QuizAsk and explain from your notes

Using WinkNotes, pick three cards due today and quiz me one by one. Wait for my answer before you reveal it, explain from the original card, and ask me before you record the result.

Quick start: quiz
TidyFind notes, organize tags and decks

Price and what you should know

What stays free, and what uses credits later?

MCP setup and importing an AI-made deck stay free forever. The external AI service bills on its own. Built-in screenshot and image-share AI cards are on a limited free trial, then they use credits. Check remaining uses in the app.

Are uploaded images kept?

We do not cache or keep user data uploaded while making a card. The image is sent to the language model only for this generation. The finished card and original image are saved in your own WinkNotes library.

What should I know before connecting an AI assistant?

MCP is how AI talks to WinkNotes. Keep WinkNotes for Mac running. AI can read, create, and edit cards, tidy tags and decks, and record reviews. It cannot delete cards. What it reads is sent to the AI you chose. Image cloze provides the unmasked original. See the setup guides
