Cram less,
remember more.
Make your own flashcards and let spaced repetition decide when you see them again — so what you study actually sticks until the exam.
Free forever · No credit card required
Students are assigned more than they can read. Dense papers, long chapters, endless articles, so you skim, cram, and forget it a week later. Speed-readers help you finish; none help you remember.
Bookisty is built for required reading. It processes what you’re assigned, surfaces what matters, and schedules it back into your memory before you need it.
Everything that turns studying into recall.
Make your cards, review them on a schedule that beats the forgetting curve, and bring in AI when you want the work done for you.
Write your own cards. Make a card for anything you need to know, edit it whenever, and keep decks organised by subject. Free, unlimited.
Reviewed on schedule. SM-2 spaced repetition brings each card back right before you’d forget it — and nothing when you wouldn’t.
Or let AI do it. Upload a reading and Premium writes the summary, the flashcards and the practice questions for you.
Comprehension, not just completion.
Bookisty checks understanding as you go and points you back to the source when an answer slips.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Bookisty different from ChatGPT and other chatbots?
Chatbots answer one-off questions and then forget them. Bookisty is a study system: you make flashcards, and spaced repetition schedules them so they stick until the exam. It's built to help you remember, not just get a quick answer.
Do I need to upload anything to use Bookisty?
No. Making your own flashcards and reviewing them is completely free and needs no uploads. If you do want to upload a reading — PDFs, pasted text, and links all work — Premium can turn it into flashcards and a summary for you.
How does the spaced repetition work?
Bookisty schedules reviews with the SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm, the same method behind SuperMemo and Anki. It resurfaces each concept right before you'd lose it to the forgetting curve first documented by Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885. Cards you find hard come back sooner, mastered ones fade into the background, and adding an exam date front-loads your reviews so everything peaks the week of your test.
Is my work private?
Your flashcards and uploads are used only to create your study materials and are not used to train AI models. You can delete anything at any time.
How much does it cost?
Making flashcards and reviewing them is free forever, with no credit card and no card limit. Premium is $7 per month and adds AI: upload a reading and it generates the flashcards, summary and practice questions for you. Cancel anytime.
