From source to study session in three steps
Bring your own material and Scholarly turns it into a ready-to-study deck.
Upload your material
Drop in a PDF, Word doc, PowerPoint, image, YouTube link, website, or audio recording — or paste your notes.
AI builds your deck
Scholarly reads your source and writes clean question-and-answer cards that test understanding, not rote recall.
Study and remember
Flip cards, rate difficulty, and let spaced repetition resurface what you're about to forget — right before exams.
Why students love Scholarly flashcards
Stop spending hours making cards by hand. Let AI do it in seconds.
Instant generation
Upload any file type — PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, images, YouTube links, websites, or audio recordings — and get flashcards in seconds.
Spaced repetition
Our algorithm schedules reviews so you study what you're about to forget. Master material before exams with less total study time.
AI Chat while you study
Stuck on a card? Press Cmd+J to chat with AI about the concept. Get explanations, examples, and memory tricks instantly.
Everything you need to prepare for exams
All the tools to create, study, and master your flashcards
Five Density Levels
From Low (~30 cards) for a quick review to Very High (400+ cards) for exhaustive study, or let AI pick a density based on your source.
Build Manually
Skip the AI when you want to. Type your own questions and answers in the Build Manually tab — no daily limit, no AI required.
Refine with AI
Tell the AI to make the whole deck harder, simpler, or more detailed in one action. No more editing cards one at a time.
Smart Study Mode
Flip cards, rate difficulty, and let the algorithm adapt. Focus Mode auto-launches a 10-question Quick Review when you start studying.
Adaptive Quizzes
Study questions are generated alongside your flashcards in a single step. Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and short answer.

What uses my daily AI creation?
Generating flashcards, improving a flashcard deck, making a podcast, creating a video lecture or infographic, building slides, making a mind map or study guide, or processing a recording each use the same daily free AI creation allowance. AI Chat messages, uploads, quizzes, and exams have their own separate daily limits.
