Why build your own set instead of downloading one

Plenty of GitHub-hosted Anki flashcards are shared as CSV or .apkg files, but they were written for someone else's course, version or exam, so the terms and depth often miss what you need. A set made from your own readings and lecture slides lines up with what will actually be tested.

Starts from your material

Cards are scheduled for review so you see weak ones more often and strong ones less often, with no manual planning.

Export to Anki on Plus

Move your decks into Anki on the Plus plan, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV exports, or study in the browser on Free.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a textbook page.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards against your course material and edit any that are unclear or off target.

Study with spaced repetition

Review cards in the browser on any plan, or export to Anki on Plus when you want to use Anki itself.

DeckOwl reads your uploaded files and turns them into flashcards, quizzes and mind maps, then schedules reviews with spaced repetition. You can edit any card before you study, so you keep control of what goes into your deck.

If you want the cards in Anki, the Plus plan at $7.99 per month or $39 per year includes Anki export. The Free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.

Frequently asked questions

What should a beginner Git and GitHub flashcard set cover?

Start with core terms such as repository, commit, branch, merge, pull request and clone, plus the commands you use every day. Add a card for what each command changes so you learn the effect, not just the name.

How many flashcards should I make for Git basics?

A first set of about 30 to 60 cards is a practical size for core Git and GitHub concepts. Split larger topics into separate decks so each one stays focused and easier to review.

Can I export DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $7.99 per month or $39 per year. Plus also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV exports and unlimited generations.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but exports require Plus.
