67 ready decks, plus your own cards. Rappelia brings each card back just before you would forget it, so what you study stays. Open the app, pick a deck, start studying. That's the whole onboarding. What you get: - 67 ready-to-study decks in English and French: algebra, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics, statistics, health basics, personal finance, computer science, and 11 decks for the French baccalauréat. New decks are added regularly. - Your own decks: type your cards in seconds. - Cards come back on a schedule: the ones you find hard come back sooner, the ones you know wait longer. Each answer button shows when you will see the card again. The schedule follows the SM-2 method: each answer sets how long that card waits. - Study the way your day needs: learn new cards, review what is due, or cram before a test. - Study Notes: attach a video, an audio note, or a link to any deck so context lives next to the cards. - Streaks, achievements, weekly leaderboard with friends. Turn them on if you want, ignore them if you don't. - Dark Mode. Study offline. iPhone and iPad. - iCloud sync across your devices using your Apple ID. No separate Rappelia account to create. The cards you write stay on your devices and in your iCloud. Free and Premium: - Free: every ready deck and your own, up to 10 decks of 75 cards at a time, with statistics, streaks and friends. - Premium: unlimited decks and cards, import and export (CSV, TSV, JSON), and AI that drafts cards from a topic (needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, or an iPad with an M chip). The cards are drafted on your device, not on a server. Monthly or yearly, cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Built by Pitsana, in Europe.
