Unlimited flashcards with spaced repetition. No account. Import Anki, review on Apple Watch, and sync privately with iCloud. Spaced Repetition Swiftflip uses an FSRS scheduling model to bring each card back shortly before you would forget it. Flashcards Make cards with text, a picture, and audio together on each side. Organize cards into decks, search across them, and edit a card in the middle of practice. Across Your Devices Pick up where you left off with iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Practice on Apple Watch for quick due-only sessions on the go. Focused Practice Tap to flip, then mark answers to keep moving. A short sound plays when you mark a card, and you can look over every card when a session ends. Hints show you how to flip and mark cards the first time, and Swiftflip follows accessibility settings like Reduce Motion. Practice Both Ways Turn on Practice Both Ways for a deck to keep separate Front → Back and Back → Front progress. Build Custom Practice sessions with the decks, first side, order, size, focus, and retries you choose. Pause Reviews Pause a card or a whole deck when you are not studying it. It stays in the library and comes back with its schedule when you resume. Import & Export • Import from Anki (.apkg / .colpkg) • Import and export CSV • Export as a Swiftflip archive for backup and sharing Shortcuts Use the Shortcuts app and Siri to add a card, practice due cards, practice or open a deck, search your library, view decks, and view insights.
