Shinun helps you remember what you study, with flashcards you make yourself and spaced repetition that schedules your reviews. Free: one deck, five cards in it, two study sessions a day. Pro removes those limits for a one-time purchase, with no subscription. Study offline, without an account and without ads. SEE WHERE YOUR ANSWER DIFFERS • Type the answer instead of guessing whether you were close • Each answer is marked correct, almost correct or wrong • Accents and small typos in longer words are forgiven. Letters that differ are underlined IMPORT AND EXPORT • Paste a list: Shinun detects the separators and shows a preview before anything is saved • CSV and TSV files from a spreadsheet or your files • Text decks from .apkg files, with a field mapping step • Export your decks • Share a deck as a read only link. Only that deck is uploaded, and only when you tap Share HEBREW AND MIXED TEXT • Each side of a card has its own text direction, so Hebrew on the front and English on the back both read correctly • Hebrew, Arabic and Latin script can share one card SPACED REPETITION • FSRS, a modern scheduling algorithm, runs on your phone • Four grades, each showing when the card will come back • Cards you miss come back in the same session • A forecast of what falls due over the next 30 days • Retention and review statistics STUDY OFFLINE • Everything works offline except sending or opening a shared link • No account. Your decks stay on your phone • A home screen widget with the number of cards due today • Siri and Shortcuts can start a review or tell you how many cards are due • Light and dark themes, 15 languages, and a card text size you set per deck WHAT PRO ADDS • All four study modes are free: flip, typed answers, multiple choice and match. So are FSRS scheduling, stats, every import option, export and the small widget • Pro: unlimited decks, cards and sessions, reverse cards, a custom retention target, and the medium and Lock Screen widgets • On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence and iOS 26 or later, Pro can also turn a paragraph of notes into cards on the device, in the languages Apple Intelligence supports • Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Restore it on your other devices with the same store account Starter decks to begin with: 1,000 common Hebrew words, Hebrew example sentences, and 1,000 words each of Spanish, French and Arabic, all with English answers. The free version copies the first five cards of a starter deck; Pro copies the whole deck.
