Pupil is a beautiful, open-source flashcard app that helps you remember everything. Type a topic and AI drafts a deck you approve card by card, or drag in your Anki decks. FSRS spaced repetition brings each card back right before you'd forget it, with stats that surface weak spots. A calm, keyboard-first desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Free and MIT-licensed: no account, no subscription, and your cards stay on your machine.
