What It Does
RemNote combines note-taking with built-in spaced repetition flashcards. As you write notes, you mark key facts as "rems" (testable items), and RemNote automatically generates flashcards and schedules them using a spaced repetition algorithm. It also supports bi-directional linking (like Obsidian), PDF annotation, and an AI assistant that can generate flashcards from your notes, explain concepts, and quiz you interactively.

Try This
Take notes on a chapter of any textbook, using :: to mark 15 key
term–definition pairs as you go. Complete your daily flashcard queue for a
week. Compare your retention with material you reviewed by re-reading
alone. Then paste an unmarked paragraph and use the AI to auto-generate
flashcard rems from it.
