RemNote
Notes that turn themselves into spaced-repetition flashcards.
About
RemNote fuses outline note-taking with flashcards: you write notes, mark key concepts, and they become spaced-repetition cards automatically, with AI generation from notes, PDFs, and lecture transcripts. Cards live inside your notes, so every review shows full context, and it supports both SM-2 and the newer FSRS scheduling algorithm plus exam-date planning.
Medical and language students swear by it, and the free plan is genuinely usable with offline apps. The trade-offs: the interface has a learning curve, the serious AI allowances sit on the $18/month Pro-with-AI tier, and Anki still wins on add-ons and two decades of proven scheduling.
