Flashcard Maker

Make, study and flip digital flashcard decks, saved on your device.

Make a deck, study it by flipping cards, and mark each card known or still to learn. Decks are saved in your browser, so your deck is still there when you come back on the same device. Nothing is uploaded. The study session shuffles the deck, shows one card at a time, and tracks how many you marked known, so you can see which cards need another round.

Privacy note. Decks live in this browser only. Clearing browser data loses them, so export a deck you care about.

How to study with flashcards that actually work

A flashcard works because it forces recall: you see the question, you try the answer in your head, then you flip and check. Reading the answer first, or flipping without trying, throws the benefit away. The honest routine is simple: look at the front, say the answer out loud or in your head, flip, and mark it honestly. Known means you got it without a hint. Still learning means it goes back into the round, not into a pile you never revisit.

Shuffle before each session so you are not memorising the order of the cards instead of the content. Study in short sessions, and come back tomorrow: a card you got right today and wrong tomorrow is a card you have not learned yet, and the deck's known count across sessions tells you that plainly. Keep cards short: one fact per card. A card with three facts on the back is three cards pretending to be one.

Writing good cards

Front: one question, in your own words. Back: the shortest correct answer, plus one short example if the answer alone is easy to misread. Avoid yes-or-no fronts, which are easy to guess, and avoid fronts that give the answer away in the wording.

How long to study

Twenty minutes of real recall beats two hours of re-reading notes. Stop a session when the known count stops moving, take a break, and run the still-learning cards again later. The deck keeps its marks between sessions on this device, so progress is visible, not guessed.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Decks are saved in your browser's local storage on this device only. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is shared unless you export a deck yourself.
It counts the card as learned for this session and moves the progress bar. It does not delete the card: restarting the session brings every card back, so you can test yourself again.
Because studying cards in the same order teaches you the order, not the content. Shuffling forces you to answer each card on its own, which is what recall practice is for.
Yes, with export and import. Export downloads a JSON file with every card. Paste that JSON into the import box on the other device to recreate the deck.
As many as you like, within your browser's local storage limits, which are generous for plain text cards. Short decks studied often beat long decks studied once.
No. This version is text only, for reading and recall. Saying the answer out loud yourself before flipping is part of the study routine, and it works without audio.
