24 alternatives to MemKit –- The spaced-repetition flashcard app I've always wanted
Hello, HN! I took a few months off and decided to properly build something I've wanted for a while now. MemKit is the spaced-repetition flashcard app I've always wanted. Here's what I mean: - Minimal friction to use. You can immediately start using the app. You are automatically given an account. You don't have to sign up or type in a username or password. A lot of times I'm reading a book and I only have my phone on me. It's super annoying to log into an app when you get signed out, especially on your phone and especially if you don't use a password manager on your phone. MemKit lets you…

Hey HN, I am a student shipping apps in my free time. This is my 4th for the year! Non-fic books and podcasts have been part of my life for years now but I always struggled with remembering what I’ve read or listened to. I wanted it to stick even after years. My notes list grew large but I never really revisited them. That’s why I created GinkgoNotes. You can enter notes you want to recall and leave it to the app to create a personalised (based on spaced repetition) email schedule. That means you’ll get your notes emailed to you a couple of times exactly when you should read them again…

DoubleMemory started as an experiment to see if I can somehow automatically save all double cmd + c, as I often do instinctively, so I don't need extensions to save links and text into an app, and avoiding flooding the capture history as regular clipboard managers does. My motivation was not to create a read-it-later app, yet it evolved into this unique yet cohesive form of a read-it-later + bookmarking organizer + clipboard manager + card based note-taking app over the last 6 months. It also launches from the menu bar with a shortcut and navigates with keyboard shortcuts. My favorite part…

Hi HN! I built Mnemeo after years of searching for the right flashcard app. I loved Memrise's typing mode and clean UI, but when they pivoted away from user-generated content, I had to find alternatives. Anki is powerful but wasn't quite what I wanted - the UI felt dated and the web version is limited. Plus I kept hitting ease hell. So I built what I personally wanted: a modern spaced repetition app where you choose between typing mode (for exact answers - spelling, code syntax, languages) or rating mode (for concepts and quick reviews). Same cards, different review styles based on what…

Owl is built a spaced repetition app. We built it for ourselves mostly because we were unhappy with Anki from a UX perspective, and are now releasing it to everybody else. It is super tiny, but - we think - also pretty good. You can add your own decks manually, or generate them from a PDF (think academic papers, which is how I use that feature) or a prompt. There are no emails except study reminders (when there are cards to study). You can also use our "AI tutor" to review cards conversationally. Looking forward to your feedback!

The app started as my wishful thinking that flashcards should really be derived from notes. I've been constantly writing things down and wishing to remember them. However, I never could convince myself to populate a flashcard app with them. I really tried (Anki, Supermemo), but I guess regular form filling is not for me. So I've started experimenting with flashcards derived from structured notes. Writing the 1st MVP was fast, but productionising it was way harder. Content synchronisation when the user can work from tube/plane and use multiple devices and content is text is… not trivial.…

Hi HN, I have been studying languages as a hobby for a large portion of my life. Hence, I decided to create a spaced repetion app with the techniques that have helped me the most so far. It's aims to be made simple for the regular user to plug and play. I'd love to hear your feedback!

recall▲43I have been bouncing off flashcards because making them by hand has been always a tedious task. Recall runs as an MCP server - you can connect it to Claude or Chatgpt, point your handwritten or typed notes (PDFs, docs, or even a Notion Page), and it writes Q&A cards straight into a deck. You could even ask Claude or Chatgpt to research on a topic and do the same without having the need to make notes. Then you review them with the FSRS spaced repetition algorithm. Built it solo over the last 2 weeks. Stack used: Next.js, Drizzle + Neon, ts-fsrs for scheduling It's a paid product - no card…
