Getting started

Create your first deck and cards, and finish your first study session.

3 min

Install and open the app, then follow these three steps to start studying.

1. Create a deck

On first launch the app seeds a “Getting started” deck containing one demo card.

Open Decks from the home screen and tap + to create a deck:

  • Name: name it by topic, e.g. “Spanish vocab” or “Kanji”
  • Icon: pick an emoji as the deck’s icon
  • Description: optional — what this deck is for

2. Add cards

Open the deck and tap + to add a card:

  • Both question and answer support Markdown — bold, lists, code blocks
  • Attach images from gallery or camera (up to 8 per card)
  • Pick a category color to make the card stand out in lists

3. Study

Tap Study in the deck and follow the review flow:

  1. Read the question, then tap the card (or press Space) to flip and reveal the answer
  2. Rate your recall: Again / Hard / Good / Easy
  3. Every rating button shows the resulting review interval — that’s the schedule at work

After rating, the next card appears automatically. When today’s due cards are done you’ll see the completion screen — come back tomorrow, and each card will be waiting at its optimal time.

Tip: no account is required. By default, all your data stays on your device.
