Nothing here is yours yet. This app comes with a sample deck — 341 Hebrew nouns — so you can see how it works before bringing your own words.

Nothing is recorded. Stop whenever you like — it costs the sample deck nothing, and you can remove it later from the Library.

A deck is a set of cards. Import one as a file, or write your own two cards and start there.

Directions

Recognition asks cue → answer. Production asks answer → cue.

Add or edit a card

A new card joins the open deck. Edit current loads the card you are looking at instead — and for a mnemonic alone there is a shorter way round: Add a hint on the card once you have revealed it.

Profile

Another subject

A profile is a subject with its own decks, its own progress and its own scheduling. Keep Hebrew and anatomy in two of them and neither one's spacing is fitted to the other's memory. One is plenty until you are learning two unrelated things.

Cards

Sample deck

341 Hebrew nouns with their meanings and tags. Comes in as a new deck, alongside whatever you already have. The same deck is also a file at /decks/rama-alef.json if you would rather hand it to somebody.

Import

A card list is a JSON array of cards. Each needs a cue and an answer; mnemonic, tags and id are optional. The template is four cards showing all five, and it imports as it stands. Exports from this app — a deck, a profile, everything — import here too.

This card

Held by

Taking a card out of a deck is not deleting it. It stays in this profile, stays in every other deck holding it, and keeps its schedule and every review it has had. Put it back whenever you like.

Also put it in

A card in two decks is one card: one schedule, one history, and an edit in either deck is the same edit. Nothing is copied.

Delete from the profile

Deleting is the other act: the card goes from this profile and from every deck holding it, taking its schedule, its mediator-fade and its logged reviews with it. That one cannot be undone.

Prioritise new cards

Advanced — which direction comes first

Both directions still arrive. Once the day’s allowance has taken what it can from the leading direction, the other direction of those same cards is next in line — ahead of everything the priority is not aimed at — and what waits today is first tomorrow. It can put a direction off; it cannot switch one off.

Which directions you study at all is yours, on the opening screen: Both, Recognition or Production. This orders the directions you have chosen and never adds one — leading with production while you review recognition only changes nothing, and the line above says so when that is where you are.

Why this only touches new cards

The day’s new cards are drawn from these tags first; when they run out of unseen cards the rest of the profile fills the day out. So this narrows the order in which you meet things and never the supply.

Your reviews are untouched. Everything due is still due, interleaved across the whole profile, whatever is prioritised here — narrowing what you meet costs you nothing, and narrowing what you review would cost you your schedule.

This is not the practice filter under Practice. This shapes what you meet, for credit and for keeps; the filter shapes what an ungraded practice run goes over. They can be set to different tags, and usually should be.

Filter practice by tag

What a deck made this way is

It holds the cards carrying these tags right now, by reference: the same cards, one schedule each, and an edit in either place is the same edit. It is a selection, not a copy and not a saved search — a card tagged afterwards does not appear in it, and one that loses the tag does not leave it. Run the filter again whenever you want a fresh one.

What this filter does and does not narrow

These tags shape practice — Today’s cards and This deck — and nothing else. Your reviews are never narrowed: a due card is due whatever it is tagged with, and the schedule stays interleaved across the whole profile, which is the form that keeps everything alive.

A card is practised when it carries any one of the tags you pick — a union, not an intersection. Cards with no tags at all are outside every filter. Narrowing like this is blocked practice, useful before a trip; it costs nothing here because a practice run records nothing.

Back up & export

A priority file is a recipe, not a backup: its name, the tags it is aimed at and the direction it meets first, and nothing else. No cards, no schedules, no history — it restores nothing, and importing one aims this profile at the tags the recipe names, over whatever cards you already have.

What the last update could not carry

An update once changed how this app stores things and could not bring the old arrangement across. Before it did, a copy of what was stored was kept. This is that copy. It is not a file this app can import — it is the raw shape of what was there, kept so that nothing is gone for good and somebody who knows the format can get it back.

User

Somebody else at this device

A second person learning on this device gets their own profiles, decks and progress. These are local profiles rather than accounts — there is no password and no server, and anyone at the device can switch between them.
