Study Card

A study card turns something you want to learn into a question and its answer, building a reviewable knowledge base over time. The title is the question; the answer lives inside the card. Ask "What causes the northern lights?" and answer "Solar particles striking the upper atmosphere" — then come back and test yourself whenever you like.

How to Create

Press n to open the New Card menu, or the number key matching Study's position in your enabled card types (typically 8).

1. Tap New Card from anywhere in the app.
2. Choose Study from the card type list.
3. Phrase your title as the question you want to be able to answer.
4. Fill in the answer, and optionally a hint and notes, in the Study point.

The Study Point

The Related point (Point 3) on a study card has three fields:

• Answer — The answer to the question in the title.
• Hint — An optional nudge to jog your memory before you reveal the answer.
• Notes — Optional extra context, sources, or detail.

Tips

• Write a real question. Phrase the title as something you'd actually ask — a clear question is easier to recall and easier to answer.
• Keep answers concise. A tight answer is easier to review at a glance. Push longer detail into Notes.
• Use the hint to self-test. Read the question, try to recall the answer, peek at the hint if you're stuck, then check yourself.
• Build a subject with Decks. Group related study cards into a Deck (Point 4) to grow a whole subject area in one place.
• Pair with spaced review. Study cards are made to be revisited — a little and often beats cramming.
