Synapsi vs Knowt

Knowt makes the cards. Synapsi makes sure you learned them.

Knowt is a free way to turn notes and PDFs into flashcards. Synapsi does that too, then adds the part Knowt skips: an AI-judged Feynman teach-back, mock exams across a whole folder, and FSRS spaced repetition that proves you actually learned it.

Knowt won a lot of students by keeping flashcards and study modes free. Synapsi is free to start, keeps review free, and goes one step further: it checks you understood the material, not just that you generated cards from it.
