Free Flashcards for Android with Spaced Repetition
You probably have a project you’re working on right now with your assistant. That project probably involves a certain topic you should learn about, not just read about, but remember. Some jargon or terminology, some particular aspect of the language or the vocabulary of the thing you’re building… You can always use a note app for that, of course. Take notes, grow a collection of notes that you’ll likely never open again, etc.
But if you really want to remember that stuff, then flashcard review with spaced repetition is probably what you’re looking for. With such approach, you memorize items by actively reviewing them, and the application remembers which of the items you didn’t know yet and presents them to you more frequently, until you know them well enough. Conversely, you keep getting less and less frequent reviews of what you already know. There’s a free Android application called ForgetMeNot that follows precisely that approach. It’s a GPL-3 licensed, subscription-free, account-less application. You can install it from the Google Play Store, F-Droid, Amazon Appstore or Huawei AppGallery.
This application supports three ways to review your cards (self testing, multiple choice, spell check), allows you to flip your cards, provides hints with masked characters and has text-to-speech support (for pronunciation). You can define your own spacing for individual decks, create lists, edit decks right from the review and backup your data. It has a dark mode too! Nothing seems to be missing.

By default, it also contains a deck catalog with language learning decks: basic words, thematic lexical sets, phrases, etc. If all you need is to learn some English while you work on your project, you’re good to go right away — just select a deck!

It’s a CSV file importer, so you can create any kind of decks, including language learning ones, and import them. Just ask your agent to create a CSV file of a deck for you on the chosen topic and import it. Easy, right? Of course, the first time you do that, it will take a bit longer, but you’ll get used to it quickly. You can also change the spacing for individual decks.
How to create your own deck with your agent
It has a feature called “walking” mode that you might not think you need much, but you will find yourself using it more than you think. It reads the questions and answers to you in order, so you can use it while doing other things or in combination with other activities. You can even set different TTS voices for questions and answers. If you want to learn a foreign language, you might want to use different languages for questions and answers.
"Create a CSV file with 50 flashcards about [topic]. Use two columns: Question and Answer. Separate with a comma. One card per line. Start with header row: Question,Answer. Make questions short and answers complete but concise." For language learning: "Create a CSV file with 80 word pairs. Format: english_word,russian_translation — including a header row. Focus on vocabulary for [your domain]."
How to import the deck
- 1Save the agent's output as a .csv file (or .txt — any delimiter-separated format works)
- 2Open ForgetMeNot on your Android device
- 3Tap the + button and choose Import
- 4Pick your file — the app creates a new deck from it automatically
- 5Start studying, or set a custom interval scheme for this deck first
