Flashcard Buddy made such a difference on my history final. I totally remembered stuff I wouldn't have because I chatted with Max. I finished the final early and got an A! It helped me so much!

Max Scholar - Your AI Tutor

Meet Max, your AI tutor

Max helps you truly understand, not just memorize. Through questions and hints, he challenges you to build your own knowledge -- the same guided approach a UPenn study found equivalent to 6-9 months of additional schooling.

Guides, never gives away
Leading questions and hints help you discover answers yourself. Research shows this explanation-seeking approach produces significantly better outcomes than just getting answers from AI.
Adapts to your level
High school, college, or professional. Max tailors explanations to match your background.
Proves you know it
Explain concepts in your own words. Connect examples. Apply what you learned. The real test.

Pricing

No subscriptions. Ever.

Pick your pass, unlock everything, and when it's over, it's over.

No forgetting to cancel. No surprise charges in July.

Spaced repetition helps you remember more

The Science of Memory

Spaced repetition actually works

Your brain forgets things on a predictable curve. Spaced repetition fights back by showing you cards right before you'd forget them—turning short-term cramming into long-term memory.

Perfect timing, every time
Our algorithm tracks how well you know each card and schedules reviews at the optimal moment for retention.
Proven by 100+ years of research
From Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve to a 2025 UPenn study showing personalized AI learning equals 6-9 months of extra schooling. This isn't new -- it's established science.
Study less, remember more
No more wasted hours re-reviewing stuff you already know. Focus only on what needs attention.
Build a daily habit that sticks
Just 10-15 minutes a day beats cramming every time. Our system makes daily review easy and effective.

Questions you probably have

Free tier gives you 3 deck generations with 50 cards each, plus 5 AI tutor sessions and 12 uploads per month. To unlock unlimited everything, grab a pass: Finals Crunch ($9.99 / 2 weeks), Semester ($14.99 / 4 months), or School Year ($24.99 / 9 months). One-time payments only - no subscriptions, no recurring charges.

Nope. We don't do recurring charges. Pick a pass, use it for the duration, and when it expires, it expires. No forgetting to cancel, no surprise charges in July. Just simple, straightforward pricing.

All your decks and cards stay right where they are. You go back to free tier limits - you can still access and study everything you created, you just can't add more beyond the free limits until you grab another pass.

Yeah, it's pretty solid. Our AI actually understands context and pulls out the important stuff. That said, you can edit any card if something looks off. Think of it as a smart study buddy who does 95% of the work for you.

Pretty much anything - PDFs from your professor, phone pics of your handwritten notes, photos of textbook pages, typed docs. If you can read it, we can turn it into flashcards.

It's basically a smart way to study. The system shows you cards right when you're about to forget them - not too early (waste of time) and not too late (already forgot). Stuff you struggle with? You'll see more often. Stuff you know cold? Less often. It's how top students actually study.

Yes! FlashCard Buddy works seamlessly on all devices including desktops, laptops, tablets (including iPads), and smartphones. Our interface automatically adapts to your screen size for the best study experience.

Try the free tier first - no commitment needed. If you buy a pass and aren't happy within the first 7 days, just reach out and we'll make it right.
