Study on a schedule
Review in the browser with spaced repetition. Export to Anki or CSV on Plus.
Many students want cards that reflect their own class rather than a generic set. DeckOwl builds cards from your source, so the deck matches what your instructor covered. Review the results, delete weak cards, and add your own.
Spaced repetition then decides when each card comes back. Cards you miss show up sooner, and cards you know move to longer gaps.
