Anki Alternative
Auto-Generated Flashcards Without the Manual Work

Anki is excellent — once you have a deck. Building that deck takes longer than using it.
Anki's spaced repetition algorithm is one of the most effective memory tools available. The problem is creating the cards. For a single lecture, students spend 30–60 minutes formatting cards, adding images, and making sure the phrasing is right. That's time taken from actually studying.
Learnlo auto-generates your flashcards from any upload in under 90 seconds. No card templates, no formatting, no reverse-side setup. You also get AI-graded written-answer exams and knowledge gap tracking alongside the cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Learnlo have spaced repetition like Anki?
Learnlo uses adaptive follow-up exams rather than a full SRS algorithm. After each exam, the adaptive follow-up targets your weakest concepts for deeper review. Anki has a more rigorous long-term SRS engine; many students use both tools together.
Can I export Learnlo flashcards to Anki?
Learnlo does not currently export to Anki format. Learnlo is a self-contained study pack tool — you can study the auto-generated flashcards directly inside Learnlo.
Does it work for medical school Anki decks?
Learnlo is a general study tool. Upload your own lecture notes, textbook PDFs, or recorded lectures and Learnlo will generate flashcards and exams calibrated to that content. It does not import existing Anki decks like pre-made medical school decks.
How many flashcards does it generate?
Typically 15–25 flashcards per pack, scaling with the length and density of your uploaded material.
Is Learnlo free?
Yes — Learnlo has a free tier with 3 packs per month. Paid plans offer more packs and adaptive exams per pack.
Can I use Learnlo and Anki together?
Yes. Many students use Learnlo to quickly generate a study pack and identify weak topics, then transfer key concepts into Anki for long-term retention work.
Does it support image occlusion or card types like Anki?
Learnlo generates text-based flashcards and written-answer exams. It does not support Anki-style card types, image occlusion, or HTML card formatting.
