Nuka turns your notes into flashcards and quizzes you right before you'd forget. Less time rereading, more that sticks, and for the long run. Flashcards in seconds Import a PDF, a Word or PowerPoint file, a photo or a scan of your notes: AI pulls out the questions that matter, along with a study sheet that sums up the chapter. Look them over, keep what helps, and start studying. 20 AI-generated cards free every month. Prefer to write your own? Format your text, add photos, and bring cards over from another app as CSV or TSV. Spaced repetition, on autopilot After each card, three buttons: Success, Almost, Failure. Nuka works out when to show it next. A card you know comes back in a few days, a card that fights back returns the next day, and none waits more than a month: nothing fades without you noticing. Three ways to study Classic, to flip and swipe through your cards. Writing, to type the answer from memory. Quiz, to pick from choices designed to trip you up. Study together Create a class or join one with its code. Courses are organized into color-coded folders, PDFs and Word files open in a tap, and everyone studies at their own pace. An admin approves new members. You can also send a course to a friend, photos and formatting included. When you improve it, they get your updates, and a leaderboard compares you on the very same cards. Keep your streak going Daily streak, XP, levels, and streak freezes for the days off. A reminder tells you how many cards are waiting, a widget shows them on your Home Screen, your current session stays visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and the Apple Watch app lets you squeeze in a few cards between classes. Know where you stand Mastery for every card and every course, your week at a glance, a recap after each session. With Premium, detailed analytics: success rate, time spent, tough cards, progress over time. Your courses, everywhere Courses, cards and photos sync through iCloud. Optional Sign in with Apple keeps your profile across your devices. For finals, entrance exams, college, med school, law school, languages, or anything you want to remember. Nuka Premium 700 AI-generated cards every month, detailed analytics, photos and formatting in your cards, targeted review (only difficult, new or in-progress cards), custom sessions on Apple Watch, and one extra streak freeze.
