API AUTOMATION

Built into your learning flow.

Recall Notes can create cards through an API. That is the major difference from ordinary flashcard apps.

Built into your learning flow.

Send cards from browser extensions, reading notes, Obsidian, Raycast, cron jobs, or AI summary tools. As an engineer, you can build the capture path that matches how you actually learn.
