About

Glimsy

Features
Read full description

Glimsy is an intuitive app that allows you to manually create your own flashcards and organize your knowledge in any field. Artificial intelligence works alongside you. Describe a topic and the AI will build a complete deck of flashcards from it. It also helps you manage that deck: it adds more cards, rewrites questions and answers, edits or removes the ones that do not fit. You stay in control โ€” the AI only takes over the tedious part. The intelligent learning planning system will make sure that you review the material when it is most effective, saving you time. All your sets are assigned to your account, so when you log in on a new phone, you'll immediately see your flashcards where you left off. The app works completely offline, so you can learn on the go or in places without coverage. There is also a dark mode available to protect your eyes during evening sessions. If you already use Anki, you can instantly import your existing decks and give them a new, clear format. Start building your personal knowledge base with Glimsy and see how convenient systematic learning can be.
