Is the free tier actually free, or is this a “free” free?
Actually free. No credit card, no 14-day countdown, no “credits” that mysteriously evaporate the night before midterms. You get 3 assignments, up to 50 AI cards each, unlimited manual cards, and our full study mode. Forever. If you never pay us a cent, we'll find a way to survive.
How does it make the flashcards?
You hand us a PDF or paste your notes. Our AI reads the entire thing (yes, all of it, including the part you skipped) and writes clean question-and-answer cards from the actual content. Takes about a minute. We've read more textbooks than your professor, and we brag about it far less.
Are the cards any good, or is it robot slop?
Mostly very good. But we’re an AI system, not gods...at least not yet...we're working on that too. Once in a while cards may come out a little off. That’s why your original source material stays bolted to every deck (fact-check us in two clicks) and why you can edit any card or write your own. Trust, but verify. We’d rather own our faults than pretend we’re flawless.
What can I upload?
PDFs with selectable text, or text you paste in directly. Lecture slides, chapters, your own notes, the 80-page reading nobody finished. All fair game. A pure photo of a page won’t work great yet (no text to read), but that’s on the roadmap.
Is using this cheating?
No! Making a few flashcards isn’t the learning part. Studying them is. We do the tedious transcription so you spend your time on the part that actually sticks the knowledge into your empty skull cavity. You still have to study. We can't take the exam for you. We asked our lawyers. They said 'no'...jerks.
What’s “spaced repetition,” and why do you keep saying SM-2?
It’s the not-so-secret trick behind everyone who seems to remember everything. After you rate how well you knew a card, the app schedules when to show it again. You'll see it sooner if you bombed it, way later if you crushed it. SM-2 is the proven algorithm running that schedule. Net result: you waste zero time re-reading the stuff you already know.
Can I make my own cards?
Absolutely, and they’re free and unlimited on every deck, every tier, forever. We only cap the AI doing the work...otherwise we'd go broke. You doing your own work? Knock yourself out, gold star.
What happens to my decks if I downgrade or cancel?
You keep every deck you ever made. We don’t delete your work to punish you for spending less money. That’s a gross little dark pattern and we’re not doing it. If you drop below your new plan’s limit you just can’t create new decks until you delete some or upgrade again. Your existing stuff stays put.
Can I delete a free deck and make a new one?
Yep, as many times as you want, at zero cost. Free gives you 3 assignment slots. Clear one out, make a fresh deck whenever. It’s your account. Get it, gurl.
Do you read my notes? Sell my data? Train on my stuff?
We store your decks and sources so we can, you know, show them to you. We don’t sell your data and we don’t train our models on your uploads. We are not interested in your chemistry notes beyond turning them into cards. The full, deliberately boring details live in our Privacy Policy.
Does this work on my phone?
It runs right in your browser. Use it on your laptop, tablet, or on the phone you’re definitely not peeking at during lecture. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon. We're working on it. Chill. Get off our backs!
Who even made this?
A very small operation that got tired of building flashcards by hand at 1 a.m. and decided to make a robot do it instead. We’re small enough that a real human reads your feedback, so if something’s broken or a card is gloriously wrong, tell us. Our devs might complain a little, but they'll get over it...or else.
Still here?
Then you’ve read more of this FAQ than you read of your syllabus. Go make a deck.
