Anki
Flashcards that use spaced repetition to help you remember.
Instead of Quizlet
Screenshot from apps.ankiweb.net, taken 2026-10-23, shown to help you recognise the tool. It belongs to its maker. Ask us to remove it.
Anki shows you cards just before you would forget them, and it has become a standard tool for learning languages, medicine and much else. It is open source and your decks are files you can move.
The look is plain, and the iOS app is a paid one, which helps fund the project, so Delivery is a 4.
- Spaced repetition helps you remember what you learn
- Decks are files you can move
