Your own packs

Every pack you make is free. There's no limit.

Your notes, your class, your exam. Make as many packs as you like, then study them just like the built-in ones.

Type them in

Add a front and a back, card by card.

Paste a list

Copy from a spreadsheet, a CSV or your notes, and each line becomes a card.

Generate them with any AI

Describe the cards you want and Pensara writes the prompt. Send it to ChatGPT, Gemini or any other AI app you use, then paste the answer back to bring the cards in. AI can get facts wrong, so check them before you study.

The app only goes online to buy a pack or restore a purchase. Your app store takes the payment, and RevenueCat confirms it using a random, anonymous ID. Read the Pensara privacy policy for the details.

Questions

Before you start.

Is Pensara on iPhone?

Coming soon. Pensara is on Google Play for Android phones today, and the iPhone version is on its way. This page will link to it when it ships.

Does Pensara work offline?

Yes. Every pack ships inside the app, and studying, games and your own packs all work with no connection. You only need a connection to buy a pack or restore a purchase.

How does the spaced repetition work?

Your daily review is a short quiz. Pensara uses each answer to decide when to show the card again, sooner for the ones you missed. Each day's review holds the cards you're about to forget, plus up to 10 new ones.

Can I make my own flashcards?

Yes, for free and with no limit. Type cards in by hand, or paste a list from a spreadsheet, a CSV or your notes. You can also generate cards with ChatGPT, Gemini or any other AI app: Pensara writes the prompt, you send it, then you paste the answer back. Pensara never contacts that app itself.

Is there a subscription?

No. Nine packs are free, your own packs are free, and the other nine packs are one-time purchases of $0.99 each in the US. Pensara Plus unlocks all of them, plus every pack added later, for one payment of $9.99. Your app store shows your local price.

What if I lose my phone?

Your cards and progress live only on your phone, so Pensara has no copy to restore. Your phone's own device backup may include them if you have it turned on. Packs you bought and Pensara Plus come back with Restore Purchases in Settings.

Make your first pack tonight.

Free to download, and your own packs are free with no limit. On Android now, iOS coming soon.
