Exam prep that plans your reviews for you

Cramming works for tomorrow, not for next month. Spreading reviews over days and weeks, the spacing effect, leads to much better long-term memory (see why the Leitner system works). Starting from Box 1, a card you know every time reaches Box 5 after four reviews on day 0, 3, 10 and 24. Start four to six weeks ahead and most cards will have been reviewed several times before the exam.

Create a topic for each subject or module, such as “Anatomy: muscles”, “Contract law” or “Statistics”. Each side of a card holds up to 500 characters of text or a photo: a diagram, a formula from the whiteboard, a page from your notes. Photos are added manually and are free; the app does not read text from them.

Right after a lecture, record a one-minute voice memo that sums up the key points. With Flashcards Plus, AI turns the memo into card suggestions that you edit and confirm. Plus includes 12 AI uses a day and up to 60 a month. Details on AI flashcards from voice memos.

Each day the due session collects the cards whose review date has arrived, across all topics. Mark cards you keep getting wrong as hard: hard cards are due every day and appear twice per session. Before the exam you can practise a whole topic or a single box; practice sessions never change your boxes or due dates.

With shared topics, a study group can split the work: everyone adds cards for their chapter, and everyone studies all of them in their own boxes. Reviews and hard marks stay private. Sharing is part of Flashcards Plus.

Your streak counts the days in a row on which you studied. A daily reminder at a time you choose tells you when cards are due, and the five-step staircase shows how many cards sit in each box, so you can watch a topic move from Box 1 towards Box 5 as the exam gets closer.
