Cards that know what you keep getting wrong
Build a deck, study it six different ways, and let mastery decide what comes back tomorrow.

Study Hub
Organize, learn, and master your subjects.
Everything in it
Everything Study does
Most flashcard apps stop at the card. This is the full list, grouped the way a student would look for it.
Decks and cards
Unlimited cards on every plan, including free.
Import what you already have
Bring decks in from Quizlet, Anki, or a CSV. Nothing has to be retyped to get started.
Write your own
A card editor with term, definition, an optional image, and a hint. Reorder by dragging.
Cards the Assistant made
Ask for a deck on a lesson or a note and it drafts one. You approve every card before it lands.
Folders and subjects
Group decks by class, favorite the ones you live in, and search across all of them.
Public decks to browse
Search decks other students have made public and save a copy you can edit.
Skill tags
Cards carry the curriculum skill they test, which is how mastery reaches the rest of Slate.
Six ways to study one deck
The same cards, different pressure. Each mode grades a slightly different thing.
Flashcards
Rounds that keep the cards you missed and retire the ones you secured, so a session ends clean.
Practice
Multiple choice, written answers, and true or false, with the mix and the difficulty up to you.
Test
A generated test over the deck, timed if you want it, graded at the end with a review pass.
Diagrams
Drop labels onto a picture. The way you actually get asked about a cell or a map.
Recite
Say a passage out loud and Slate listens. Bible mode covers all 66 books in 17 translations.
Match and the rest of the games
Four game modes, all built over your deck, all feeding the same mastery score.
The games
Playing has to count, or it is just a break. Every one of these moves mastery.
Match
Pair terms to definitions against the clock. The fastest way to warm up a deck.
Memory
Concentration over your cards, so recall has to survive the gap between flips.
Asteroid Belt
Shoot the right definition before it reaches you. Recall under time pressure.
Crossword
A real crossword generated from your deck, clued by your definitions.
Mastery and spaced repetition
The part that decides what you see tomorrow.
A score on every card
Slate tracks each card separately, so one card you keep missing does not hide inside a deck average.
Scheduling that front-runs forgetting
Cards come back just before you would have lost them, and cards you own get out of the way.
Mastery bands
Every deck shows how much is new, learning, or secured, so you can see the work left at a glance.
The activity heatmap
A year of studying on one grid. Useful for spotting the weeks you quietly stopped.
Streaks with freezes
Keep momentum without being punished for one bad Tuesday. Paid plans add freezes.
It leaves the deck
Card mastery rolls up into your skill map, which is what Plan and the Assistant read.
Arena, live and in the room
Six hostable modes over any deck, built for a classroom or a group chat.
Classic quiz
The host controls the pace and everyone answers together. Speed wins the tie.
Speed race and racing
Answer at your own pace, most correct wins. Racing puts the same idea on a track you move along.
Survival
One wrong answer and you are out. Short, loud, and very good at holding a room.
Heist and territory
Heist has you earning gold and then deciding whether to keep it or steal a rival’s. Territory claims ground.
Presenter view
A projector screen with the question, the timer, and the leaderboard, separate from what players see.
Join with a name
Players enter a code and a name. No account, no email, which matters for a class of 30.
Wherever you are
Studies offline
Decks are cached on the device. Study on a bus with no signal and it syncs when you resurface.
Install it
Slate installs as an app on desktop and phone, with a native iOS build in the works.
Reminders that know what is due
Push notifications built from your actual review queue, not a generic nudge at 7pm.
Speeches worth knowing
Recite ships the Gettysburg Address, the Preamble, Psalm 23, and the balcony scene.
One context
What happens after you miss a card
This is the trip no single-purpose flashcard app can make, because the next three steps live in other apps.
- 01 · Study
The card is graded, not the deck
You miss osmosis for the third time. That card’s mastery drops and it moves to the front of the queue.
- 02 · Skill map
It becomes a weak skill
The card is tagged to a curriculum skill, so the miss shows up on your map next to everything else that touches it.
- 03 · Plan
Thursday rebuilds itself
Your study block for Thursday fills with cell transport, because your planner can read what your studying said.
- 04 · Learn
Straight to the fix
The Assistant points at the water potential lesson, you take the check, and mastery moves back up.
A session that ends somewhere
Flashcards run in rounds. Cards you secure retire, cards you miss come back inside the same session, and the bar at the top shows exactly how much of the deck is still open. You finish because the deck is done, not because you got bored.

5 / 12What it does not do yet
- You cannot publish a deck yet
- Browsing and saving public decks works today. Publishing your own to a public library, with ratings, is still being built.
- Handwriting is not read
- Card images display, but Slate does not turn a photo of your handwritten notes into cards. Notes can run text recognition on a photo.
Where your studying goes
Study is the spine. Mastery from your cards is the same signal Plan schedules against, Arena plays over, and the Assistant reads before it answers.
