Stop Wasting Time on Flashcard Creation

The Traditional Way

  1. Open PDF in one app
  2. Switch to flashcard app
  3. Create card, copy-paste both sides
  4. Repeat 100+ times...
  5. No link back to source material

~2 min / card

100 cards = 3+ hours wasted

The Lernation Way

  1. Upload PDF
  2. Highlight what matters
  3. Switch to Review
  4. Done. Spaced repetition handles the rest.
  5. Every card links to its PDF source

~3 sec / card

100 cards = 5 minutes

40× faster

More time studying. Less time organizing.

From PDF to Mastery — All in One Place

Annotate, practice writing, reveal & rate — with cloze deletions, hints, and a built-in scratch pad. No flashcard app needed.

Learn Mode

Annotate & Add Notes

Highlight text, draw areas around formulas, or select any part of your PDF. Add rich notes, hints, tags, and cloze deletions — each annotation becomes a flashcard automatically.

  • Text selection, area drawing, freehand
  • Add notes, hints, and cloze deletions
  • Hierarchical indexing (1, 1.1, 1.2, ...)

Review Mode

Write, Recall, Compare

Annotations are hidden. Use the built-in scratch pad to write your answer — formulas, definitions, diagrams. Then reveal the original and compare. No switching between apps.

  • Built-in scratch pad for writing answers
  • Hints available if you get stuck
  • Type or draw — whatever works for you
Spaced Repetition

Rate & Let the Algorithm Handle the Rest

Rate each card (Again / Hard / Good / Easy). The FSRS algorithm schedules your next review at the perfect time. Focus on what you got wrong. Skip what you already know. Study less, remember more.

  • FSRS-6 algorithm (proven by research)
  • Study ranges: focus on specific chapters
  • 7-day review forecast and statistics
