Your notes in. Flashcards out. Done for today. StudyLess turns your own class material into study notes and flashcards in one deck, then shows you what to review each day and when you're done. MAKE A DECK FROM YOUR MATERIAL Take a photo of your notes, choose photos or a PDF, or paste text. StudyLess writes the notes and the flashcards from what you add. Add more material later and the deck grows with it. STUDY NOTES, WRITTEN FOR YOU Read one clear document made from your material: the topics in order, key ideas, common mistakes and anything your material flags for the test, plus key terms and a recap. With Pro, ask for it longer, shorter or simpler, or turn it into a visual overview: your notes illustrated on one page. REVIEW WHAT'S DUE, THEN YOU'RE DONE Try to recall each answer, reveal it, then rate how it went: Again, Hard, Good or Easy. Spaced repetition uses your ratings to schedule the next review. Home shows what's due now and what comes back later today, and tells you when today's reviews are finished. Stop any time and pick up where you left off. STUCK? ASK YOUR NOTES Chat with your deck. The chat knows your notes, your material and your cards, and it can suggest new or better flashcards. Nothing changes until you apply it. ADD A TEST DATE WHEN YOU HAVE ONE Start before a test is announced. When you know the date, add it to a deck or a folder and your reviews are planned toward it. Ordinary review continues after the test. MORE WAYS TO STUDY • Practice tests from your deck: multiple choice, short answer, essay or mixed, with feedback on your answers. • Podcast episodes that talk through your notes (Pro). Works on iPhone and iPad. In English and Korean. No ads. FREE AND PRO Free: 1 new deck a month (its notes and flashcards), 5 chat questions a day and 1 practice test a month. Reviewing everything you've made is free and unlimited.

About

Deckmere Flashcards

Features
Read full description

Deckmere is a flashcard app for your own study material. Bring it in from Anki, a spreadsheet or your notes, review it with FSRS spaced repetition, and check the answers you feel sure about. Buy once for the authoring tools. No subscription or account. BRING YOUR MATERIAL • Import Anki packages (.apkg and .colpkg, older and current exports) with formatting, tags, subdecks, images and audio. Basic, reversed and cloze notes come across; anything Deckmere cannot show is named before you import. • Keep your Anki progress or start fresh, your choice. Importing the same deck again updates what changed and keeps your own edits. • Import CSV or TSV files and pasted two-column lists, with a preview of the real cards before anything is saved. • Write cards yourself, or try the sample deck. • Every deck gets a picture that follows its name, or one you choose. REVIEW WITH FSRS • Today shows what is due, a short session of ten cards or a few minutes, and a clear rest when nothing is due. • Reveal the answer, then choose Again, Hard, Good or Easy and see each next interval before you choose. • Undo the last grade. Hear a side read aloud with your device's voices in the deck's language. CHECK WHAT YOU ARE SURE ABOUT • A self-check takes up to 10 cards: type an answer and choose your confidence before you see the card. • Mark your answers yourself and retry the mistakes, confident ones first. Your FSRS schedule is not changed. YOUR DATA, YOUR FILES • Back up everything to one file and restore it on your iPhone or iPad. Restoring only adds what is missing. • Export to Anki, or export card text as CSV or TSV. • Your library stays on your device and can sync between your Apple devices through your own iCloud. FREE, AND PRO ONCE • Free, with no cap and no time limit: cards and decks, review, the self-check, import, export and backup, and five generated cards a day. • Pro: add images, audio, cloze and image occlusion; make cards from PDF pages and photos; keep a saved mistake list and self-check history; plan toward a goal date; edit many cards at once; draft cards without a daily limit. • Card drafting runs on your device, with Apple's on-device model where available and a rules-based helper elsewhere. The screen says which one drafted. • One purchase, Family Sharing included. Restore Purchases restores it with the store account used to buy it; purchases on Apple and Google are separate.
