I failed plenty of exams simply because I didn’t have a study system that actually worked, until I discovered flashcards and built this app. If you’ve ever sat in the library wishing your study setup wasn’t a chaotic mix of screenshots, half finished notes and 20 open tabs, Flashtex is the app that finally fixes that. Download now or keep failing exams. Think of it as your reliable place to learn flashcards the way real university students study: actual equations, real cases, real diagrams, real vocab. Not just simple Q&A cards. You can write cards in LaTeX, structure them neatly with Markdown, add images or even draw diagrams by hand. It feels natural, fast and actually enjoyable to use. Instead of forcing you into some rigid workflow, Flashtex just adapts to your style, whether you’re more of an Anki person, a Quizlet convert or someone starting fresh. With spaced repetition built in, you study less but remember more. Everything syncs automatically across iPhone, iPad and Mac, so you can revise on the bus, in the hallway before class or during that awkward 4 minute break between lectures. Whether you’re memorizing anatomy, reviewing legal cases, solving physics problems, drilling algorithms or learning a new language, Flashtex keeps your study routine sharp without overwhelming you. HOW IT WORKS – Create your cards: Write flashcards exactly the way you think: LaTeX for maths & physics, Markdown for clean structure, handwriting for quick sketches or images when visuals help. Perfect for med school notes, case law references or step-by-step proofs. – Build organized decks: Set up decks for every class, topic or exam. No limits, no clutter. – Smart spaced repetition: Flashtex figures out when you should review each card so you don’t forget. You stay on top of things without drowning in constant revision. – Study anywhere: iCloud keeps everything synced. Works offline too, so terrible campus Wi-Fi can’t stop you. BUILT FOR • Med students tracking endless anatomy & terminology • Law students memorizing cases, definitions & frameworks • STEM learners using LaTeX heavy content • Language learners drilling vocab & grammar • Anyone who came from Anki or Quizlet and wants something cleaner and simpler • University level learners who want a serious study tool, not a toy WHY YOU NEED FLASHTEX • Create useful flashcards with LaTeX, Markdown, images, handwriting, whatever works for you • Perfect for advanced subjects like medicine, law, physics, maths & CS • Offline mode for studying anywhere • Clear, simple progress stats • Text-to-speech, perfect for vocab & language study • Daily reminders so you don’t forget to study • Easy import and export so your decks work with Anki, Markdown and CSV • Distraction-free interface EXAMPLE USE CASES • Draw anatomy diagrams by hand and label them on the spot • Format dense legal cases into clean Markdown flashcards • Write physics and maths equations using LaTeX that actually renders correctly • Create algorithm walkthroughs with text + diagrams • Use text to speech to practice language vocab on the go • Turn your messy lecture notes into structured decks that self update via spaced repetition QUICKLY FIND & ORGANIZE • Decks for each class or subject • Cards scheduled for review today • Tags and folders for huge study collections • Important cards before exams or quizzes SHARE YOUR STUDY MATERIAL • Export decks to classmates or study groups • Share flashcards in formats compatible with Anki/Quizlet style workflows • Swap courses or vocab sets easily FEATURES • LaTeX & Markdown flashcards • Handwriting support (Apple Pencil & touch) • Spaced repetition built-in • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac • Offline learning • Import/export in multiple formats • Images & text-to-speech • Widgets for home screen and lock screen • Unlimited decks and cards Privacy Policy: flashtex.app/privacypolicy Terms & Conditions: flashtex.app/terms
