Powered by FSRS, the spaced-repetition algorithm trusted by millions of Anki users.
Everything you need to actually learn
The proven algorithm. A modern app around it.
FSRS scheduling
Powered by FSRS, the spaced-repetition algorithm Anki added in 2023. Each card returns right as memory starts to fade, so you review less than with classic SM-2 and remember longer.

Native audio
