Turn your MacBook notch into a flashcard review surface. Import Anki decks, review cards in 8 seconds, never leave your workflow. Free to download, Pro upgrade available. NotchWise turns your MacBook notch into an ambient flashcard review surface. Cards appear passively while you work hover to see a question, click to flip, rate your recall, and get back to work in seconds. LEARN WITHOUT INTERRUPTING YOUR WORKFLOW No app switching. No window management. NotchWise lives in the notch area (or a floating widget on non-notch Macs) and surfaces spaced repetition flashcards during natural workflow gaps. A full review takes under 8 seconds. FULL ANKI COMPATIBILITY Import your existing Anki decks (.apkg files), use the same scheduling algorithms (SM-2 and FSRS-4.5), and sync bi-directionally with Anki desktop via AnkiConnect. NotchWise is an Anki companion, not a replacement. SMART CARD CREATION Drag text from any app onto the notch to create new cards. On-device AI suggests front/back pairs from definitions, cause/effect statements, dates, and lists. A quality evaluator and duplicate detector ensure your deck stays clean. CONTEXT-AWARE REVIEWING NotchWise detects which app you're using and automatically switches to the relevant deck. Coding in Xcode? Get programming cards. Browsing in Safari? Get vocabulary cards. INVISIBLE WHEN NEEDED Automatically hides during screen sharing (Zoom, Teams, Slack), macOS Focus modes, and presentations. Your flashcard habit stays private during calls.
