Flashcard helps you build a focused study library and review cards when they are due. Create cards for definitions, exam notes, interview prep, programming concepts, language practice, and anything else you want to remember. Add plain text, code snippets, or images to the front and back of each card, then review them in a simple tap-to-flip study flow. After each answer, rate the card as Easy, Mid, Hard, or Very Hard. Flashcard uses that rating to schedule when the card should appear again. You can adjust the review intervals in settings so the app fits your study rhythm. Key features: - Create flashcards with text, code blocks, and images - Review due cards in a clean tap-to-flip study mode - Rate each card by difficulty to control when it returns - Customize review intervals for Easy, Mid, Hard, and Very Hard ratings - Get optional reminders when cards are ready to review - Browse, edit, and delete cards from your library - No account required Flashcard is designed to be local-first. Your cards, images, settings, and review progress are stored on your device. The app does not require an account, does not include ads, and does not sell personal information. Use Flashcard for quick daily review sessions, focused learning blocks, or building a personal knowledge base you can keep coming back to.
