I’m the developer of Remio, a tool that turns PDF highlights into Anki flashcards.
I know self-promo can be annoying, so I asked the mods for permission a few days ago and sent one follow-up, but haven’t heard back. I don’t want to spam the sub, so I’m posting this once; if it isn’t appropriate, I understand if it gets removed.
The problem I’m trying to solve: when studying from lecture PDFs/books, I highlight a lot, but turning those highlights into Anki cards is slow and breaks the reading flow. If I don’t make the cards right away, I usually never do.
Remio uses your highlights plus the surrounding context to generate Anki flashcards, so the cards are based on what you personally marked as important rather than random sections of the PDF.
For transparency:
- It uses AI to generate the cards, currently Claude Sonnet 4.5.
- It’s freemium: 50 free credits, then paid credit packs (not subscriptions)
Would this workflow actually be useful for med school studying?
The site is remio dot tech, thank you!
