## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Learners and professionals who want to memorize material long-term rather than cram — students, language learners, and anyone working through dense reading or research.
- **What you get**: A flashcard app where cards are written in Markdown, so notes can include headings, lists, code, and images. Cards can link to each other with bidirectional references, and content is organized with decks, tags, and templates. Free for local use; a paid tier adds cross-device sync and some AI-assisted card generation.
- **How it works**: You write notes as Markdown, which become flashcards; a spaced-repetition algorithm schedules reviews at increasing intervals based on how well you recall each card, and data lives locally on-device with optional sync.
