MintDeck makes flashcards three ways. Type your own cards or import an Anki deck, a CSV file or scanned notes, free and unlimited. Generate a deck from a PDF, a photo, a website, pasted text or a topic using optional AI credits, paid as you go with no subscription. Then study for free by flipping classic cards, listening hands-free with audio, or taking a quiz, with every review scheduled by the FSRS algorithm.

The problem

Studying shouldn't be this frustrating.

You know the feeling. You spend hours reading notes, only to blank on test day. And the tools that promise to help? They're either stuck in 2005 or want $60 a year for basic features.

01

Quizlet Locked You Out

Quizlet just locked Learn Mode and Practice Tests behind a paywall. You shouldn't have to pay $60/year for spaced repetition that used to be free.

02

Tools That Feel Outdated

Powerful apps exist, but their interfaces feel like they haven't been updated in 20 years. You shouldn't need a tutorial to make a flashcard.

03

Re-reading Doesn't Work

Highlighting and re-reading feel productive, but research shows they barely help with long-term retention. You need a method that's backed by science.

That's exactly why we built MintDeck.

Built to help you remember

Everything you need to learn effectively.

Backed by cognitive science and built for real learners. No bloat, no paywalls — just the tools that actually help you retain more.
