I’m sure the algorithm can play a huge role in the effectiveness of learning but for me the difficult part was always creating the cards and actually opening the app to practice.

I've built Komihåg [1] to try and combat this: Select any text on your iOS device and a flashcard is automatically created for you, and the app is then showing you the cards on the Home Screen / Lock Screen / Apple Watch Face.

I haven't gotten to implement any sophisticated scheduling algorithm yet but will definitely do that eventually.

I was looking to use this with the iOS Books app, but I can’t share text to your app from there (but something like safari works). Any idea why?

I found this: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/762784

Looks like share extensions are not generally available inside the Books app, which is why my app is not showing up.

Thank you for making me aware of the issue!
