Vocabulary - Flash Cards turns every word you encounter into lasting knowledge.
Reading an article, an email, or a book and hit a word you don't know? Save it in a tap and let spaced repetition do the rest.
Vocab Cards is a focused, beautifully simple flashcard app built around how memory actually works.
CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE
Use the system Share button in Safari, Mail, News, or any app to send a word straight to Vocab Cards — no copy-paste, no switching apps. The word it came from and where you found it are saved automatically for context.
INSTANT DEFINITIONS
Definitions, parts of speech, and example sentences are pulled in automatically. Tap to hear any word pronounced aloud. No definition handy? Save the word now and fill it in later.
REMEMBER WITH SPACED REPETITION
Vocab Cards uses a proven SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm to schedule each card at the perfect moment — right before you'd forget it. Review only what's due, and watch words move from "new" to "known."
