A free Anki alternative

Flashcards, honest about memory.

FlashKeepers is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by Ankitects Pty Ltd. Anki's spaced-repetition engine is excellent, but it famously asks you to build your own decks and configure your own options first. FlashKeepers keeps real spaced repetition, adds 662 ready-made decks across 134 subjects, and imports your existing Anki .apkg decks, free, one-time $7.99 Pro.

"Anki" and "AnkiMobile" are trademarks of Ankitects Pty Ltd. Pricing and feature figures are from Anki's official documentation and the AnkiMobile App Store listing as of September 2026 and may have changed since.

Frequently asked

Is this an Anki product?

No. FlashKeepers is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Ankitects Pty Ltd. It supports the same kind of spaced-repetition flashcard review Anki users already rely on.

Can I import my existing Anki decks?

Yes. Import an .apkg export directly, fields map to front/back, multi-cloze notes convert to one card per cloze, and scheduling starts fresh so you're not carrying over Anki's own review history.

What is "teach-back," exactly?

Instead of just flipping the card and rating yourself, you speak your answer out loud. On-device speech recognition transcribes it, and an AI grades whether you actually got it right, with a one-line explanation of what you missed and a suggested spaced-repetition rating.

Is FlashKeepers Pro a subscription?

No. It's a single one-time unlock, $7.99, yours for good, no monthly or annual renewal.

Are there ads?

No, never, on the free tier or Pro.
