Flashside is the flashcard app that plans your learning for you. Make cards for anything — vocabulary, kanji, anatomy, exam questions — and spaced repetition brings each one back at the moment you are about to forget it: after minutes while it is new, then days, then weeks. A few focused minutes a day beat hours of cramming. YOUR PLAN FROM ONE NUMBER Tell Flashside the minutes you have a day and, if you have one, the exam date. It sets the pace, says plainly whether the date is within reach, and every grade button shows when the card will come back. Free for everyone. EXAM PREPARATION • Exam mode: in the last weeks before the date, the deck is drilled until it holds • Quizzes from your own cards, written by hand or generated by AI; the result keeps your answer beside the right one • A memory chart for every collection: how much you would recall today, the last 30 days, and where it goes if you stop • Start a collection over for the next exam without losing its history PERSONALISED LEARNING AI A coach that plans your days, fixes the cards you keep failing and quizzes you before the exam — it never answers for you. • New words come back after a few minutes, and the pause adapts to how well they stick for you • Card doctor: when a card will not stick, it suggests better ways to write it. You pick the fix, or none • A coach card every Monday with what to change this week, and why you missed a card you were sure of • Reminders that move to the hour you actually study Remembering stays your job, because that is the part that makes you learn. EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE Your cards, collections and progress live on your phone. Study on a plane, in the subway, off the grid — no account, no connection, no waiting. Sign in with one tap when you want sync, sharing or the web app at flashside.app, never before. CARDS THE WAY YOU THINK • Rich text, colours, images and audio on both sides, read aloud on request • Flip the direction, shuffle, hold the card to take back an answer • Import ready-made decks from CSV or Excel, paste a list with your own separators, or photograph a page (Plus) • Share whole collections with classmates and friends • Search every card and study from the one you found EARN IT Every session ends on a reward screen: your score, last time's, your streak, and now and then a badge sweeping in. Dozens of badges are hiding in Flashside — for showing up, flawless sessions, mastered collections and a few things you will have to discover. MAKE IT YOURS • Five colour themes, each in light and dark • Clean, fast, distraction-free design • Available in 18 languages LEARNING STAYS FREE Writing and studying cards, the plan, the memory chart, exam mode, syncing and sharing are free, and your cards always belong to you. Flashside Plus is an optional subscription for extras that cost us money to run: natural read-aloud voices, translation, quizzes, the card doctor, importing from a picture and the coach's explanations. Each one is clearly marked, and nothing is charged without your consent. Whether you are learning a language, prepping for med school, collecting kanji or just tired of forgetting names — start with one card today. Your future self will thank you at review time.

Create your own original question sets and efficiently study with a spaced repetition schedule tailored to the forgetting curve. ◆ Creating Question Sets ◆ ● In addition to questions and answers, you can also add explanations and pronunciation. In addition to the basic question-answer format of flashcards, you can also add explanations and pronunciations. You can toggle their visibility based on the situation. ● Images can also be added. By adding images, you can create questions that cannot be expressed in words alone. It's also useful for visual memorization. ● Supports adding multiple answers Unlike the typical flashcard one-question-one-answer format, you can add multiple answers to a single question. This is convenient when a single word has multiple meanings. ● Supports automatic voice reading If you want to have items read aloud automatically, you can select a language, and it will read aloud the questions during the presentation. This can be useful for listening practice and more. ◆ Enhancing Learning Efficiency ◆ ● Three learning modes There are three modes: Choice Mode, Typing Mode, and Test Mode. You can change them according to your learning progress and preferences. ● Learning management by mode Instead of having one schedule per item, learning progress is managed separately based on question orientation and presentation method. This ensures more effective memorization. ● Customizable question scope You can set the range and number of questions to be presented from your flashcards. You can also change the order and orientation of presentation. ● Automatic learning progress tracking Learning progress is automatically tracked just by solving problems. It can avoid presenting items that you already know to some extent. In review mode, you can also schedule reviews according to the forgetting curve for longer-term retention. ● Manual learning progress management You can manually mark cards you want to check individually. Of course, you can use this information to set the items to be presented during the quiz. ● Setting spaced repetition schedules according to the forgetting curve Shortly after learning, forgetting tends to happen relatively quickly. However, through review, you can correct the forgetting curve. After a certain period, the rate of forgetting slows down. It is said that reviewing around the time when you are about to forget is the most effective for memory consolidation. In this app, the review items in review mode are automatically scheduled for appropriate review dates and times. ● View your learning records You can view your weekly and monthly study time in graphs, as well as your total study time. ◆ Other Features ◆ ● Compatible with Mac, allowing editing and viewing on any device Since it is also compatible with Mac, you can use it on your favorite device according to your convenience. ● Changeable theme colors You can change the theme colors to your liking. ● Backup via iCloud and sync between devices You can back up your data with iCloud, so you don't have to worry about data loss. You can also share data between devices. ● Automatic backup feature You can automatically back up all your data every time you start the app. ● Lock the app with a password You can lock the app with a password to securely store your data. ● Data import and export feature You can freely import and export data. This allows you to exchange data with others or use your data in different apps. ● Import in CSV format It also supports importing in CSV format, so you can create question sets in your preferred app or import question sets you've created in the past.
