Active recall, on your own PDFs
Import a lecture slide, textbook chapter, or reviewer, then place interactive stickers right on the page — cover a term, ask a question, hide an answer. Every sticker becomes a review card, scheduled with spaced repetition and quizzed back to you until it sticks.

How it works
Drop in a lecture slide deck, textbook chapter, or reviewer PDF. It stays on your device — nothing uploads to a server.
Place a cover, a question, or a highlight right on the page. Try to answer before you reveal — that struggle is what makes it stick.
Every sticker becomes a review card. Stikky schedules it, quizzes you back, and tracks what you actually remember.
The core loop
Stickers sit directly on your real page — a cover, a highlight, a hidden answer — so recall practice happens where you actually study, not in a separate flashcard app.
Cardiac Cycle — page 3
Remember: before Friday's quiz!
Place a sticker over the term or step you need to remember.
Look away from the page and answer before you peek.
Tap to check — then rate how well you actually knew it.
Everything in one place
Real read, edit, and study modes on the actual document — pinch to zoom, draw with a pencil, and place any sticker type directly on the page.
Every sticker you place becomes a spaced-repetition card — no separate deck to maintain.
Pull cards from any file into a timed quiz session and see what actually holds up.
Every card lives in one searchable bank, organized by subject automatically.
Plan study sessions and see which cards are due, day by day or by board.
Streaks, review counts, and accuracy over time — so you know it's working.
Built for the syllabus you already have
Anatomy
Place a cover sticker over each label on your lecture slide, then quiz yourself by pointing and naming before you reveal.
Physiology
Turn a dense process diagram into a sequence of recall prompts — one sticker per phase, reviewed until the order is automatic.
Biochemistry
Two drags on your reviewer — highlight the question, highlight the answer — turns a pathway chart into a full question bank.
