hascard is a minimal command-line utility for reviewing notes. ‘Flashcards’ can be written in markdown-like syntax.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Command-Line Interface which offers three commands:
- run – essentially the same as just hascard, but the run command can be given a file to run the application on directly. When run on a file directly, parameters like whether to shuffle the deck are specified via CLI options instead of in a menu.
- import – delimited text files can be converted to definition or open question cards
- export – convert hascard cards to delimited text files for use in other applications
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows. A snap is available for Linux.
