Should I choose Digestly or Anki?

Choose Digestly when you want fast AI-generated flashcards from course material. Choose Anki when you want maximum manual control over spaced repetition and card formatting.

Do Digestly flashcards include citations?

Digestly is designed to attach source citations to supported flashcards when source mapping is available, so students can check a generated card before exporting or reviewing it.

How do logged-in export workflows work?

Logged-in workflows are for saved study sets, continued study from the same source, export or share options where available, and source-aware review before moving material elsewhere.

What does Pro add before export?

Pro is useful when students need source coverage, gap workflows, coverage-aware review, repeated generation, and citation-aware review before deciding what flashcards deserve longer-term study.

Does Digestly replace spaced repetition?

Digestly focuses on creating study material from source content. Spaced repetition workflows can still be useful depending on how a student reviews the generated material.
