About

Markdown Cards

Read full description

Markdown Cards is the fastest way to make a stack of flashcards on iPhone β€” and the simplest way to study them. You can build a stack in two ways: WRITE IT: Open the markdown sheet and type. The format is deliberately tiny: β€’ # for the stack title β€’ ## for the front of a card β€’ ### for the back of a card GENERATE IT: Tap "Generate with Apple Intelligence", describe what you want to memorize (e.g. "top AI terms", "interview Q&A", "art movements", etc.), and the on-device model writes a full deck in the format above. The result drops straight into the editor β€” edit it like anything else, or save as-is. That's it. No body text, no lists, no formatting. The editor lints your file in real time and saves when it's valid. DESIGNED FOR STAYING OUT OF THE WAY: β€’ Every stack is a markdown file. Nothing proprietary. Copy, paste and share. No accounts, no exports, no import wizards. β€’ Apple Intelligence runs on-device. Or use your favorite AI tool to generate a markdown. β€’ No subscription, no paid to unlock, no login. β€’ Open a stack. Tap a card to flip. Swipe to advance. Tap and hold to edit a card or stack. WHO IT'S FOR: β€’ Anyone who wants a dedicated and simple flashcard app. β€’ Devs or any technical professionals who would rather write markdown than fight a clunky UI. β€’ Students who don't want overly complicated flashcard app with subscriptions. β€’ Anyone who remembers HyperCard and wonders why apps today stopped being simple and elegant. REQUIREMENTS: β€’ In-app generation of cards requires iOS 26 or later on a device with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings. The rest of the app works on older iPhones β€” you just won't see the generate button do its thing. PRIVACY: This app uses GlitchTip to report crashes and errors so bugs can be diagnosed and fixed. No personal data is collected, and nothing is used for tracking or advertising.
