Start from a source
Draft new cards from your own material, then edit. No promise to move your existing decks.
Anki
An Anki alternative for starting with your own material.
Use Deckumi to draft cards from PDFs, notes or supported YouTube videos, then check the answers and review with FSRS. Anki remains a strong choice for existing decks, portability and customization.
A different starting point for flashcards.
Review with FSRS
Recall before revealing. Ratings and history inform later reviews; no guaranteed learning outcome.
Know the limits
Keep Anki if portability, offline study or its customization ecosystem is essential to your workflow.

Is Deckumi a complete replacement?
