Knovli — free flashcards, study modes and learning games

Q: How is Knovli different from other flashcard apps?

Three things. A card counts as Proven only when you get it right in two different modes, not once. Tell Knovli the date you need a deck learned by and it builds a paced plan that reshuffles when you miss a day. And studying earns the same XP whether you revise alone or play against someone.

Knovli — learn it, level up.

Knovli is an interactive learning platform for students and educators, built by a teacher with a master’s in Educational Technology and a master’s in American History. Create flashcards, study with multiple practice modes, master vocabulary, compete in learning games, explore geography with Knovli Atlas, and track your progress as you learn.

Create and share

Turn what you have into something you can study. Build decks with terms, definitions and images, or upload a PDF, a Word file or a photo of your notes and let Knovli draft the cards for you to edit. Keep a deck private, publish it to the community for anyone to copy, or apply to become a Content Expert and author Curated Content in Creator Studio.

Study your way

One set. More ways to learn. Every deck opens into eight study modes — Flashcards, Multiple Choice, Speed Quiz, the Vocab Maze, Type the Answer, Match the Pairs, Use It and Say It Your Way — all reading the same cards, so switching costs you nothing. Get a card right in two different modes and Knovli marks it Proven. Tell Knovli the date you need a deck learned by and it builds a paced lesson plan, mixing today’s terms with earlier ones so nothing slips, and reshuffling itself when you miss a day.

Play and compete

Studying doesn’t have to feel like studying. Four competitive modes, all earning the same XP a study session does. 1vWorld puts you against everybody playing right now; 1v1 is a challenge you send to one person; Group Play turns a deck into a live game for a whole room with a join code; and the Daily Quiz is a short, school-safe current-events quiz that keeps a streak alive.

Knovli Atlas

Explore the world. Master it. A world map that starts blank and fills in as you learn it. Seven modes cover countries, flags, capitals, borders and regions — from finding a country on the map to narrowing down a mystery one with yes/no questions. A country only counts as mastered once you have got it right in two different modes, and the United States drills down into its states.

For teachers

Teach it once. Knovli handles the practice. Create a class, share decks with it and set assignments with due dates — including a whole mastery plan, where every lesson becomes its own assignment. Completion and scores come back automatically. Curated Content, written and checked by subject specialists and organised by learning standard, sits alongside the community library.

Common questions

What is Knovli?

Knovli is a free interactive learning platform for students and teachers. You build flashcard decks — by hand, or from a PDF, a Word file or a photo of your notes — then study them eight different ways, play them as games, and track what you have actually learned. It was built by a teacher.

What does Knovli cost?

Building decks, the eight study modes, the mastery plan, Knovli Atlas and the play modes are free to use. The pricing page sets out what each plan includes.

Is Knovli for students or for teachers?

Both, and either on its own. A student can use Knovli with no teacher involved. A teacher can create classes, assign decks and quizzes and follow each student’s progress. More about Knovli.

Do I need an account to use Knovli?

You can browse public decks and read every page without one. An account is what saves your progress, your mastery plan and your own decks, and it is free to create.

Can I use Knovli with my class?

Yes. A teacher can set up classes, assign decks and quizzes, publish a class calendar and follow each student’s progress. The teachers page covers how a class is run.

Where do the flashcards come from?

Three places: the ones you make, the public decks the community has published, and Curated Content written by approved Content Experts. You can copy any public deck and edit your own version of it.

What subjects does Knovli cover?

Any subject you build cards for. There are ready-made decks and quizzes across the subjects and exams pages, and Knovli Atlas covers world geography — countries, flags, capitals, borders and regions.

How is Knovli different from other flashcard apps?

Three things. A card counts as Proven only when you get it right in two different modes, not once. Tell Knovli the date you need a deck learned by and it builds a paced plan that reshuffles when you miss a day. And studying earns the same XP whether you revise alone or play against someone.
