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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Try the editor

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.

Why not just use a doc?

Notes that just sit there aren't learning

Forty pages of notes in Google Docs look like progress. But a doc cannot tell you what you actually know. Keep your notes where every page can quiz you back.

  • Notes in a doc: Sit in a folder until the exam
    Notes in Ankra: Become flashcards and quizzes in a tap
  • Notes in a doc: You reread and hope it sticks
    Notes in Ankra: You explain it back and get graded
  • Notes in a doc: Math is a screenshot
    Notes in Ankra: Real equations, right in the text
  • Notes in a doc: The same info copied into five docs
    Notes in Ankra: Write it once, link it everywhere
  • Notes in a doc: Needs a connection to load
    Notes in Ankra: Works offline, syncs when you're back

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
