Anki makes you hand-build every card and manage decks, add-ons, and sync. Fasrad turns your notes, highlights, or a photo into cards and quizzes you on schedule — conversationally.
Anki has the best spacing algorithm and makes you do everything around it — authoring cards, managing decks, opening an app to grind a queue. Fasrad keeps the algorithm and removes the chore: cards drafted from your own material, review as a conversation, and the schedule that comes to you. You learn; the deck takes care of itself.
Anki's spaced repetition is the gold standard — and the reason most people quit is everything around it: authoring each card by hand, wrangling decks and add-ons, syncing across devices, and opening a dated desktop app to grind a review queue. The science is great; the chore is real. Fasrad keeps the science and removes the chore. Tell your assistant what you're learning — point it at your notes, your Kindle highlights, pasted text, or a photo of a textbook page — and it drafts the cards. Then it quizzes you in chat, on an FSRS-6 schedule, and nudges you when something's due.
What that changes day to day:
There's no deck management, no add-on ecosystem to maintain, no AnkiWeb account to sync. The cards live in your second brain alongside your notes and highlights, so studying and reading aren't two separate apps.
Anki gives you a powerful engine and makes you build and feed it. Fasrad gives you the same engine and does the building and feeding. You learn the material; the cards and the schedule take care of themselves.

Yes — FSRS-6, the modern free-spaced-repetition scheduler, built in. Each answer updates the card's schedule the same way Anki's FSRS add-on would, without you installing or tuning anything.
Anything you point at: your notes, your Kindle highlights, pasted text, a CSV, or a photo of a page (OCR). Your assistant drafts the cards, shows you a preview, and you commit the ones worth keeping — no authoring from a blank box.
Just say "quiz me" (or on a deck/topic). Questions come in chat, you answer in your own words, and your assistant grades them and schedules the next review. No separate app, no queue to open — and it nudges you when cards are due.
Bring your cards as a CSV (Anki exports to text/CSV) and they import into a deck, schedules intact where present. From there they review the same way — by conversation, with FSRS-6.
Cards you keep missing get reformulated automatically — a clearer prompt or cue. You can also just tell your assistant "rewrite this card" and it does. No editing in a clunky card template.
No. There's no deck-tree to curate, no add-on ecosystem to maintain, no sync account. Cards live with your notes and highlights, so studying and reading are one place.
Yes — point it at your Kindle highlights or any notebook and it turns the key passages into cards. The book you read becomes the deck you study, automatically.
