Same algorithm as Anki. Built into your reading, not a separate app.
Anki is the gold standard for memorization and FSRS is its algorithm. Reedle uses that same algorithm. The difference is where it lives. In Reedle, the flashcard moment happens at the reading moment. No separate app to open, no deck to manage, no setup to maintain.

Key differences
You have to make the cards manually, or spend hours configuring plugins so highlights flow into Anki in a usable format. Setting it up properly requires YouTube tutorials. And once you have it, there's the wall of guilt: decks you haven't touched in weeks, reviews accumulating.
The flashcard moment happens at the reading moment. Read a paper, highlight a key concept, tap "Turn into flashcard." It's scheduled automatically. You review it in the same app where you read. Three taps, no deck to manage.
Zotero sync + mobile PDF + AI chat + FSRS in one app. No more juggling Zotero → Anki → separate PDF reader on mobile.
The algorithm is the same. The setup is gone. Start a card in three taps from any article, PDF, or YouTube transcript.
The loop that makes reading stick.
Where Anki wins
We believe in honest comparisons. Here's where Anki is genuinely stronger:
- Anki's deck ecosystem and community add-ons are unmatched, especially for language learning with cloze deletions and media.
- Anki is free. Reedle Pro is $4.99/month.
- If you have a large, carefully curated Anki deck that's working for you, keep it. Reedle doesn't conflict — use both.
