## What it is
Anki is an open-source spaced repetition flashcard program for desktop computers, built with Rust and Python. It schedules reviews at optimal intervals, syncs via AnkiWeb, and supports media-rich cards and community add-ons.

## Use cases
- memorize vocabulary with spaced repetition
- study for medical or law exams with flashcards
- create flashcard decks with audio and images
- sync flashcards across desktop and mobile devices
- download and study shared decks
- extend flashcard features with add-ons

## When to choose
- you need proven spaced repetition scheduling for long-term retention
- you want large decks (100k+ cards) with media support
- you want cross-device sync and a large add-on ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need only simple one-off quizzes without scheduling
- you want a fully hosted web-only solution
- you need real-time collaborative editing

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: gui, scheduling, plugin-system, data-visualization
- domain: education, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, windows, rust, python
