Effortless AI Flashcards for Your Obsidian Vault
Stop manually typing notes into separate flashcard apps. Upload your existing lecture slides (PDFs, DOCX) or simply prompt our AI to generate high-utility flashcards instantly, tailored for effective studying.
No credit card required
Smarter Learning, Seamless Integration
Move beyond static note review. Our tool leverages cognitive science principles to maximize retention right where your knowledge lives.
Direct Input Flexibility
Upload documents like PDFs, DOCX, or PowerPoint files, or input custom prompts describing the topic. The AI parses content rapidly, building study sets without tedious manual data entry.
Built-in Spaced Repetition
Each generated card set is optimized using proven spaced repetition algorithms. We schedule reviews based on optimal decay curves, ensuring material moves efficiently into long-term memory.
Targeted Exam Preparation
Set a specific exam or target review date during creation. The system prioritizes content needing the most attention leading up to your critical deadlines, ensuring focused active recall.
Shareable Study Sets
Collaborate with study partners instantly. Generate a public link for any deck, allowing others to access the AI-created content for group review sessions.
Transform Your Obsidian Knowledge Base in Three Steps
We streamline the creation, scheduling, and review process so you can focus solely on mastering complex topics.
- 1
1. Provide Source Material
Either upload your lecture notes (PDF, DOCX, images) or type a direct instruction like, 'Create cards on the main concepts of graph theory.' The AI handles ingestion.

3. Master Content Fast
Access your perfectly formatted, AI-generated flashcards designed for active recall. Practice daily and watch your confidence grow as the scheduling algorithm guides your progress.
Why AI Flashcards Are Superior for Obsidian Users
Flashcards Obsidian users create with our AI bridge the gap between powerful knowledge management systems and effective retrieval practice. While Obsidian excels at linking concepts and organizing deep notes, manually extracting question/answer pairs for review is time-consuming and often skipped. Our solution automates this extraction process entirely. By converting dense text from your existing documentation into atomic questions designed for active recall, we embed true learning efficiency directly into your study workflow.
- Creating study sets from long-form research papers or textbook chapters.
- Generating targeted quizzes based on specific concepts mentioned in notes.
- Leveraging scheduled reviews to prevent forgetting curve decay.
- Quickly testing understanding of technical terminology found in documentation.
For students deeply embedded in the Zettelkasten or linked-note methodology, maintaining a robust review queue is essential. Our platform ensures that the effort invested in organizing your Obsidian vault translates directly into better retention outcomes via scientifically informed scheduling methods, making the transition from note-taking to proven study techniques instantaneous.
More Ways to Optimize Your Studying
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about using AI generation for your study materials.
Can I upload my existing Obsidian Markdown files directly?
While direct vault integration is not available, you can copy and paste the text content from your Markdown notes into our prompt interface, and the AI will generate the flashcards accurately.
What is the difference between the Free and Paid plans?
The Free plan offers a generous number of standard AI generations. The Paid plan unlocks higher-tier, more advanced AI models for nuanced content extraction and grants significantly more monthly generation credits.
How does the spaced repetition scheduling work?
The system uses proven cognitive science algorithms to track your performance on each card, dynamically adjusting the time until the next review based on how well you retained the information previously.
Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?
Currently, the generation process is immediate and final for the initial set. We focus purely on high-speed, high-quality creation, though we prioritize generating accurate cards initially.
