# About
**Anki** is a powerful, intelligent flashcard program that makes remembering things easy.
Anki is a spaced repetition program. Please see the [website](https://apps.ankiweb.net) to learn more.
## 📖 About Anki
# Getting Started
Anki is a spaced repetition flashcard program. It helps you memorize information efficiently by presenting cards at optimal intervals based on your performance. Anki uses an algorithm to schedule reviews, ensuring you see cards right before you're about to forget them.
