Three taps.
That's the loop.
Pick
your jungle
Six free B1–B2 decks. Six premium C1–C2 decks. Business, Tech, Sport, Science, Travel, Health & Medicine — pick the ground you actually walk on.
Take
a guess
A real sentence with a blank. No flashcard "list of words" feeling — every card teaches a word the way you'd actually meet it in the wild.

the catch
Flip. Swipe right for Caught it, left for Missed it. That's the entire grading system. Try it →
No SM-2. No intervals. No streaks to protect. Just you, the word, and the truth.
Burned
the
algorithm.
Most flashcard apps schedule you. Manki doesn't.
We threw out SM-2, intervals, streaks, XP, and every other dopamine knob. The study loop is the product. You see a card. You guess. You flip. You decide if you caught it. That's it.
Words land because they appear in sentences you'd actually use — not because a graph says you're due in 14 hours.
Twelve
jungles.
Six free for B1–B2. Six premium for C1–C2.

Things
people ask.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Manki is local-first. Your progress lives on your device. There is no account, no analytics SDK, no email collection. (Premium subscriptions are processed by the App Store, which we never see.)
Will the Android version cost the same?
Yes — feature parity, same price. We're shipping iOS and macOS first because we're a small team. Android is in active development.
What level is Manki for?
B1 to C2. The free decks cover B1-B2 vocabulary in everyday contexts; the premium decks cover C1-C2 — the words you need for fluent professional speech, exam prep, and reading nuanced material.
Can I add my own cards?
Not yet. Manki ships with curated decks because curation is the product. Custom decks are on the roadmap for v2.
What about the gorilla?
Manki = Mobile Anki. Also: monkey see, monkey remember. The gorilla is the mascot because gorillas are quiet, deliberate, and absolutely will not forget.
