From Note to Flashcard in One Click: The Workflow That Changes How You Study

The Two-App Problem

Serious students usually live in this loop: they take notes in Notion or OneNote, then manually copy important concepts into Anki to create flashcards, then review in Anki, then go back to the notes for context. Two apps, double the work, and often the two worlds stay disconnected.

Keeplet is built around a different idea: the note and the flashcard are the same thing — it just depends on how you want to use it.

How Keeplet Is Organized

The structure is simple and mirrors that of any student:

• Space → a subject or project (e.g. Private Law, English B2, Machine Learning)
• Section → a chapter or topic within the space (e.g. Contracts, Present Perfect, Neural Networks)
• Block → a single note or flashcard within the section

You can have as many spaces and sections as you want. Each block is independent: you can reorder it by dragging, edit it at any time, and the platform saves automatically as you type.

The Note ↔ Flashcard Toggle

This is the central point. When you write a block, it's a normal note. You can write whatever you want — definitions, examples, whole paragraphs, bullet lists, text in bold or italic.

When you want to turn that block into a flashcard, you click the lightbulb icon. In one second:

1. The block becomes a flashcard
2. An "Answer" field appears where you can add the solution (optional but recommended)
3. The SM-2 algorithm begins scheduling your reviews for that concept

If you change your mind, click the same icon again and it goes back to a note. There's no import or export procedure.

Cloze Deletion: Hiding Key Words

There's another powerful technique built into the editor: cloze deletion. Select a word or phrase inside a block and mark it as cloze — during review, that part is hidden and you must reconstruct it.

It's the same principle as fill-in-the-blank exercises: seeing the almost-complete sentence activates much more effective active recall than simple reading.

Example: you wrote "Ohm's Law states that V = R × I". You mark "V = R × I" as cloze. During review you'll see "Ohm's Law states that ___" and must complete it.

From Block to Review: What Happens Next

Once you have flashcards in a section, Keeplet adds them to the automatic review queue. Every day, the home screen shows how many flashcards are ready to review — those for which the algorithm has calculated that the optimal moment is today.

You don't need to organize anything. You don't need to remember which section to review. Open Keeplet, go to Review, and the list is already ready.

Advantages Over the Classic Workflow

Classic workflow (Notion + Anki)	Keeplet workflow
Notes in Notion	Notes in Keeplet
Recreate flashcards in Anki manually	One click to convert
Review in Anki, context in Notion	Everything in one place
Two apps to update	Single source of truth

The time savings are real. But the subtler advantage is that you don't "break the flow": you're studying, you find an important concept, you mark it immediately. You don't put it off until "later" — which often means never.
