The Anki alternative

InputDojo vs Anki

Anki-grade SRS, modern UX, and a reader that auto-creates your cards.

Why InputDojo

Anki is the gold-standard SRS — and a notoriously clunky one. InputDojo uses the same SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm but auto-creates cards from words you tap while reading, ships with pre-built JLPT/HSK/CEFR decks, and runs anywhere without sync headaches. You can still export to Anki anytime if you want.

Best for

Anki users who want to keep the SRS discipline but tired of manual card management, deck-hunting, and a 2005-era UI.
