Less scrolling. More remembering. eincard turns the moment you open a distracting app into a chance to study. Each time you open a selected app, review a few flashcards. Then continue intentionally, or decide you no longer need to scroll. Unlike a rigid app blocker, eincard does not lock you out. It adds useful friction. Screen time becomes active recall, and the habit of checking your phone becomes a cue to learn. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create or import a flashcard deck. 2. Choose the distracting apps you want to gate. 3. Follow the guided setup for an Apple Shortcuts automation. 4. Review cards whenever you open a selected app. 5. Continue after studying or return to what matters. STUDY SMARTER • Remember more with spaced repetition. • Swipe cards into known and still learning piles. • Reverse cards to practice both directions. • Set daily study limits for each deck. • Star important cards and organize decks into folders. • Track reviews, streaks and progress over time. BUILD BETTER PHONE HABITS • Add a study gate before social media and other distracting apps. • Choose how many cards each app asks you to review. • Set an active schedule for school, homework or exam sessions. • Use a short launch pass so intentional app switching stays smooth. • Pause every gate when you need a break. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your decks and card content stay on your iPhone. No account or Screen Time access is required. Anonymous product analytics never include your cards and can be disabled in Settings. Whether you are preparing for exams, learning vocabulary or trying to reduce screen time, eincard turns a distracting habit into steady progress. Free to use. No subscription.
