About the Flashcards
The flashcard maker lets you build a deck of question-and-answer cards and study them with a flip-and-recall workflow. You add cards one at a time or import many at once, then study by reading the front, flipping to check the back, and marking whether you got it right. It shuffles on demand and keeps a per-card tally of your correct and wrong answers.
It is built for active recall, the study technique where testing yourself beats rereading notes. Use it to memorise definitions, formulas, vocabulary, dates, or any fact that fits a prompt and a response. Your deck is saved in your browser's local storage, so it persists between visits on the same device without any account, and nothing is uploaded. A built-in sample deck lets you try the flow immediately.
How to use it
- Open the Manage tab and type a front (question) and back (answer), then click Add card. Press Enter in the answer field to add quickly.
- To build a deck fast, open the Import tab and paste one card per line using front | back, front; back, or front - back.
- Go to the Study tab, read the front, and click the card or press space to flip to the answer.
- Mark Got it right or Got it wrong, which advances to the next card and updates that card's stats.
- Click Shuffle to randomise the order, or load the five-card sample deck if you want to see how it works first.
Examples
Bulk importing a vocabulary set
On the Import tab, paste lines like 'ephemeral | lasting a very short time' and 'ubiquitous | present everywhere'. The maker splits each line on the separator and creates a card per line, so a twenty-word list becomes a twenty-card deck in one click instead of twenty manual entries.
Studying with recall stats
Study a deck of formulas. You flip a card, realise you blanked, and hit Got it wrong, which logs a wrong mark and moves on. After a pass, the Manage tab shows each card's running score, like 3 correct and 1 wrong, so you can see which facts still need work.
Frequently asked questions
- Where are my cards stored?
- In your browser's local storage on the device you used. There is no account and no server, so your deck stays private and survives page reloads, but it is tied to that browser. Clearing site data or switching devices will not carry it over.
- What separators can I use for bulk import?
- Each line is split on a pipe, a semicolon, or a space-hyphen-space sequence. So 'front | back', 'front; back', and 'front - back' all work. The first part becomes the question and the rest becomes the answer, so answers can contain extra hyphens.
- How does the right and wrong tracking work?
- Each card keeps two counters. Marking Got it right increments its correct count, Got it wrong increments its wrong count, and the totals show on the card in the Manage tab. This helps you spot the cards you keep missing so you can focus on them.
- Can I shuffle the deck?
- Yes. The Shuffle button randomises the study order and resets you to the first card. Shuffling between passes prevents you from memorising the sequence instead of the material, which is a common trap with a fixed card order.
- Is there a quick way to try it?
- Load the built-in sample of five cards from the empty Study tab or the Manage tab. It covers a few writing and citation facts so you can practise the flip-and-mark flow before building your own deck.
Good to know
The study loop here is deliberate self-testing rather than passive review, which is why you flip and grade each card rather than just flicking through answers. The act of trying to recall before you reveal the back is what strengthens memory, so resist peeking at the answer until you have made a genuine attempt.
Because the deck lives in local storage, it is convenient but not backed up. If a deck matters, keep the source text you imported so you can rebuild it, and be aware that browser privacy cleaners or incognito sessions can wipe it. The maker handles plain question-and-answer recall well; it does not schedule reviews over time the way a spaced-repetition system does, so for long-term retention of a large deck, run through it regularly and lean on the per-card stats to decide what to revisit, prioritising the cards with the most wrong marks.
