GuruOwl helps students stop typing flashcards by hand. Upload a study PDF, lecture notes or an exam outline, and GuruOwl drafts cloze-first Anki cards tagged by topic, with the source page kept on every card. Labeled diagrams can become image-occlusion cards, and medical decks get an extra board-standard check. You review and edit every card, then export a standard .apkg for Anki Desktop, AnkiMobile or AnkiDroid.

You can try the first 3 text pages of a PDF without an account. Web signup includes 50 credits (about 1 credit per page).

GuruOwl also offers free Anki tools that run entirely in your browser, with no account and no upload: an .apkg viewer, APKG to CSV, CSV to Anki, and Quizlet to Anki.

Guru, the companion app for iPhone, iPad and Android, imports existing Anki .apkg and .colpkg decks with cards, media and sub-decks, and reviews them with FSRS, online or offline. Import and review are free for up to 5 decks.

It is built for medical, nursing, law and language students who already study with Anki and want decks that match their own course material.

GuruOwl is an independent product and is not affiliated with Anki, AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid or AnkiWeb.
