About SmartRecall
SmartRecall is an AI-powered flashcard app built on the proven SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm — the same one Anki uses. The difference: instead of manually building cards from textbooks, paste any PDF, Wikipedia article, or your study notes and get review-ready cards in seconds. Built for students prepping for high-stakes exams (USMLE, MCAT, bar, CFA), language learners, and anyone serious about long-term retention. Native iOS app + Web. Offline-first sync. Free tier covers daily review; upgrade unlocks AI generation quota. Why SmartRecall vs. Anki: Anki has the algorithm, you do the work. SmartRecall does the work, the algorithm runs in the background.
