QuickDeck Study

Flashcards. Free. No paywall ever.

Every feature, from the first launch.

No account, no login, no cloud. Everything runs on your device and works fully offline — nothing in this post is hidden behind a wall.

What QuickDeck Study does

QuickDeck is the offline flashcard app for students burned by every paid alternative — Quizlet locking Learn behind $35.99/yr, AnkiMobile's $24.99 one-time on iOS (with a UI from 2003), and Knowt dropping 56 spots in App Store Education in four days when it paywalled previously-free features during May 2026 AP exam season.

What QuickDeck does:

— Spaced repetition on-device. Open-source FSRS-6 algorithm runs in pure Swift inside the app. No model, no AI, no server. — Import the decks you already have. Drop in a Quizlet CSV export or an Anki .apkg file — QuickDeck reads them locally, no account. — Make decks from scratch in seconds. Big text field for question, big text field for answer, swipe up to add another card. — Study mode with three buttons: Again, Good, Easy. That's it. Tomorrow's cards are scheduled by FSRS, not a paywall. — Stats on what you actually know. Retention rate per deck, time spent, daily streak. SwiftData on this phone. — Custom decks, custom tags, search across all your cards. — No account, no email, no analytics, no cloud sync, no ads, no IAP, no "upgrade for unlimited cards." If you have 12,000 cards across 30 decks, they're all free, forever, offline.

For the 7M+ US high school and college students who got priced out of Quizlet, who can't stomach Anki's UI, and who just lost access to Knowt right before exams.

Why we built it

Students need a flashcard app with proper spaced repetition that won't paywall them right before an exam — but Quizlet, Knowt, and AnkiMobile each either subscribe, gate Learn mode, or look like 2003.

What makes it different

QuickDeck is the only iOS flashcard app that imports .apkg + Quizlet CSV offline, runs open-source FSRS-6 on-device, and has never had a paywall in its source code — AnkiMobile is $24.99 with a clunky UI, Quizlet paywalls Learn mode at $35.99/yr, Knowt fell 56 spots in May 2026 when it paywalled previously-free AI fea…

Who it's for

Students, parents helping with homework, and adults who just want a fast answer without an upsell.

In one line: Flashcards. Free. No paywall ever.
