Remember everything you learn. Azri (formerly Simple Anki) uses the FSRS algorithm, the most advanced spaced repetition scheduler available, to predict exactly when you will forget each card and schedule your review at the perfect moment. The result is 90%+ long-term retention with less study time. CARDS THAT MAKE THEMSELVES Stop building decks by hand. Give Azri your material and it writes the cards for you. Paste your notes or type a topic — Azri turns it into a deck in seconds. Snap a photo, drop in a PDF, or record a lecture — Azri pulls out the text, you review and edit it, then it generates the cards. Pick a card style or create your own, so every deck matches how you study. Add AI pronunciation audio to the front of your cards, generated automatically when you save. SMART FLASHCARDS Azri goes beyond basic flashcards. It tracks the stability, difficulty, and retrievability of every card, then automatically adjusts your schedule based on how you actually perform. No manual intervals. No guessing. Add images and audio to make concepts easier to remember. Use a rich card editor with LaTeX for formulas, auto-translate, and multilingual keyboards. Organize your learning with color-coded decks and folders. Choose card layouts that fit your study style: front-to-back, back-to-front, or combined. STUDY YOUR WAY Study in a way that matches how you learn and what you need to retain. Spaced repetition with science-backed scheduling that targets long-term memory. Quiz mode for active recall with instant feedback. Typing practice to lock in answers by typing them out — with character-by-character feedback that even catches missing accents. Shuffle or sequential study order for maximum focus or consistency. Track retention rates, streaks, and your review history to see progress over time. NOW ON THE WEB Azri isn't just on your phone anymore. Open any web browser on your computer, scan the code with your iPhone camera to sign in, and pick up exactly where you left off. Review your cards on a bigger screen and build or edit decks with a full keyboard — everything stays in sync across your devices. (Available with Azri Pro.) IMPORT & SYNC Already use Anki?

About

Learner

Features
Read full description

Learner is an English vocabulary trainer for Russian speakers. Every English word is learned paired with its Russian meaning, and it's built on a spaced-repetition algorithm: the app decides which word to show you and when, so it sticks in your long-term memory with minimal effort. No cramming word lists. Every day is a short session of flashcards, picked for your level and your progress. HOW IT WORKS • English ↔ Russian, both ways. You practice recognizing English words by their Russian translation and recalling the English word from Russian — the two directions that make a word truly yours. • Smart spaced repetition. A custom memory model tracks how firmly you know each word and brings it back right when you're about to forget it. • Three exercise types: recognition (EN→RU), recall (RU→EN), and typing the word into a real sentence. From easy to hard — formats unlock as you grow. • CEFR levels from A1 to C2. Pick your starting level, unlock new words gradually, and celebrate every level-up. • Your own pace. Set a daily goal: 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 new words. The plan is counted in cards and eases off gently if you miss a few days. • Pronunciation audio, so you remember more than just the spelling. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Day streak and a GitHub-style activity heatmap. • Words mastered, answer accuracy, and progress for every level. • A full vocabulary browser: filter by level and status, archive words you already know. WHY LEARNER • Passwordless sign-in — just a code from your email. • No clutter: a clean interface, short sessions, visible results. • Syncs across your devices — pick up right where you left off. • Full Russian and English interface. Start free and turn learning English into a daily habit that actually works.
