Flashcards with a real spaced-repetition engine — and no ads, no sign-up, and no paywall creep. Native on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. iCloud sync included free. Full Anki and CSV import and export, so your cards stay yours. SCHEDULING YOU CAN SEE • Proven SM-2 scheduling, with FSRS available as an optional smart schedule — fewer reviews at the same retention. • Every grade button shows the interval it will produce before you choose it. • Review priority per interest and per deck, so limited study time goes where it matters. • Postpone a card, deck or interest without lying to the algorithm.

No daily caps, no extra subscription, and you review every card before it enters a deck. BUILT FOR APPLE PLATFORMS • Home-screen widget with your due count. • Siri and Shortcuts: ask how many cards are due, or start a review. • Spotlight finds your cards from the Home Screen, matched on either side. • Apple Watch review on your wrist. • Cards read aloud, with per-card language and pronunciation control.
