WHY FLASHY • Honest pricing — free for your first deck and 20 cards, then a single $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited everything, forever. No subscriptions, no "premium" upsells, no ads. Ever. • Every feature is free — FSRS, imports, images, tags: nothing is locked behind the unlock, only how much you can store. • AI cards on your device — paste your notes and Flashy's built-in AI turns them into flashcards, free and offline. No cloud, no subscription. • Smarter reviews — FSRS spaced repetition plans your reviews so you study less and remember more. • Private by default — your cards live on your device. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. The only data Flashy sends to us is an anonymous crash report when something breaks. • Works anywhere — fully offline, from airplanes to subways to mountaintops. • Backed up to your iCloud — your decks are copied to your own iCloud automatically and can be restored on a new iPhone. We never see them.
