Flashcard Decks
Save flashcard decks and review with simple Leitner boxes.
Overview
Flashcard decks combine a tidy card library with a simple Leitner-box review system, giving you a no-frills alternative to heavyweight spaced repetition apps. Each card belongs to a named deck, has a front and a back, and tracks which Leitner box it currently sits in. Grading a card correct promotes it to the next box, which extends the interval until the next review. A wrong answer drops it back to box one for tighter follow-up, exactly the way physical Leitner boxes work.
The dashboard summarises how many cards you own, how many are due today, and how many distinct decks you maintain. You can filter to a single deck, restrict the view to cards that are due, and launch a one-card-at-a-time review session with show-answer, correct, wrong, copy, and skip controls. Everything stays under your control: nothing auto-advances and no card disappears just because you got it right.
How it works
Add a card by typing a deck name plus the front and back text. The deck is reused as you add more cards under the same name, building up a deck library you can filter later. The Start review button shuffles the visible cards into a queue and presents them one by one; the show-answer button reveals the back, and the correct or wrong buttons grade the card and move on. Intervals follow a Leitner schedule, with each box reviewed less often than the one below it, and a due-date check based on the last review and current box decides which cards appear in the due list.
A sample-deck loader inserts a curated French, Spanish, capitals, or computer-science deck so you can try the flow without typing twenty cards first.
Examples
- Language vocabulary: Build a "French A1" deck with greetings and common verbs, then run a daily review of just due cards.
- Anatomy study: Create a "Cranial Nerves" deck with nerve names on the front and functions on the back, grading wrong cards back to box one for tighter repetition.
- Code interview cues: Add a "Big-O" deck mapping data-structure operations to their amortised costs, copying any tricky card into your notes during review.
- Capitals quiz: Load the sample capitals deck and run a shuffled session to test geography recall before a quiz night.
FAQ
How do the Leitner intervals work?
Each box has its own day interval. Correct answers promote a card to the next box and reset its review clock; wrong answers drop it back to box one for tighter follow-up.
Can I review a deck without grading?
Yes. Use the skip button during a session to move on without changing the card's box, useful when you just want to flip through.
What does "due only" filter?
It restricts the visible cards to those whose last review plus their box interval has passed, so you can ignore cards that are still resting.
Can I copy a card to share?
The copy card button writes the front and back to your clipboard as a single line, handy for pasting into notes.
Is there a daily limit?
No. Add or review as many cards as you like; the due count simply reflects the cards whose interval has elapsed today.
