Mnemosyne is a flashcard application designed to schedule reviews at the point when they are most useful.
After reviewing a card, you grade your recall and Mnemosyne uses that information when deciding when to show it again. Difficult material is presented more frequently, while well-remembered material receives longer intervals.
The program combines a deliberately straightforward interface with powerful card types, multimedia, hierarchical tags, statistics, synchronisation and extensive customisation through plugins and scripts.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Schedules reviews according to previous recall performance.
- Supports front-to-back, bidirectional, vocabulary, cloze and custom card types.
- Automatically keeps related sister cards synchronised while avoiding long-term reviews of sister cards on the same day.
- Cards can contain images, audio, video, HTML and LaTeX-rendered formulas.
- Integrates Google Translate and Google Text-to-Speech when languages are assigned to card types.
- Organises cards using multiple tags and hierarchical tag structures.
- Saved sets let you select study material dynamically by tags, card types and other criteria.
- Provides graphical statistics covering retention, schedules and learning activity.
- Imports plain text, Anki collections including learning data and custom card types, SuperMemo and other formats.
- Synchronises cards and learning data between computers.
- Extensible through plugins, configuration options and a scripting API.
- Includes a browser-based review server for accessing cards from another device.
