NotchWise

What it does

I kept closing Anki after 3 cards. Every day. Open it, see 400 due cards, feel the dread, close it. So I put them somewhere I couldn't avoid: the MacBook notch. NotchWise surfaces flashcards while you work. Hover the notch, read the question, flip, rate. Five seconds. Back to whatever you were doing. Imports any Anki deck (.apkg). SM-2 and FSRS scheduling. Auto-switches decks based on your active app. Invisible during Zoom. Everything runs on-device. Free to start. Pro £14.99 one-time.

NotchWise surfaces spaced repetition flashcards in the macOS notch. Import Anki decks, review without leaving your workflow. Free, Pro £14.99 one-time.

NotchWise surfaces flashcards in the macOS notch for ambient spaced repetition. Review cards without leaving your workflow. Import your Anki deck or create a few cards. Takes two minutes. You're working. The notch subtly shows "12 due". You hover, review three cards in 15 seconds, and get back to what you were doing. Between tasks, the notch nudges again. Five more cards. You barely noticed. Simple tools for reviewing flashcards without switching apps. Import .apkg decks, SM-2 & FSRS algorithms, AnkiConnect sync. Your Anki decks work as-is. Nothing to reconfigure. Auto-switches deck based on your frontmost app. Xcode open? Swift cards. Browser on MDN? JavaScript cards. Hides during screen…from notchwise.app

  I made Ankify that converts notes to Anki cards2022 · ankify.krxiang.com · ▲180

  Backstory: I was in medical school and had to study a ton of materials in short period of time. I came across Anki but always had trouble with making cards. In my mind, making cards should be quick, seconds instead of minutes. My other problem is after making the cards, each card does not really relate to the other. When you study the individual card, your thought process is very random and not cohesive. I wanted to be able to still reference to my notes for big concepts and then use the cards to memorize the details but also for long term retention. Ankify came out of that. At the time, I…

  I made a nice Anki-app for iOSDec 2025 · apps.apple.com · ▲6

  Hi HN, I recently got the AnkiMobile app for iOS for Mandarin. It was buggy and feature-lacking in my opinion, so I made a nice looking Anki-compatible alternative app, with more features. It uses a tuned FSRS5 algorithm and supports image occlusion out of the box. You can import your existing Anki decks into it or create a new one. Pretty quick to add cards with the image feature. I'm using it right now and will add more to it so let me know what you think. FYI, it has a one-off purchase of $14.99 to unlock it for lifetime (no taksies backsies) after a test period of seven days.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
