Easy word

Click to flip

Good, this word seems easy to remember, we wouldn't show it to you next week.

New word

Click to flip

This new word is initially considered risky to forget. We will show it to you soon and assess whether it's easy or difficult to recall.

Hard word

Click to flip

Can't remember it? It's totally fine! We will show it to you at the next session.

Confusing word

Click to flip

If you feel you can't remember or confuse with other words, add an association that helps you to remember.

What you get

📁

Project-Based Organization + Real SRS

Organize your learning into Projects → Decks → Cards, each with a full SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm and cross-device sync. Study Spanish in one project, English work vocabulary in another — progress and statistics never mix. Switch between projects in one click.

📅

Weekend Learner Mode

Set different daily card limits for weekdays and weekends. Busy Monday? Do 10 cards. Free Saturday? Go through 50. No other flashcard app lets you configure your learning load this precisely — no streaks breaking, no guilt.

🌍

Not Just Languages — Learn Anything

Most apps lock you into a fixed set of languages. Memicards works with any topic and any language pair. Capitals, legal terms, medical vocabulary, historical dates, guitar chords — if it fits on a card, you can learn it.

💡

Associations & Mnemonics

Every card has four fields: word, translation, example sentence, and a mnemonic association. Struggling with the Armenian word «կատու» (cat)? Write «sounds like "ka-too" — imagine a cat going KA-TOO-CHOO when it sneezes». Mnemonics make hard words stick in a fraction of the time.

Batch Import via CSV

Don't type cards one by one. Import hundreds of words at once from any CSV file — paste a vocabulary list from your textbook, export from another app, or generate with AI and drop it in.

📊

Progress Tracking & Analytics

See exactly how your learning is going — retention rate, cards learned over time, difficult words list, and weekly goals. Know which words keep slipping through and focus on what actually needs work. No more wondering if you're making progress — the numbers tell the story.

Scientifically proved

Time Retention Without review With review 1 day 3 days 1 week

Spacing Effect

You review cards at increasing intervals — 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, etc. This timing matches how your brain naturally forgets and reinforces memory.

Active Recall

Instead of re-reading, you actively try to remember. This strengthens neural pathways better than passive review.

Difficulty Adjustment

Rate each card from "again" to "easy." Hard cards show up more often, easy ones fade into longer intervals.
