Why we built it
Most studying starts on paper: a textbook page, a handout, your own notes. Typing all of that into flashcards takes longer than learning it. PeekCards keeps the page as it is. You cover what you want to learn, and the app brings it back when it is time to look again. There is no account and no ads, and your pages stay on your device and in your own iCloud.
