Anki
Spaced-repetition flashcard program that schedules reviews based on how well you recall each card.
Free desktop app with add-ons and free AnkiWeb sync.
Anki is a spaced-repetition flashcard program. It suits students and learners who need to memorise large amounts of material and will build or download their own decks.
What it is
Anki groups cards into decks and schedules reviews from your recall ratings. Cards can include audio, images, video and scientific markup, and add-ons extend the program. The repository holds the source of the computer version.
