A spaced-repetition reading app for students

Stop re-reading. Start recalling.

Upload a PDF. Read it, map it, and review it right before you'd forget.

Write it once answer it later

Reading

These afferent fibres carry signal inward, and the dorsal horn's first synapse decides how much travels on.

Your own material, with any word defined in place.

Forgetting is predictable.So it can be interrupted.

Three reviews in six months: 93% recall instead of 51%. Plotted by the scheduler itself, not drawn.

Dashed line: 90% recall — where the next review lands.

Read it whereit came from

EPUB, PDF, or notes you paste in, kept on your device. Long-press any word and the definition opens over the page you are on.

Mark a passage and the note stays on it. Resume any document on the exact line you left. Three type faces, and a warm filter that takes the blue out.

Read at 2am without the glare.

Frequently asked questions

Starting out

What is an active recall app?

An active recall app makes you retrieve answers from memory instead of passively re-reading notes — the most effective, research-backed way to study. FlowRecall makes you do exactly that on your own material: you write a question and its answer as a card, and it asks you with the answer hidden, right before you would forget.

Can I generate flashcards from a PDF?

Yes. In Flashcards, the AI makes a deck from your notes or a PDF: true-or-false and fill-the-blank cards, each with an explanation you can question. For what you decide matters most, you write your own cards in Review, two lines each - and both are scheduled by the same FSRS-6.

How it works

What spaced repetition algorithm does FlowRecall use?

FSRS-6 — the Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler — ported from its published specification rather than approximated. It keeps a stability and a difficulty for every concept, and schedules the next review for the day your recall is predicted to fall to 90%. It runs on your device, so the feed works offline.

Can I read books and PDFs inside FlowRecall?

Yes. The Reader opens EPUBs, PDFs and pasted text, remembers your place in each, and lets you long-press any word for a definition without leaving the page. Highlights carry notes, type is serif, sans or hyperlegible, and a warm eye filter takes the glare off late-night reading.

Choosing it

Is FlowRecall better than Anki for med school?

You shouldn't have to build your study system before you can study. That is the real cost of hand-made cards: the hours between opening a lecture and answering your first question. FlowRecall puts the reading and the remembering in one place — you read the chapter here, write the cards that matter in seconds, and let the AI make a deck from the lecture PDF for the rest. FSRS-6 schedules every one. For medical students facing volume no one can hand-card, that is the difference between a system you keep up with and one you abandon in week three.

Is FlowRecall free?

FlowRecall is free to start, with no credit card required. Reading, highlighting, your cards and the scheduler are never metered; the free tier caps only the optional AI - definitions and AI decks - and Pro removes those caps.

You'll forget most of this by tomorrow.

That's the curve above, not a guess.

Free to start, no card needed. Pro is ₹449 for an exam term — ₹5 a day, one payment, no auto-renewal.
