Anki's spaced repetition algorithm, minus the setup — with real decks ready to study on day one. Decks uses the same proven algorithm Anki users rely on to show you cards right before you'd forget them. Rate each card Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and the schedule adjusts automatically. READY-TO-STUDY DECKS Jump in without building anything first: - Japanese — Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, Grammar - Spanish, French, and Chinese vocabulary - TOEFL vocabulary Or build your own — unlimited decks and cards, any subject. ASK ABOUT ANY CARD Stuck on why an answer's right (or wrong)? Tap Ask for an explanation of that specific card, right when you need it. BUILD CARDS FROM A PHOTO Point your camera at a textbook page, or pick a screenshot of a vocabulary list, and Decks turns it into cards. Review each one before it's added. WHY DECKS - Full spaced repetition with Again/Hard/Good/Easy ratings - Tap a rating, or drag the card — whichever is faster - Study offline, anytime - Retention stats and day streak tracking - Search, merge, and reorder your decks HOW IT WORKS 1. Start from a curated deck or create your own 2. Study daily — the algorithm handles scheduling 3. Rate each card by how well you remembered it 4. Cards you struggle with come back sooner 5. Watch your retention improve over time Cards you answer easily won't reappear for days or weeks. That's the point — the gaps are what make things stick, and Decks tracks them so you don't have to. FREE VS. PREMIUM Free: study every day, with a daily review limit that suits a steady habit. Premium: set your own daily review limit, as high as you want.
