LaTeX Cards: Create & Study Flashcards with LaTeX

A free, open-source flashcard app for Windows, Mac, and Linux, using LaTeX for mathematical equations and formatting.

What is LaTeX Cards?

LaTeX Cards is a free, open-source flashcard application for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It allows users to create and manage flashcard decks for studying any topic.

A key feature of LaTeX Cards is its support for LaTeX, the popular markup language used for typesetting mathematical and scientific documents. This allows users to seamlessly include complex equations, formulas, diagrams, and other mathematical elements in their flashcards. The app handles compiling the LaTeX source into beautifully formatted math expressions on the final flashcards.

In addition to LaTeX support, LaTeX Cards provides standard formatting options for bold text, italics, lists, fonts, colors, and more. Flashcards can contain text, images, and formatting on both the front and back. Users can create multiple decks to organize cards by topic and even share decks with others.

When studying with LaTeX Cards, users can use features like batched study, where a subset of cards are shown in a timed session to drill knowledge. There is also a spaced repetition algorithm that helps optimize the studying and review process by showing cards at just the right time.

With LaTeX Cards being free and open-source software, it has an engaged community contributing new features and improvements. It works across platforms, can import existing Anki decks, and keeps all data local on the user's device without needing any accounts or internet access.
