I’ve used Anki pretty consistently throughout my university studies for just about every course. I plan to continue using it to keep a high level overview of some of the important maths concepts I want to stay fresh on.

I’ve been enjoying Mochi[0] as an alternative recently. It has a much nicer UI and the core features I use are all there. I find it much faster to create my cards in Markdown and with a keyboard driven workflow than what I had with Anki.

Too bad there is no mobile app. That + cloud sync is Anki's killer feature IMO.
If you don't mind my asking, how easy is it to export and import data with Anki? What sorts of formats does it use?
Is the repetition algorithm superior or inferior than Anki in your experience?
Anki uses a Super Memo algorithm and Mochi appears to be using a simpler one that doesn't take card difficulty into account.

I can see how using markdown to create cards would be a big draw, though.
