How to study flashcards without wifi

Commutes, campus basements and flights all cut off your connection, so the real question behind a flashcard app no wifi search is whether you can take your cards with you.

Generate cards on a connection, then take the deck with you.
Export to PDF to print cards for offline review.
Export to Anki or CSV to load the deck into another app.
Use spaced repetition so each session focuses on cards you are likely to forget.

How it works

Add your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page while you have a connection.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl turns your material into flashcards with spaced repetition built in.

Export and study

Print the PDF or export to Anki or CSV on Plus, then study away from wifi.

DeckOwl needs an internet connection to upload your material and generate cards. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, without exports. To take a deck somewhere offline, export it to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on the Plus plan.

Keep each card to one fact and cover one lecture's key terms at a time. Short, repeated sessions with a printed or exported deck work better than one long cram before a trip.
