Frequently asked questions
Are these study tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use with no account, no sign-up, and no usage limits. They run in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
Do I need an account to save my flashcards?
No. Your flashcard decks are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. They stay private to you, but they will not follow you to another device or browser.
Which study tool should I start with?
If you are memorizing facts, dates, or vocabulary, start with the flashcard maker. If you struggle to focus, try the Pomodoro timer. Use the GPA calculator to track your grades and the citation generator when you write papers.
Do these tools work on phones?
The four browser tools work on phones, tablets, and computers, so you can study on the bus or between classes. The Hands-Free Anki Clicker is desktop only, since it drives Anki desktop through the AnkiConnect add-on. If you want to review from your phone instead, iPhone as Anki Remote turns your iPhone into the clicker.
