Mnemesia: Flashcards & Study

Mnemesia is built for medical school: the course, the cards and the exam together in one workspace, from the first year to the national ranking exam. No account and no Mnemesia server: everything stays on your device, and it works offline.

COURSES
Import course PDFs from the Files app or Google Drive, and organize them by year, semester, module and chapter. Annotate them directly: highlighters, text, freehand drawings. Text recognition makes the text selectable, even on scanned lecture notes. A tape laid over a line hides it: lift it to check what you remember.

FLASHCARDS
Make a card from the open course without leaving it: front and back, cloze deletion, or image masking to quiz yourself on an anatomy plate or a physiology diagram. Spaced repetition decides what comes back, and when.

MULTIPLE-CHOICE TESTS
Build a test, take it against the clock, then go through the answers question by question: multiple choice, short answer and progressive clinical cases, images included. Every answer sheet stays available, missed questions can be retaken in one tap, and results break down by chapter. The scoring rules of the EDN (the French national medical ranking exam) are available, as well as points-based scoring for faculty exams. To practise, tick several tests: questions are spread across courses, each test keeps its own grade, and the session resumes where you left off. Past papers have their own view, PDF papers included.

J-METHOD
In the first year, each course you learn comes back at J1, J3, J7 and so on, in the calendar. Anything overdue shows at a glance.

ORGANIZING
Courses, groups, subjects, decks and tests can be ticked to move or delete them at once, or rearranged by dragging. Each subject keeps its colour across every tab.

PLANNER
Enter the exam dates: the review load spreads over the remaining days, starting with what weighs most.

EDN ITEMS
In the clinical years, a tab organizes the EDN items by specialty, and each course is linked to its item.

TABLET AND PHONE
The tablet holds the full workspace: courses, annotations, and building cards and tests. The phone keeps the essentials within thumb's reach, with tabs at the bottom of the screen: review your cards, take your tests, follow a three-day planner. Decks and tests import there too.

FILES
The Mnemesia folder is visible in the Files app. Documents stay as files, and whatever you delete goes to an Archives folder instead of being erased: nothing is locked into a format only this app could read.

IMPORT AND EXPORT
.apkg decks import as they are, media included, with their review history, and export back to .apkg. CSV and TSV lists import too.

PRIVACY
No sign-up is required and no data is collected. Documents, cards and results stay on your device.
