Turn any webpage into a flashcard you'll actually remember. ； Lianki is a spaced repetition learning system that helps you retain what you read online. Instead of bookmarking pages you'll never revisit, Lianki schedules them for review using the scientifically-proven FSRS algorithm — showing you content right before you'd forget it.

Spaced repetition is a learning technique where you review information at increasing intervals. When you remember something easily, Lianki shows it to you less often. When you struggle, it comes back sooner. This builds long-term memory with minimal effort.
Apps like Anki have proven this works — but Lianki removes the friction. No card creation, no formatting, no templates. The webpage itself is the card.

- Add
jpdb.io/reviewas a Lianki card - Add anime episodes, manga chapters, or articles as separate cards
- Lianki schedules both vocabulary reviews (jpdb) and content (anime/manga)
- Watch an episode → review it in Lianki → study new words on jpdb
- Next time the episode comes up, you'll know more vocabulary
The content gets easier with each loop. See the full workflow in our blog post.
Q: How is this different from Anki? A: Lianki is optimized for reviewing web content (articles, videos, manga readers), not isolated facts. No card creation needed — one hotkey saves any page. Anki excels at drilling individual words/concepts; Lianki excels at looping through materials that teach you those concepts.
Q: What algorithm does Lianki use? A: FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition System), the same modern algorithm used by Anki's latest versions. It's more accurate than the old SM-2 algorithm from the 1980s. Read more in our FSRS algorithm blog post.
Q: Does it work offline? A: Yes! Guest mode works fully offline using IndexedDB in your browser. Your cards and reviews are stored locally. Sign in to sync across devices and access your cards from any browser.
Q: Is it free? A: Yes, Lianki is free to use.
Q: Can I export my cards? A: Not yet, but export functionality is planned.
