MINA FLASHCARDS — YOUR BRAIN, YOUR DATA, YOUR APP. Mina is a powerful flashcard app built for students, self-learners, and professionals who want to actually remember what they study — without giving up their privacy. 100% YOUR DATA Your flashcards, study history, and progress live on YOUR device. No account required. No tracking. No ads. No data harvesting. We don't collect, store, or sell your information — ever. What you study is nobody's business but yours. POWERED BY FSRS — THE BEST SPACED REPETITION ALGORITHM Mina uses FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler), the same open-source algorithm trusted by millions of Anki users. FSRS is scientifically proven to be more efficient than SM-2 — it adapts to YOUR memory patterns, schedules reviews at the optimal moment, and helps you remember more while studying less. Every card gets smarter the more you use it. SMART FLASHCARDS Create cards in seconds with text, definitions, and multiple card types. FSRS ensures you review the right cards at the right time — no wasted effort on material you already know. DIAGRAM LABELING (IMAGE OCCLUSION) Drop in any image — anatomy charts, maps, circuit diagrams — and label regions with colored boxes. AI auto-detect finds text labels for you. Quiz yourself by tapping pins to reveal answers. Perfect for medical students, geography, and visual subjects. MULTIPLE QUIZ MODES • Flip Card — classic front/back review with self-grading • Multiple Choice — auto-generated options from your deck • Written Answer — type your answer with smart semantic grading • Diagram Quiz — tap-to-identify and self-graded pin modes • Cloze Deletion — fill in the blank with intelligent scoring EARN YOUR RANK Every study session earns XP. Rise through Roman ranks from Civis to Augustus. Maintain daily streaks, unlock shields, and watch your imperial frame evolve. Learning should feel rewarding. TRACK EVERYTHING Detailed statistics, mastery percentages, study streaks, session history, and weekly charts — all computed locally on your device. IMPORT YOUR EXISTING CARDS Bring your flashcards from Anki (.apkg), CSV, or Excel files. No lock-in — you can export anytime too. WORKS EVERYWHERE iPhone, iPad, and soon Mac. Your data syncs privately via iCloud — encrypted end-to-end by Apple. No third-party servers touch your information. ONE-TIME PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTION.

Own your data.

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.
