About

Building SmartRecall — AI flashcards for exam prep, after burning through three months of USMLE prep on Anki and falling behind every week. Writes about spaced repetition, the cognitive science of long-term memory, and where AI helps (and hurts) studying.

SmartRecall - Turn any PDF textbook into AI flashcards in seconds

SmartRecall turns PDF textbooks, lecture notes, and question banks into ready-to-review AI flashcards in seconds. It creates Q&A, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and case-style cards, then uses SM-2 spaced repetition to bring weak cards back more often. Study on the web or native iOS app with synced decks. Free to start with 20 credits and no card required—built for high-volume exam prep, but useful for any subject you can put in a PDF.
