AnkiEx application interface

Created by students, for students.

Anki is already one of the best tools for students, language learners, and medical students. But it's 2025, and we wanted to make flashcard creation faster and easier than ever before. AnkiEx does just that—highlight some text, hit the shortcut, and let AI generate flashcards customized to match your existing card style and learning preferences.

Highlight any text in Safari, emails, documents, or anywhere on your Mac. Press Cmd+Option+A and AI generates perfect flashcards instantly. Cards are created directly in Anki with one keystroke. Customize how cards are created for each deck in settings—AnkiEx learns from your existing cards and matches your writing style, question format, and level of detail. Every new card feels like you created it yourself.
