Flashcard Tool
Flashcards are one of the most effective memorization tools ever invented — the act of recalling an answer is what strengthens the memory, not re-reading it. Create decks for vocab, formulas, definitions or facts, then study with a simple know/don't-know flow. Decks are saved on your device.

How it works
- Create a deck and add cards — front and back (text works for vocab, formulas, Q&A).
- Start studying: the card's front is shown; reveal the back and test yourself.
- Mark each card as known or still learning — unknown cards reappear sooner.
- Decks and progress are saved automatically in your browser.
Worked example
Worked example — formula deck
- Front: “Ohm's law” → Back: “V = I × R”
- Front: “P = V² ÷ R” → Back: “Power from voltage and resistance”
- Study 10 cards twice a day; unknown cards repeat until they stick.
Two 10-minute sessions a day beats one 3-hour cram — spacing is the mechanism that makes flashcards work.
Common mistakes
- Making cards too big — one fact per card. “Explain photosynthesis” is an essay prompt, not a flashcard.
- Revealing the answer before attempting recall — the attempt IS the learning.
- Studying only new cards and never re-testing old ones — known cards need occasional review too.
Frequently asked questions
Is this like Anki?
It's a lightweight, browser-based version of the same idea. It uses a simple know/don't-know flow rather than Anki's full spaced-repetition algorithm.
Where are my decks stored?
In your browser's local storage on your device. Nothing is uploaded — clear site data and the decks go with it.
Can I add images to cards?
Not yet — text-only cards are the current scope. Images are a natural next step.
What should I use flashcards for?
Anything recall-based: vocabulary, definitions, formulas, dates, drug names, code syntax, anatomy — if you need to retrieve it fast, flashcard it.
