From lecture notes to exam practice
AI Notes & Flashcards for Students
Turn your lecture notes, PDFs and recordings into study material. Practise with flashcards, explain ideas in your own words, and find what you need to review before the exam.
Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android
Join thousands of students using Ankra to make active recall a daily habit.
How Ankra works
Take notes. Make decks. Prove you know it.
You sat through the lecture. You took the notes. That is where most apps stop, and where Ankra starts. Everything you capture becomes something that teaches you back.
Take your notes
Type them in class, or let AI draft them from a photo, a PDF or Word file, a Google Doc, a YouTube video, or a lecture recording. Rich text, real math, images, and links between notes.
Turn them into decks
Any note becomes flashcards and quizzes in a tap. Spaced repetition brings each card back right before you would forget it.
Prove it with Feynman
Explain the topic back in your own words. Ankra grades what you got right, what you got wrong, and what you missed.
Your notes live here
Write it once. Learn it forever.
Take notes the way you already do: headings, highlights, tables, images, and real math equations. Write them yourself or let AI draft them from photos, PDFs, audio, even video. Every note stays yours to edit.
Link notes together
Reference one note inside another instead of copying the same explanation into five documents. Researchers call it the Zettelkasten method. You can call it never losing anything.
AI drafts, you decide
Generate a note from a lecture recording, a textbook photo, a PDF or Word file, a Google Docs or Slides link, or a YouTube video, then edit it like anything you wrote yourself. AI gives you a head start, not a locked document.
Works offline
Notes open and save with no connection, then sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android when you are back online.
No account needed. It runs right here in your browser.
You talk. Ankra listens and takes notes.
The moment of truth
Then explain it back
Rereading feels like learning. Explaining is learning. Start a Feynman session from any note or topic, explain it in your own words, and Ankra grades what you got right, what you got wrong, and what you missed. Every gap becomes a flashcard.
- Your own notes become the source Ankra checks you against.
- Notes in another app? Export them as a PDF and upload it. Feynman sessions, flashcards, and quizzes work the same from there.
Exam Planner
Your exam has a date. Now your studying does too.
Add an exam and attach the decks it covers. Ankra paces the remaining cards day by day, keeps a revision buffer before the date, and rescues reviews that would have come up too late.
- One honest status line: on track, 12 cards a day until the date.
- Cards scheduled after your exam get pulled forward while it still matters.
Who it is for
For Every Class on Your Schedule
Biology & Chemistry
Turn a semester of lecture notes into decks before finals, diagrams and all.
Math & Physics
Write real equations in your notes, then drill them as flashcards.
History & Social Sciences
Link people, dates, and events across notes, then quiz until the timeline sticks.
Languages
Collect vocabulary in class and let spaced repetition handle the memorizing.
Med & Law School
Tame huge volumes of material with linked notes and daily reviews.
Everything Else
If you can take notes on it, Ankra can quiz you on it.
Better Together
Build the Perfect Deck as a Team
Study together, your way. Share a single deck in a tap when you just need one set of cards, or start a Study Circle, a shared space where your whole group builds and keeps many decks together. Everyone contributes cards on their strongest topics and checks each other's work, so you end up with decks that are thorough, accurate, and built by people who actually know the material.
- Share one deck in a tap, or start a Study Circle for ongoing group study across many decks
- Everyone contributes cards on their strongest topics, so every topic gets covered
- Review and verify each other's cards and quizzes for higher accuracy
- Turn any folder into a Study Circle to build and study it together
