Retrieve vs Drill

Retrieve is a flashcard app that tells you what to study each day. It schedules every card so you see it right before you'd forget it, which is the fastest way to actually remember things. Pay once. No subscription, no ads, no account. HOW IT WORKS Make a deck and add cards. Each day, Retrieve shows you the cards that are due. Flip a card, tap how well you knew it (Again, Hard, Good or Easy), and Retrieve picks the next date for it. There's nothing to set up. GET YOUR CARDS IN • Type cards one at a time, including fill-in-the-blank cards • Paste a list of terms and definitions. Retrieve works out the format. • Import a CSV or TSV spreadsheet • Import .apkg deck files, with their images and tags • Turn a photo of a diagram, map or textbook page into cards that each hide one label STUDY WITHOUT GETTING BURIED • New cards are capped at 20 per deck per day (you can change it), so a big deck doesn't flood you • Each deck shows how many cards are due today • The grade buttons show when you'll see the card again • Cards you miss come back later in the same session • Optional daily reminder at a time you pick • Study by tag, or review ahead when you want extra practice FIND AND TRACK • Search every card in every deck from the main screen • See your day streak, total reviews and cards learned YOUR CARDS STAY WITH YOU No account, no sign-in, no analytics. Export any deck as a CSV whenever you want. PRICE Free for one deck of up to 150 cards. A one-time $9.99 purchase gives you unlimited decks and cards. No subscription.

Drill is a flashcard app that schedules each card with spaced repetition, so you review a card right before you would forget it — not every day, not never. BRING YOUR DECKS • Import .apkg files (Anki's export format). Decks, cards, images and your existing schedule come along. • Import the same file again later: cards you already have keep their schedule, edited cards get their new text, nothing is duplicated. • Turn text into cards: paste a list, a CSV, a Quizlet export or your Kindle highlights, and Drill reads the pairs. • Export everything as one zip and bring it back on another iPhone — schedules included. Or share a single deck as a file that opens straight in Drill. • Three sample decks, so you can try the app before importing anything. STUDY • Open the app, tap Study now: the first card is two taps away. • Again, Hard, Good, Easy — each button shows when you will see the card next. • Undo the last answer. Flag a card to come back to it later. • A daily reminder tells you how many cards are waiting — and stays quiet on days you have already studied. • Every answer is saved the moment you tap it. Quit mid-session, come back, and the same card is waiting. • The study day rolls over at 04:00, so a late-night session still counts for today. • Your streak, today's numbers, a forecast of upcoming reviews and a review heatmap. • Works entirely offline. No account. No ads. No server of ours. MAKE CARDS • Question and answer. Reversed pairs (one entry, two cards). Cloze deletions. A picture. A voice clip. • Or paste a passage — or pick a photo of a page — and let Drill draft question–answer cards on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Split a card that tries to say too much into smaller ones the same way. (Drill Pro; needs iPhone 15 Pro or later and iOS 26.) DRILL PRO — one purchase, not a subscription • Unlimited decks (three without Pro; every deck you already have stays learnable). • Cards from a passage or a photo, on device. • Monthly stats, and a 91-day heatmap instead of 7. • A home-screen widget with your streak and the decks that are due, and a Live Activity that counts your session on the Lock Screen. • Session mode, per-deck daily limits, your own rollover hour, and the FSRS scheduler as an alternative to SM-2. • More than one picture per card. Importing, exporting and studying — every card, every schedule — are always included.
