How to use the Flashcards
- Create a deck, then add cards one by one or paste a whole list.
- In Study, click the card or press Space to flip it.
- Choose Again (1) or Got it (2).
- Come back when cards are due. The ones you know wait longer each time.
How spaced repetition works
You forget things at a predictable rate, and reviewing just before you forget strengthens memory the most. Each card sits in one of five boxes. Get it right and it moves up, waiting 1, 3, 7, 14 and then 30 days. Miss it and it returns to the start. Your time goes to the cards you find hard.
Writing good cards
- One fact per card. Split long answers.
- Ask a question. Testing yourself works better than rereading.
- Use your own words. You’ll remember them better.
Keep study sessions focused with the Pomodoro Timer.

Frequently asked questions
Where is my data saved?
In this browser, on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Use Export to keep a backup or move your data to another device. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Can I import cards from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Save two columns as CSV and use Import CSV, or copy the columns and paste them into the paste box.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing is lost. Cards that are due wait for you until your next session.
Can I review everything before an exam?
Yes. When no cards are due, choose Practice all to go through the whole deck.
Can I install Flashcards as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. Flashcards is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
