Flashcards turns the proven Leitner system into a calm daily habit. Create cards in seconds, study offline without an account, and watch every card climb from box 1 to box 5. HOW IT WORKS • Create: type a card, add a photo from your camera or library, or record a voice memo. • Study: flip the card and rate yourself. Known moves it up a box, Again sends it back to box 1.
