How it works
Flip, swipe, done.
You only see a card when it's about to slip. Franki works out when that is for every card you own.
01
Add what you want to know
Type a card, paste a list, pick a starter deck, open an Anki deck, or let Franki write cards from your notes, photos and PDFs.
02
Study a few minutes
Tap to flip. Swipe to say how well you knew it.
03
Franki does the timing
FSRS-5 predicts when you'd forget each card and brings it back just before. You set how much you want to remember; Franki can fit the model to your own history.
Features
Notes in. Cards out.
Apple Intelligence · On device
Turn anything into cards
Paste notes, scan a page, pick a photo, or bring a PDF or web page. Franki writes the cards on your iPhone, free and private.
Past papers keep their exact wording: each question's options and picture on the front, the answer and explanation on the back.
Home Screen
Study from a widget
Flip and grade your next card without opening the app. On Apple Watch too.

Bring your Anki decks
Open an Anki export and keep every card's scheduling and review history, pictures, sounds, cloze and reversed cards.
Card types
More than front and back
Reversed, type-the-answer, cloze, and image occlusion: box the parts of a diagram, and each box becomes a card.
Variety
Quiz and match
A multiple-choice quiz and a timed match game for when flipping gets old. Practice mode leaves your schedule alone.
