Flashdown is a minimalist flashcard app for seamless studying and note-taking in Markdown.
Your flashcard decks are just simple Markdown files, which means you can create cards directly while taking notes. This is a perfect workflow for students and anyone who takes notes and wants to quickly turn them into study material. Each card is defined by a simple H2 header (## Your Card Title).
Because your decks are plain text files, they are:
- Easy to manage: You can organize them with any file manager.
- Future-proof: Plain text is a universal format.
- Editable with any editor: Use your favorite text editor to make changes.
