What is a good alternative to Anki?

For learners who value Anki’s scheduling but want faster card creation, Repeto combines FSRS with AI-generated cards and two-way .apkg compatibility. It is designed to reduce setup and manual copying while keeping decks editable and portable on the web; the Repeto update for iPhone and iPad is in preparation.

How it works

From source to scheduled review in four steps.

  1. 01

    Import your Anki deck

    Drag in an .apkg to bring across decks, cards, and media instead of rebuilding years of study material.

  2. 02

    Create without templates

    Type a term or add a PDF, link, recording, note, or photo. The deck decides the fields and card style it needs.

  3. 03

    Review with FSRS

    Use Again, Hard, Good, and Easy while FSRS schedules the next review for each individual card.

  4. 04

    Export if you leave

    Send a deck back out as .apkg. Trying a different workflow does not mean surrendering your collection.

Why Repeto

Built for the Anki user who wants less friction

One input, subject-aware cards

A Spanish word gets translation fields; a physics topic gets a concise concept card; a history event becomes a retrieval question.

Documents become decks

Generate batches from PDFs, notes, links, YouTube, lecture recordings, or photos, then approve only the cards worth keeping.

A calmer default experience

Start reviewing without assembling add-ons or maintaining templates. Deck instructions remain available when you want precise control.

A closer look

What changes—and what does not—when you leave Anki

An alternative should improve the workflow without forcing you to discard the collection and study habits you already built.

FSRS remains the scheduling foundation

Repeto uses the same modern scheduling family familiar to current Anki users. You still recall first and then rate the answer Again, Hard, Good, or Easy; the scheduler uses that history to estimate the next useful interval.

Card creation moves into the product

Instead of combining templates, browser extensions, and separate generators, you can enter one term or add a source directly to a deck. The deck instructions define the fields, language direction, answer length, and other constraints.

Migration should begin with a representative deck

Anki packages can contain custom note types, templates, and media. Import a deck that represents your real collection, inspect the preview, and verify several cards before moving everything. Portability is valuable only when the result is checked.

Export keeps the decision reversible

Repeto can export a deck as .apkg, so trying the web and AI workflow does not require a permanent commitment. Keep an external package when you want a portable checkpoint or plan to compare both tools over time.

The difference

Repeto vs. a traditional Anki workflow

Both can schedule serious long-term study. Repeto puts card generation and source processing into the core workflow.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can Repeto replace Anki?

It can replace the everyday create-and-review workflow for learners who want FSRS plus built-in AI card generation. Because Repeto imports and exports .apkg files, you can test that workflow without abandoning your existing decks.

Can I import my Anki decks into Repeto?

Yes. Import an Anki .apkg to bring decks, cards, and included media into Repeto.

Can I export Repeto cards back to Anki?

Yes. Repeto supports .apkg export, so you can move a deck back to Anki or keep an external copy in Anki’s portable format.

Does Repeto use FSRS?

Yes. Repeto uses FSRS spaced repetition and the familiar Again, Hard, Good, and Easy review ratings to schedule future reviews.
