start from a blank page? A few optional starter decks (Spanish basics, world history, human anatomy) come pre-loaded so you can try Ankilock right away — delete them anytime.

FEATURES
• Unlimited flashcards
• Organize cards into decks, and choose which decks show up on the lock screen (pick more than one, change anytime)
• Review your cards anytime inside the app — not just when a blocked app is opened
• Block as many apps as you like
• Import cards in bulk from a CSV file
• Track your learning history and recall rate
• Adjust how often cards appear
• Works entirely on your device — your card content and activity data are never sent anywhere

Ankilock requires a subscription to unlock the full app after a free trial. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings.
