What is the Flashcard Maker?
The Flashcard Maker is an educational tool that allows users to create, manage, and study their own digital flashcards. Users can create "decks" of cards, with a "front" side for a term or question and a "back" side for the definition or answer. The tool then provides a study mode to help with memorization and learning.
History of this Feature

Our Flashcard Maker was built to provide a simple, free, and private way to create and study digital flashcards. By saving all data in the browser's local storage, it ensures users' study materials remain their own, without requiring an account.
