Flashcards for iPhone & iPad
Spaced-repetition flashcards for the MCAT, SAT, ACT, LSAT, languages — anything you need to remember. Import your own Anki .apkg decks or build your own, work problems with Apple Pencil, and get private on-device AI coaching that knows exactly where you're struggling.
Native app · iCloud sync · On-device AI · No ads, no tracking
Everything in one app
The proven spaced-repetition workflow, rebuilt as a fast, beautiful native app for iPhone and iPad.
An SM-2 scheduler shows each card right before you'd forget it — so you remember more in less time. Again / Hard / Good / Easy, just like you're used to.
Import the .apkg decks you already use — Synapse rebuilds the subject and chapter hierarchy and renders images and LaTeX — or create your own from scratch, right in the app.
Work physics and chem problems right beside the card. The scratchpad clears between cards so your reasoning stays with the question it belongs to.
See reviews over time, filter by range, and tap any subject to drill in. Spot the topics slipping before they cost you points.
Keep your PDFs, notes, and reference docs in nested folders right next to your decks. Open and read without leaving the app.
Study on iPad at home and review on iPhone between classes. Your decks and progress sync automatically through your private iCloud — no account to create.
On-device AI
Synapse uses Apple Intelligence to turn your own study data into real guidance — what to review next, which subjects are slipping, and how your progress looks. Ask it anything about your decks.
A look inside
Clean, fast, and native — from the review loop to the analytics dashboard.
Get going in minutes
Open the built-in starter deck, or import your own Anki .apkg file straight from the Files app.
Synapse surfaces what's due. Grade each card honestly and the scheduler handles the rest.
Check your stats and ask the on-device AI coach where to focus next. Sync picks up on every device.
Make it yours
Create your own decks from scratch — text, photos, and real LaTeX math — and Synapse studies them with the same spaced repetition, AI coaching, and iCloud sync. If it fits on a flashcard, you can learn it here.

Good to know
Yes. Synapse imports standard Anki .apkg files that you already own — just export your deck (with “Support older Anki versions” enabled) and open it in Synapse. We don't redistribute third-party decks; you bring your own.
No. It's tuned for the MCAT, but you can create your own decks — or import Anki decks — for anything you need to remember: other exams like the SAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE, bar, and boards, plus languages, anatomy, vocabulary, and music theory. The spaced repetition, photos and LaTeX, AI coach, and sync all work the same. See every exam.
Completely. The coach runs on-device using Apple Intelligence. Your study history is never uploaded — there are no servers and no account. It also works offline.
Yes — your decks, cards, and progress sync automatically through your private iCloud account. There's nothing to set up beyond being signed into iCloud.
Synapse is a universal app for iPhone and iPad. The on-device AI coach requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence; everything else works without it.
Synapse is free to download and use — 5 card reviews a day and up to 100 cards, with every feature included. Premium removes those limits for $79.99/year (with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time $99.99 lifetime unlock. See pricing for details.
Synapse is on the App Store — free to start, for iPhone and iPad.
