NeuraCache Spaced Repetition 4+

NeuraCache represents a modern class of apps. Rather than taking on the burden of “doing everything” — managing creation of content, sync to devices, and display and assessment — NeuraCache integrates with your existing content systems, syncs via iCloud, and focused on the “last mile”: a great UI to display and challenge memory recall on flash cards.

This is a massive breath of fresh air, in an area that has frankly stagnated. You’ll be comparing this against Anki, the gorilla app of the category. But the Anki app UX is frankly immensely dated and old school. It is not a joy to use. NeuraCache makes the excellent choice: why not use your existing note taking system that you already love? And with that, it steps the whole field forward.

You can use NeuraCache in different ways. In its original, “quick” style, regular notes that you wish to be tested or reminded on can be easily added in, with a simple markdown format. So in a page of notes, you can highlight three or four items for NeuraCache to pick up.

I use it in the more traditional, “here’s a flash card” style, where I’ve created a folder of flash cards for it to sync. This is easier for me to manage, iterate, and isolate. But I appreciate greatly the roots of the app and its flexibility.

Very highly recommended.

Thank you for your kind words and time ❤️
You are spot on regarding the goals/strengths of NeuraCache 👌
Have a great day!

I don’t review often, but this app is so good that I would shout it from the rooftops if I could!! Trying to keep up with the influx of medical school material while learning it and making flash cards is tough. I take notes on one note, but I struggled constantly to copy and paste into anki. And if I changed my notes, I have to always manually input the change in anki. That takes so much time, and in med school, time is precious. This is where NeuraCache comes in. The BEAUTIFUL sync between OneNote and this app makes my life SO easy. I’m days ahead of fellow classmates because I’m not spending hours copying and pasting but rather, I’m jumping right to learning those flashcards. This app has improved my workflow substantially.

Also, the layout is really aesthetic. And it seems like really awesome functions like cloze cards are in the pipeline, so I’m excited to see where this app goes. I can’t go back to Anki now that I have this!

of Note:
- still testing out the efficacy of the spaced repetition algorithm. Maybe it’s my years of doing “Due” cards but in this app, what limits you seems to only be the Queue Limit and not a timed “Due”.
- I do wish there is a desktop version/web of this so I could not be doing the flashcards on my phone. Besides this, fantastic app.

Thank You for a very detailed review! ❤️
Desktop Mac version is on the roadmap 👍

This is an incredibly well thought out app. It solves the issue of spaced repetition lacking in so many of our favorite apps. The importing process is snappy and so intelligent. You can even update cards on in your favorite service (Notion, Evernote, plain markdown, etc.), and all prior progress is still synced.

As a primary Craft user, I hope you guys can add batch flashcards for Craft soon!

Thank you! ❤️
We are observing Craft very closely 👀
