About

Pocket Cards App

Features
Read full description

Pocket Cards is spaced repetition that fits in a pocket — a short daily study session that ends when the number reaches zero. Build a deck, add cards by hand, or let the app draft them from pasted notes or a photo of a page. Then study in small sittings. After each answer you grade yourself: Again, Hard, or Easy — and every button shows exactly when that card will come back, so the schedule is never a black box. A proven algorithm decides the timing. Cards you know drift further out. Cards you miss return in minutes. The home screen is a due count and nothing else, because the only job of this app is to make that number reachable in under five minutes a day. Anything the app drafts for you stays a draft until you read it and accept it. Nothing enters your memory on an optimized schedule without a person saying yes first. No streaks. No XP. No confetti. Just the cards that are due today, and a mascot in your pocket that peeks out when they're waiting.
