Anki – Effective memory training with flashcards.
Learn faster and remember more – backed by science
Anki is a free, open-source app that helps you retain information efficiently using digital flashcards. It’s especially popular with students, language learners, and professionals who need to learn and remember large amounts of information—quickly and accurately.
Using spaced repetition (based on the Leitner system), Anki shows you cards right before you’re about to forget them. This means you train your memory intelligently and avoid wasting time on what you already know.
Perfect for language learning – and much more
Whether you’re learning Japanese kanji, tyske verber (German verbs), medical terminology, or historical dates, Anki is your flexible study companion. You can:
- 🧠 Create your own cards with text, audio, images, and video
- 🔁 Get smart repetitions based on your learning curve
- 🌍 Sync across devices (desktop, mobile, and web)
- 💡 Download thousands of ready-made decks (shared decks)
It’s no surprise Anki has become a cult classic among medical students, language enthusiasts, and self-learners.
User-friendly and advanced
Anki has a simple interface yet packs powerful features. It supports LaTeX (math), cloze deletion, images, audio recordings, and much more. You can also set up cards in different languages and styles.
