FlashCard brings spaced-repetition flashcards to macOS with zero setup: no account, no cloud, no scheduler to configure. Your cards stay on your Mac. Reviews are fully keyboard-driven (Space reveals, → mastered, ← again), cards keep coming back until you've learned them, and you can import any CSV in seconds. It feels native: vibrancy window, automatic dark mode, emoji collection icons. Anki's power without the intimidating setup. Free and open source (MIT).
How does it actually handle the scheduling algorithm without any config, is it a fixed default like the classic Anki SM-2 or something simpler given there's no setup step?

Space to reveal, arrow keys to grade, that's all I needed to learn. The no-account local-only setup is genuinely refreshing compared to Anki's rabbit hole.

The vibrancy window paired with automatic dark mode is such a thoughtful touch, makes it feel like it actually belongs on the Mac instead of being a port. Keyboard-only review flow is exactly right for flashcard study.

The keyboard-only review flow is genuinely satisfying, especially how cards keep resurfacing until you actually nail them. Nice that everything just lives locally without needing to sign up for yet another account.
