QuickStudy Mobile
Spaced-repetition flashcards — SM-2, CSV import, no paywall on the learning.
QuickStudy Mobile is spaced-repetition flashcards done honestly: the SM-2 algorithm, CSV import for your existing decks, and the study modes free — because the paywall was never the pedagogy.
The algorithm is free. It always was.
What it does for you
Real spaced repetition
The SM-2 algorithm schedules each card at the edge of forgetting — the method with decades of evidence, not a streak gimmick.
Your decks come with you
CSV import brings your existing decks over — including the ones you exported from the apps that started charging.
Study modes, not paywalled
Learn and test modes are the product, not the upsell. No daily caps, no “rounds remaining.”
Free means free
No subscription, no ads in the study path. Students are the customer, not the product.
Capabilities
- SM-2 spaced-repetition scheduling
- CSV deck import
- Learn and test modes — uncapped

Proof, not adjectives

- Evidence-based core
- SM-2 is the published spaced-repetition algorithm with decades of research behind it — the scheduling isn't invented here.
- Free by design
- The pricing is a design constraint, not a launch promo: free, with no paywalled study modes, from day one.
What they offer vs everything we offer
Anki is the free, open-source gold standard — powerful, and famously fiddly. Quizlet is easy — and meters the learning. QuickStudy is the third option: SM-2 scheduling with an interface that doesn't require a manual, and no paywall on the study modes.

Anki is free and open-source; the $24.99 iOS app funds the project. Quizlet Plus pricing from public sources, October 2026. QuickStudy is in design — “free” is the committed model, not a launch promo.
Buy it or rent it — your call
Every Creytix tool carries both prices. Buy it outright and own it forever, or rent it month to month — renting is always cheaper than buying. No per-seat traps, no forced bundle.

There's nothing to buy — QuickStudy is free. If a paid tier ever exists, it won't touch study modes.

Is QuickStudy really free?
Yes — that's the design constraint, not a launch promo. No subscription, no ads in the study path. If a paid tier ever exists, study modes stay free.
Why not just use Anki?
Anki is excellent and free — the gold standard for spaced repetition, and we say so plainly. QuickStudy exists for everyone who bounced off Anki's setup: the same SM-2 scheduling with an interface that doesn't require a manual.
What about Quizlet?
Quizlet's free tier caps Learn and Test modes; Plus is $7.99/mo or $35.99/yr. If you're happy paying, stay. QuickStudy is for students who want those modes without the meter running.
Can I import my Quizlet decks?
CSV import is the supported path — export your decks as CSV and bring them over. One-click importers for specific apps are on the roadmap, not promised.
When does it launch?
It's in design, building toward a first mobile release. Join the list and you'll hear when the beta opens.
Does it work offline?
Yes — offline study is a core feature. Your cards live on your device; sync is a convenience, not a requirement.
