Recall
Beautiful, fast flashcards that remember for you.
A calm, modern spaced-repetition flashcard app powered by the FSRS scheduler — the most accurate open-source algorithm for knowing exactly when to review. Supports basic, basic+reverse, and cloze card types; image and audio cards; on-device import of Anki .apkg decks (including media), CSV files, and Quizlet exports. Fully offline, fully private. iOS and Android.

Beautiful, fast flashcards that remember for you
What you get
Recall was built for exactly this.
The core features that make Recall different from the generic alternatives.
FSRS spaced repetition
The state-of-the-art open-source scheduler shows you 4 grades — Again, Hard, Good, Easy — and displays the predicted next review interval for each. Smarter than the SM-2 algorithm Anki used for 15 years.
Card types
Basic, Basic+Reverse, and Cloze — write the front and back once, and Recall figures out which side to test.
Image & audio cards
Attach photos, diagrams, or audio clips to any card for richer study sessions (Recall Pro).
Import your decks
One-tap import of Anki .apkg files (including embedded media), CSV files, and Quizlet exports — fully on-device, zero lock-in, your decks stay yours.
Study mode
Tap to reveal, grade with one tap, undo the last card if you mis-graded. Clean and distraction-free.
Stats dashboard
True retention percentage, a GitHub-style review heatmap, a due-cards forecast chart, and retention broken down by subject (Recall Pro).
Custom FSRS targets
Dial in your desired retention rate — higher for high-stakes material, lower for casual review — and the scheduler adapts (Recall Pro).
Light & dark themes
A calm, minimal interface that steps aside and lets you learn.
Fully offline
All cards, reviews, and imports are processed entirely on-device. No account, no server, no snooping.
No ads, ever
Recall is supported by Recall Pro, not by advertising or data collection.
A note from the studio
“I studied for exams on Anki for years and loved the science but never the app. Quizlet felt like a social network with a paywall. I wanted something quiet, fast, and affordable — that respected the work you already put into building your decks.”
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Import or create your decks
Drag in an Anki .apkg, paste a CSV, or start typing cards from scratch. Your existing decks are home in seconds.
02
Study with FSRS
The scheduler shows you the right card at the right moment. Grade with one tap — Again, Hard, Good, or Easy — and Recall calculates the optimal next interval automatically.
03
Watch your retention grow
The stats page shows your true retention rate, your review heatmap, and a forecast of upcoming cards. Science-backed learning that quietly compounds.
