Get a flashcard quiz app without setting up a GitHub project
Open-source repos need cloning, installing and configuring. DeckOwl turns your own course material into flashcards with spaced repetition and quizzes you can study in the browser.
Why generate your own flashcard quiz app content
Open-source projects on GitHub can be useful, but many need a local install, dependencies and some setup before you can review a single card. If what you want is a flashcard quiz app built around your own course material, DeckOwl takes a more direct route. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages, and it generates flashcards with spaced repetition plus quizzes with explanations.
- No repo to clone, no dependencies to install
- Flashcards with spaced repetition scheduling
- Quizzes with explanations for every answer
- Free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card needed
