I was reading a lot of technical books and kept highlighting things I wanted to remember — but I rarely went back to review them. The notes just sat there, on my Kindle or in the reading app.

So I started building something simple: a tool that lets me turn highlights into flashcards with as little friction as possible.

Just select text on your iPhone, share it with the app, and it creates a flashcard using AI — a Q&A pair and a short summary. You can browse cards in the app, or show them on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or watchface of your Apple Watch.

This is my first iOS app, and building it has been a great learning experience. I’m using Supabase for the backend which have been mostly great.

Nice. Minimizing UX friction is always difficult and this is clever.

I really like this. I'm going to grab some of my kiddos 7th grade biology notes (handwritten), and see what it does. I did notice that's it's a little hard to manage your deck: removing and shuffling are not obvious?

Let me know how it goes! I'm not always very happy with how the cards turn out, will see what I can do with some LLM prompt tuning.

Yeah, it's very barebones at the moment, if you swipe the name of a deck left on the list of decks, you should be able to delete it, and I haven't added the ability to delete individual cards yet. Shuffling is not possible, adding it to the backlog.

Good job! You have completely my thoughts. Does it work on macOS?

This is a great idea!
