What StudyCards is
StudyCards is a web and API study tool from StudyCards in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany. It turns chats, PDFs, slides, and other study materials into flashcard decks for spaced-repetition study. Users can create cards with their own Claude through a copy-paste bridge, an MCP server, or the REST API; the site says AI use is unlimited on every plan. A card editor includes shortcuts and autosave, with FSRS spaced repetition, deck sharing, and printable PDF export. Anki and Quizlet imports are listed, and homepage converters handle Quizlet, CSV, and Markdown decks. PDF and PowerPoint files are read in the browser rather than uploaded. The service runs in modern browsers with swipe gestures for mobile study, but no mobile app is listed. Plans are Free (billed billed monthly), Plus at $5 a month, and Ultimate at $15 a month.
