Smarter Studying Starts Here
Harness cognitive science principles directly from your source material, ensuring deep learning and maximum retention without the effort.
Universal Input Support
Convert handwritten scans, dense PDFs, lecture slides, or detailed documents directly into digestible question-and-answer pairs. The AI handles complex formatting.
Optimized Spaced Repetition
Every generated card is automatically tracked with our learning algorithm. Set your desired exam date, and the system dictates precisely when you need to review for peak recall.
Effortless Prompt Generation
Don't have a file? Simply type a specific topic (e.g., 'Quantum Entanglement Concepts'), and the AI generates a comprehensive, ready-to-study deck based on your prompt.
Collaborate and Share Decks
Instantly share your meticulously crafted AI study sets with classmates or study groups using a unique, secure public link, fostering collaborative success.
Your Workflow: From Source Material to Mastery in Three Steps
We've streamlined the process so you can spend less time preparing materials and more time mastering them.

3. Start Active Recall
Begin studying immediately. The system prioritizes concepts you struggle with, maximizing efficiency based on the principles of active recall.
Mastering Study Techniques by Converting Notes Into Flashcards
Converting notes into flashcards is a proven methodology for strengthening memory recall, and our platform automates this tedious process entirely. By feeding your existing study material—whether it’s lecture slides, textbook excerpts, or detailed research papers—directly into our AI, you leverage subject matter expertise instantly. This isn't just about reformatting text; it’s about structuring information for effective spaced repetition algorithms, which cognitive science shows is essential for long-term retention. Students often find the barrier to entry for creating quality flashcards is the time investment; our tool eliminates that friction entirely.
- Transform dense academic papers into Q&A format
- Generate review decks directly from PowerPoint slides
- Use AI prompts when physical notes are unavailable
- Optimize review sessions based on personalized learning gaps
- Efficiently cover large volumes of material before exams
Consider the efficiency gained when preparing for a high-stakes exam like the MCAT or bar exam. Instead of hours spent highlighting and manually transcribing key facts, you upload the core reading and receive a robust set of concept-based flashcards, complete with optimal scheduling prompts. This frees up cognitive energy to focus purely on understanding and retrieval practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clarity on how our AI maximizes your study effectiveness.
Is there a cost associated with turning my notes into flashcards?
The core functionality is completely free to use forever. We offer an optional paid subscription for users needing higher generation credits or access to our more advanced AI model for complex topics.
What specific file types can I upload to generate flashcards?
You can upload PDFs, DOCX files, and PowerPoint presentations (PPTX). We also support image uploads of notes or diagrams which the AI processes.
How does the AI decide what to ask from my uploaded content?
The AI focuses on extracting definitions, key relationships, critical dates, and concepts that require active recall to ensure comprehensive coverage of the source material.
Can I adjust the spaced repetition schedule after the cards are made?
Yes, you can set your target exam date when generating the deck, and the system dynamically manages the review intervals leading up to that date for optimal recall.
