Ebbin — Study Less, Remember More Ebbin keeps what makes spaced repetition work and cuts the parts that made you want to quit. Open it and start — no deck-options screen full of settings to guess at, no jargon to learn first. Pick from five simple card types — Vocabulary, Front&Back, multiple choice, true/false, matching, and cloze — and you're studying in minutes. Just write. Ebbin turns your notes into cards. Creating study material shouldn't feel like filling out a form. In Ebbin, you can write naturally, just like writing a document. Don't stop to think about templates, card fields, or how to structure everything. Write what you want to remember, and use AI to turn your notes into useful study cards. The writing stays smooth and uninterrupted — just write, and keep going. Making cards is easy, not a chore — every card type already knows its own shape, so you just fill in the content. No templates to design, no plugins to hunt down. Coming from Anki? Import your decks and keep studying instead of starting over. Prepare for exams with confidence. Ebbin helps you organize what you need to know and retain it for exam day. Turn lecture notes, textbooks, and study materials into flashcards, then use spaced repetition to revisit difficult concepts and strengthen recall over time. Study a little each day instead of cramming everything at the last minute. Reviews that adapt to you — Ebbin quietly adjusts as you study, so your workload stays manageable and new cards show up at a pace that fits your schedule. Streaks and XP keep your progress visible, so staying consistent doesn't take pure willpower. See your progress, not just feel it — charts show your activity, study time, accuracy, and upcoming reviews over weeks or months, so you always know how far you've come and what's ahead. Whatever you're trying to remember, Ebbin helps you keep it — learning a new language's vocabulary, preparing for medical or nursing boards, studying for the SAT, GRE, or LSAT, working through AP Biology or A-level Chemistry, pursuing a professional certification or driving test, or memorizing scripture and other facts. If it's worth remembering, Ebbin helps you practice it. Same app, every device, iPhone, iPad, and Web, with your notes right where you left them. No platform paying more than another, no features locked behind a paywall. FEATURES Note Creation — Write naturally, like you're writing a document. Let AI turn or improve your notes into study cards without interrupting your flow. Library — Vocabulary, Front&Back, multiple choice, true/false, matching, and cloze cards, organized your way. Recall — Spaced repetition that adjusts automatically, so you review what you're at risk of forgetting. Smart Grading — Some cards grade themselves; others you rate yourself — either way, Ebbin adapts. Streaks & XP — Visible progress that helps studying become a habit, not a chore. Note Editor — One clean, simple editor for every card type. Just write — no templates or setup to get in the way. Statistics — Know where you stand at a glance: your streak, activity, accuracy, and what's due next. Progress Charts — See how your learning grows over time: an activity heatmap, a streak calendar, study-time and accuracy trends, and a timeline of upcoming reviews. Switch between time ranges, compare against earlier periods, and share any chart as an image. Anki Import — Bring your decks over and keep going. Cross-Device — iPhone, iPad, and Web — always in sync Privacy Policy: https://ebbin.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://ebbin.app/terms
