Six things MindFlash does that other flashcard apps don't
The combination that makes MindFlash the right second app for the NotebookLM workflow.
1. Import directly from NotebookLM
NotebookLM creates flashcards from your sources. MindFlash imports them in one tap. Two-column CSV, no header, no transformation. The whole import takes 30 seconds.
2. FSRS instead of SM-2
FSRS is a more modern spaced-repetition algorithm than SM-2. It learns from your review history per-deck, adjusts difficulty and stability per-card, and produces better retention at the same review count. The same algorithm Anki now supports via the FSRS plugin, built into MindFlash by default.
3. On-device AI tutor that does not watch you back
A local model that runs entirely on your phone. Tap a card during review, get "Explain this card" / "Why is this wrong?" / "Give me a hint". Nothing is uploaded. The only AI tutor that does not watch the student back.
4. Zero account, zero cloud
No email, no profile, no behavioral analytics. Your decks, your review history, your AI tutor questions — all local, all yours, all deleted when you uninstall the app. The privacy story is the architecture, not a policy.
5. Runs offline. Always.
No network call required for review, for FSRS scheduling, or for the AI tutor. Works in airplane mode. Works on a phone you have never signed into.
6. Direct CSV import from anywhere
Anki, Quizlet, plain spreadsheets. Two-column CSV with no header. MindFlash reads them all. The import preview shows the first 5 cards before you commit, so you can verify the parse is correct.
