The science
This system — spaced repetition learning — is backed by over a century of research as one of the most efficient ways of learning anything.

While we know that the system works in theory, we also know that writing flashcards by hand takes time and effort, and it's hard to find the time for regular practice.
Flora makes the hard parts easy, by using AI to draft your flashcards, and scheduling reminders for a quick daily review.
Using AI to make you smarter, not the other way around
AI is smart, but it's not a replacement for your unique brain. Flora uses AI as a tool to turn your study material into questions worth answering, and then gets out of the way. You review the questions yourself, and self-report whether you remembered or forgot the answers.
You're in control; you can always edit, delete, or write new flashcards yourself, whether they were created by AI or by hand.
Things get clearer through repeated exposure
Just like the colour in a cyanotype image, your memories get stronger, deeper and sharper with more and more exposure. Every successful review of a flashcard increases the gap before it needs to be reviewed again.
After practising for a couple of minutes a day for a couple of months, you'll be able to retain and recall vast amounts of information for years.
Flora works on anything
Any format
Flora can generate flashcards from a web page, a PDF, a YouTube video, a podcast episode, a photo of a book, or a page of handwritten notes. If there's learnable knowledge there, we'll find it.
Any topic
The bones in the human hand, Dolly Parton's greatest hits, the documentation for an obscure software library, or your old physics textbook. Flora doesn't need a pre-existing curriculum to make something learnable — if you want to remember it, you can with Flora.
The more personal, the better
Your decks are your own, so you can generate decks of flashcards for things which only you would need to know: the names of your colleagues at the new job, all of your cousins' birthdays, or your favourite recipe for sesame noodles.
