Mochi review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Mochi suits students who already take notes in markdown and want their cards to live next to those notes. If you want ready-made decks or a large user community, a more popular flashcard app is a safer start.

What Mochi is

Mochi combines a markdown notebook with spaced repetition flashcards. You write notes, turn parts of them into cards with one click, embed images, audio or video, and link cards and notes to build a network of related ideas, according to the developer. Recent updates added dictionary examples, including inflected Korean verbs and adjectives.
