NotchWise

I kept closing Anki after 3 cards,so I put them in the notch

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.

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

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.
