MindDory FAQ

What is MindDory?

MindDory is a vocabulary builder for language learners. You collect the words you are learning wherever you meet them: a page, a photo, a browser tab, a chat with an AI. MindDory turns them into flashcards with smart translation, AI-generated stories, and visual memory cues, brings them back until they stick, and checks the sentences you write with them.

How does MindDory use spaced repetition?

In each session, MindDory prioritizes which cards to show - failed and harder cards first. You rate each card Easy, Hard, or Failed, and the app uses that to decide what to show next. You spend more time on words that need practice and less on ones you already know.

What languages does MindDory support?

MindDory supports learning in more than 60 languages. You add vocabulary in your target language, and the app provides translations, example sentences, and synonyms. The spaced repetition and flashcard workflow work the same for all languages, so you can build decks in Spanish, Japanese, German, or any of the other supported languages.

Is MindDory free?

Yes. The free plan includes spaced repetition flashcards, unlimited folders and cards, 30 smart translations per day, 1 AI story per day, 3 memory cues per day, the interactive Word Map, and cloud backup & sync. Forever free, no credit card needed. Premium ($49.99/year with a 7-day trial, or $7.99/month) lifts the daily AI caps and adds Word Map deep dive, synonyms & example sentences when adding cards.

How is MindDory different from Anki?

MindDory is built for language learners who want faster card creation and a simpler workflow. Like Anki, it uses spaced repetition. Unlike Anki, it focuses on vocabulary: you type a word and get instant translation, example sentences, and synonyms without manual formatting. MindDory also adds AI-generated stories and visual memory cues from your vocabulary and a mobile-first experience with widgets and streaks, so it suits learners who want an Anki alternative that is optimized for language and ease of use.

What is the best vocabulary app with spaced repetition?

The best vocabulary app with spaced repetition depends on your goals. For language learners who want to add words quickly and review with clear prioritization, MindDory is designed for that: AI-powered translation and example sentences, session-based review with Easy/Hard/Failed, and progress tracking. If you want a dedicated language learning flashcard app with minimal setup, MindDory is a strong option.

Can ChatGPT create flashcards?

ChatGPT can write out flashcard text, but on its own it does not save them or review them over time, so the words fade. MindDory closes that gap: you connect an AI assistant to MindDory through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and vocabulary from your conversations is captured straight into MindDory as spaced-repetition flashcards, each with a translation and a memory cue. Assistants this works with today are Claude (web and Desktop), Cursor, Continue, Zed, Cline and any other MCP-compatible client. ChatGPT can reach remote MCP servers in its developer mode and MindDory meets the requirements OpenAI publishes, but nobody has completed that connection yet, so we do not claim it works.

Can I save vocabulary from my AI conversations?

Yes. MindDory connects to Claude, Cursor and any other MCP-compatible client through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). When you learn a new word or phrase in a chat, it is captured into MindDory as a spaced-repetition flashcard carrying the word, its translation and a memory cue, and it comes back on a widening schedule: three days for a word you found hard, a week for an easy one, and after a second easy answer it stops coming back. This means the useful words from your AI conversations end up in long-term memory instead of scrolling out of the chat history.

Can MindDory scan a book or photo to make flashcards?

Yes. You can point MindDory at a page, for example a page of a book or your notes, and it reads the text, picks out useful vocabulary, and turns it into flashcards with translations and example sentences. It is the fastest way to get the words you are actually reading into spaced-repetition review, without typing each one by hand.

What spaced repetition algorithm does MindDory use?

MindDory handles scheduling for you, so you do not configure ease factors or algorithms the way you would in Anki. In each session it uses spaced repetition with session-based prioritization: failed and harder cards come back sooner, and words you already know come back less often, based on how you rate each card. If you want to understand how the well-known algorithms behind flashcard apps, SM-2 and FSRS, decide when a card should return, the guide below explains both in plain terms.

What is the best AI flashcard app for language learning?

For language learners, the best AI flashcard app is the one that both creates cards quickly and makes them stick. MindDory is built for this: it turns words you scan, type, or capture from your AI chats into flashcards with AI translation, example sentences, and visual memory cues, then reviews them with spaced repetition and active recall so you remember them long term. It works on web, iOS, and Android, with a free plan to start.
