Description
Learning that actually sticks.
FlashCards is the smart flashcard app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It shows you each card at exactly the right moment – just before your brain is about to forget it. Scientifically proven spaced repetition, minimal effort, maximum results.
8 Algorithms. Your Rhythm.
FlashCards is the only app that offers eight different spaced repetition algorithms:
• FSRS-4.5 – The most advanced algorithm, dynamically calculating stability and difficulty per card (default)
• ACT-R – Cognitively grounded model: schedules reviews using the power law of forgetting, adapted per card
• Anki – Refined SM-2 variant with four rating buttons and per-card easiness factor
• Bayesian – AI-powered probability optimization for maximum efficiency
• SM-2 – The proven SuperMemo classic
• Leitner System – The classic card box method, digitally reimagined
• 6-Phases – Progressive intervals from same-day to 90 days
• Flat – Simple: 10 correct answers in a row = learned
Choose the algorithm per card box individually – switch anytime.

Statistics & Sync
