Cardlet flashcards

Read full description

Cardlet turns what you are studying into flashcards, then brings each one back just before you would have forgotten it. NOTES THAT BECOME CARDS Write in a block editor made for lectures: headings, bullets, to-dos, images and flashcards side by side. Any line can become a card without leaving the page. SPACED REPETITION THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME An SM-2 scheduler with proper learning steps decides what you see today. Cards you know drift further apart; cards you keep missing come back sooner. A daily goal, a streak and an honest recall rate tell you where you actually stand. AN ASSISTANT FOR THE BORING PART Point Cardlet at a lecture PDF, a YouTube link, a recording or pasted text and it drafts a set of cards. You review them and drop the ones you do not want before anything is saved. Cards can be written on your device, so this works offline and without an account. PLAN THE TERM, NOT JUST THE DAY A planner with exam countdowns and readiness, so revision is spread across the weeks you have rather than the night you do not. EVERYTHING ELSE Import decks from Anki or Quizlet. Export a note as PDF, or its cards as a deck. Record a lecture and have it transcribed on device. Study reminders that fire when you asked them to. WORKS WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Notes, cards, review and on-device generation need no sign-in and stay on your iPhone. An account adds syncing between devices and cloud card generation. CARDLET PRO AND CARDLET PRO + AI Two optional subscriptions. Cardlet Pro syncs your notes and cards across every device you sign in on: $14.99 a month or $149.99 a year. Cardlet Pro + AI adds cloud card generation on top of that: $29.99 a month or $299.99 a year. Everything the free version does stays free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same price and period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel yours in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://cardlet.neuro7x.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://cardlet.neuro7x.com/privacy
