Flashback is a study tool built by students that turns course materials into flashcards, quizzes, and chat-based review sessions. You feed it content from Notion pages, YouTube videos, PDFs, or pasted text, and it builds study aids around active recall and spaced repetition ideas.
The platform centers on three workflows. You generate flashcards and export them to Anki when needed. You test yourself with multiple-choice and free-response questions tied to your material. You chat with an AI study partner to practice explaining concepts and get clarification on weak spots.
Flashback references learning science research on its homepage, citing studies on retrieval practice and productive failure. The free tier gives you enough room to try the core features before upgrading.
