AI-powered flashcards
The most effective study method, now automated. Snap a photo of your notes, get flashcards in 60 seconds. Proven techniques, zero effort.
Why flashcards work
Flashcard studying isn't just tradition—it's backed by cognitive science. Here's the research.
Active Recall
HighFlashcards force you to retrieve information from memory, strengthening neural pathways. More effective than passive re-reading.
Spaced Repetition
Very HighReview cards at increasing intervals. Cruxly tracks what you know and what needs more practice, optimizing your study time.
Interleaving
HighMix different topics in your study sessions. Cruxly's varied question types (MCQ, T/F, fill-blank) keep your brain engaged.
Elaborative Interrogation
Medium-HighAsk 'why' and 'how' about what you're learning. AI-generated questions prompt deeper thinking about concepts.

Frequently asked questions
Why are flashcards effective for studying?
Flashcards leverage active recall—the process of retrieving information from memory. This is scientifically proven to strengthen neural pathways more than passive reading. When you see a question and try to remember the answer, you're actually learning. Re-reading notes feels productive but doesn't create the same memory reinforcement.
How is Cruxly different from other flashcard apps?
Most flashcard apps require you to type every card manually. Cruxly creates them automatically from photos of your notes. A deck that takes 30 minutes to type takes 60 seconds with Cruxly. Plus, AI generates diverse question types—not just simple Q&A—so you're tested on the material in multiple ways.
Can I edit the AI-generated flashcards?
Yes. Every flashcard is fully editable. If the AI misreads a word or you want to rephrase a question, just tap to edit. You're always in control of your study material.
Does the app work offline?
Quiz generation requires internet (cloud processing). However, once flashcards are created, you can study them offline. We're working on full offline mode for future updates.
What's the best way to study with flashcards?
1) Study in short, focused sessions (25-30 minutes). 2) Review cards you got wrong more frequently. 3) Space out your study sessions over days, not cramming. 4) Test yourself before looking at answers. Cruxly's spaced repetition features help automate this process.
