Why a custom PDF beats a generic download

Most organic chemistry flashcards PDF files online follow someone else's syllabus, so half the cards cover reactions your professor skipped and the other half miss the ones on your exam. Generating cards from your own lecture slides and notes keeps the content aligned with what you will actually be tested on.

Cards cover the reactions and mechanisms in your own course material.
Spaced repetition schedules harder cards more often than ones you already know.
Photos of handwritten or printed notes are read with text recognition.
PDF export is available on the Plus plan when you need a printable set.

Example organic chemistry flashcards to study

What is the main difference between SN1 and SN2 reactions?SN1 is a two-step mechanism through a carbocation and favors tertiary substrates, while SN2 is a single concerted step with backside attack and favors primary substrates.

What makes a carbon atom a stereocenter?It is bonded to four different groups, so the molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image.

What functional group is written as RCHO?An aldehyde, a carbonyl carbon bonded to one hydrogen and one organic group.

Why are cis and trans alkenes locked in place?Rotating around the C=C bond would break the pi bond, which costs a lot of energy, so the geometry stays fixed.

What does the Hammond postulate say about transition states?The transition state resembles whichever species is closer to it in energy, so it looks like the reactant in exothermic steps and the product in endothermic ones.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes, or photos of pages. Cards follow your professor's reactions and examples, not a generic deck.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer gaps, so you review what you are about to forget.

Export when you need a PDF

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV, so you can print a set for a study group or move it into another app.

How it works

Upload your course material

Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, or photos of your notes on reaction mechanisms or nomenclature.

Review the generated cards

Check the fronts and backs, keep the ones that match your syllabus, and edit anything that looks off.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export a PDF on Plus when you want a printable copy.

Organic chemistry rewards repetition of mechanisms, reagents, and stereochemistry, which is where spaced repetition helps. Start with one chapter, review the cards daily, and add the next chapter once the first set feels routine.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for organic chemistry?

Start with one card per reaction, mechanism, or functional group in a single chapter, then expand as you go. Smaller sets reviewed daily tend to stick better than one large deck you rarely open.

How do I study reaction mechanisms with flashcards?

Put the starting material and reagents on the front and the product plus the key electron-pushing steps on the back. Explain the mechanism out loud before you flip the card.

Can I export my organic chemistry flashcards as a PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month, and students get 40% off Plus with a school email.
