Study Deck Builder
Study smarter with private AI
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Study Deck Builder transforms your notes into powerful Anki-style flashcards in seconds, using Apple Intelligence, entirely on your Mac.
Whether you're cramming for finals, mastering a new subject, or keeping pace with weekly lectures, Study Deck Builder does the heavy lifting. Paste your notes, import a document, or photograph your handwritten notes and let on-device AI build your study deck automatically.
COMPLETELY PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Unlike other study tools, your notes never leave your device. There is no account to create, no data uploaded to servers, and no cloud processing. Apple Intelligence runs entirely on your Mac so your lecture notes, study material, and exam prep stay yours alone. Always.
SMART FLASHCARDS, INSTANTLY
• Paste notes or type directly and AI generates question-and-answer flashcards automatically
• Import PDF textbooks, Word documents, or web pages
• Photograph handwritten notes and Apple Vision reads your handwriting and extracts the text
• Every card includes a forward and reverse side for deeper recall
• Adjust how many cards to generate with a simple slider
STUDY SMARTER WITH SPACED REPETITION
Study Deck Builder uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm, the same science behind Anki, to schedule cards based on how well you know them. Rate each card as Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and the app learns your weak spots, surfacing them more often until they stick.
• Tracks your performance across every session
• Shows cards due for review at a glance from your deck list
• Session history so you can see how far you've come
YOUR PERSONAL AI STUDY TUTOR
Stuck on a concept? Open the built-in Study Tutor, powered by Apple Intelligence, and ask anything. The tutor knows your subject and guides you with Socratic questions rather than simply giving you the answer, helping you build real understanding, not just memorisation.
All tutor conversations happen entirely on-device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
BUILT FOR MAC
• Clean, focused interface designed for macOS
• Full dark mode support
• Adjustable text size for long study sessions
• Keyboard shortcuts throughout for fast reviewing
• No account required. No subscription. No ads.
Study Deck Builder is your private, intelligent study partner.
