Mini rant. I love the concept of flashcards and I think that Anki is a great idea. Good to see it there. But how in hell is that the best we have? Why is the format so arcane, why is it so hard to create decent flashcards etc? Just try looking for good quality decks and you'll quickly find yourself going through the familiar disappointment, followed by a burst of can-do fervour "I CAN BUILD AND SHARE GOOD DECKS!" and the eventual frustration at the whole experience. So you give up, and after a while the one or two half-decent decks you had on Anki get auto deleted.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.

I have found Leaf [1] to be a simple and plain spaced repetition program. It has very few features compared to Anki.

It does not have a large ecosystem of stack sharing, it's mostly aimed for those who write their own decks. You can compile it to a static binary and be sure that the decks you create work for a long time.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Anki is in fact not an alternative to anything, it is the de-facto flashcard tool. Nothing else comes remotely close, free or paid.

Yes but I want an alternative to anki because I find it horrible to create or edit decks
