What to look for in a free flashcard app

If you want a free flashcard app with no in-app purchases, check what the free tier actually allows before you build a habit around it. Look for a way to study your own material, not only a shared library of other people's decks, because your course will test your lecture slides and textbook chapters.

  • Study from your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
  • Spaced repetition on every card set, so reviews are scheduled for you
  • Free plan: 3 generations a month, studied in the browser
  • Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are included in the paid Plus plan
Example cell biology flashcards to try in a free app
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, through cellular respiration. It is why the mitochondrion is often called the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids so they reach the correct destination inside or outside the cell.
What is osmosis?The net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration.
Why does the phospholipid bilayer block most ions?Its hydrophobic interior repels charged and polar molecules, so ions need channel or carrier proteins to cross.
What is the role of ribosomes?They read messenger RNA and link amino acids into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

Cards from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. The AI reads the text and writes flashcards from what you actually need to learn.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember them, so you spend less time rereading and more time recalling.

Study in the browser for free

The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Paid plans are optional and add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text notes or a photo of a page.

Generate your flashcards

The AI pulls out key terms and answers and turns them into a card set you can edit.

Study and come back

Review cards in your browser. Spaced repetition schedules the cards you are about to forget.

Cell biology is a good test case. A card set on organelles, membrane transport and protein synthesis is only useful if the cards match your syllabus, so generating them from your own notes keeps the review focused on what your exam will ask.

Paid plans are optional. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month and adds unlimited generations and exports, and Pro is $14.99/month for a stronger AI model, bulk upload and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?

Aim for one card per term or process you need to explain, such as organelle functions, transport types and steps of protein synthesis. A unit usually needs a few dozen focused cards rather than a long list copied from the textbook.

How does spaced repetition help with cell biology terms?

It shows you a card again just before you would likely forget it, so terms like osmosis or ribosome stay in memory longer. Cards you know well appear less often, which keeps review time short.

Does the free plan include exports?

No. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations a month. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and paid plans are optional if you want unlimited generations or exports.
