AI cards

Turn your PDFs and notes into cards

Open a textbook or lecture PDF in the built-in reader, highlight what matters, and let AI draft review-ready cards — front, back, and cloze. You stay in control of exactly what gets sent.

  • From PDFs, notes, or word lists
  • Highlight a passage → cards in seconds
  • Cloze and Q&A formats

Review

Review only what's due — then cram when it counts

Every card schedules itself with FSRS: tighter intervals when you're shaky, wider when you're solid. The night before an exam, switch to Cram Mode to blitz a whole deck without touching your schedule.

  • FSRS spaced repetition, tuned to you
  • Again · Hard · Good · Easy
  • Cram Mode for the final stretch

Hands-free

Review from across the room

Drive your reviews without touching the screen. Pair a cheap game controller over Bluetooth, or use the free wireless Anki Remote to run Anki Desktop from your phone — even the 8BitDo controllers AnkiMobile won't pair with.

  • MFi & 8BitDo controller support
  • Free wireless remote for Anki Desktop
  • Review from the couch or treadmill

Tuned to your exam

Pick your goal — USMLE Step 1/2, MCAT, anatomy, pharmacology, or your own — and get a daily plan matched to the time you have.

Private by default

Your decks, PDFs, and notes stay on your device. AI requests only fire when you start a generation — with full disclosure of what's sent.
