Pith

Read full description

Pith helps you remember what you study, and stays out of the way while you do it. Make a card, or bring in the decks you already have, and let spaced repetition resurface each one at the moment you are about to forget it. No streaks to keep alive, no clutter. Just the next card, at the right time. It is built to feel like a small-press notebook rather than another grey app screen: serif type, warm paper tones, and a study flow with nothing in your way. REMEMBERS FOR YOU Every card is scheduled with FSRS, the modern spaced-repetition algorithm, so reviews land right before recall would slip. Prefer the classic method? Switch to SM-2 in a tap, and imported decks keep their own schedule. BRING YOUR DECKS Already use Anki? Import your .apkg files with cards, media, and progress intact, then export back out the same way. Spreadsheets come in too, through CSV or TSV. MORE THAN WORDS Add images, record or attach audio for pronunciation, and choose the card type that fits the material: basic, reversed, type-the-answer, cloze deletions, or image occlusion for diagrams and maps. BUILT FOR BIG DECKS Thousands of cards stay fast. Browse, search inside a deck, and study large imported sets without the app slowing down. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Retention rate, review history, a study heat map, and an upcoming-reviews forecast, each broken down per deck. ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE A native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with a Today widget that keeps your reviews one glance away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics or trackers of any kind. Your cards stay on your device, and with Pith Pro they sync through your own iCloud, which we never see. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL UNLOCK Free includes one deck with unlimited cards and the full study experience. Pith Pro is a single $5.99 purchase, never a subscription. It unlocks unlimited decks, iCloud sync across your devices, and the cloze and image-occlusion card types. Questions or ideas? Email claudiu.sararu@gmail.com.

Read full description

Flashcards Made Easy is a simple, personal study app for creating your own flashcards and practising them at your own pace. Explore the app with a free 7-day trial. If you like, unlock it forever with a modest, one-time payment. No ads anywhere. No subscription. Use it for vocabulary, school subjects, definitions, facts, formulas, exam preparation, medical terms, historical dates, geography, chemistry, biology, physics, economics, music theory, computer science, or any other question-and-answer material you want to remember. The app is built around a clear learning flow: create decks, add cards, practise, and mark each card as Wrong or Correct. Correct cards count toward your deck progress. Wrong cards stay in the current practice sequence so you can try them again until you know them. This keeps learning simple and understandable, especially for students who do not want complicated review systems. Each flashcard can include a front side, back side, optional hint, and optional example or context. During practice, cards flip with a smooth animation when you tap the card or show the answer. You can practise in normal order, shuffle the deck, or reverse cards to test yourself from answer to question. The Today page gives you a quick overview of your learning progress. Continue active decks, practise completed decks again, and see how many cards are already correct. Deck progress is shown in a simple visual way, so it is always clear what still needs work. Key features: • Create your own custom decks and flashcards • Add a front, back, hint, and example/context to each card • Practise with simple Wrong and Correct buttons • Wrong cards stay in the current practice round • Correct cards count toward deck completion • See deck progress and remaining cards • Use the Today page to continue learning quickly • Practise completed decks again whenever you want • Tap a card or button to flip and show the answer • Smooth animated card flip during practice • Optional random shuffle per deck • Optional reverse practice mode • Import decks and cards from Excel .xlsx files • Use single-deck or multi-deck Excel import files • Export all decks to Excel for backup, editing, or sharing • Edit exported files and re-import them later • Create, edit, and delete decks and cards manually • Delete all cards in a deck when needed • Choose from many built-in deck icons • Add your own custom deck icons • Choose built-in or custom app backgrounds • Adjust background opacity from 0% to 100% • Choose a visual theme: indigo, orange, pink, or green • Use the app in English, Dutch, German, French, or Spanish • Built-in help guide in multiple languages • Small sounds and confetti make completed decks feel rewarding • No account required • No subscriptions • No ads Flashcards Made Easy is designed for learners who want control over their own study material without unnecessary complexity.
