Anki 26.09.4 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesAnki is a flashcard program built around spaced repetition, a study method that shows you each card again just before you are likely to forget it. Students, language learners and medical trainees use it to remember vocabulary, facts and formulas over months and years, spending more time on hard material and less on what they already know. The Mac app is the full desktop version, where most people build and organise their decks.
Key Features
- Decks and cards you can fill with text, images, audio and video
- Review scheduling that adapts to how well you rate your recall on each card
- Free sync through AnkiWeb, so your collection follows you across devices
- Flexible card layouts and timing controls that you can adjust to your study style
- Community extensions that add new features and study tools
- Comfortable with very large collections, so your decks can grow for years

Can I share decks with other people?
