The retention problem
Students forget what you taught.
Nobody reviews it on a schedule.
AnkiTov brings proven spaced repetition — the science behind Anki — into the classroom, so what students learn actually sticks. Self-hosted and private by design.
The technology works. The classroom is missing a layer.
Anki proved spaced repetition works — but it was built for one person, on one computer. That's why it never made it into formal education.
SRS works
Decades of research show spaced, actively-recalled review outperforms massed study and rereading for long-term retention. This is the single most effective technique known to learning science.
Anki is a solo tool
Anki is a personal flashcard app. One user, one device, one big pile of decks. There's no notion of a class, a teacher, or a student being assigned a set of cards to review.
So it never reached the classroom
Schools can't run a study of 30 students through one person's personal app. No enrollment, no assignment, no progress view, and a privacy posture that was never built for minors. The best-known technique in learning science stayed on the hobbyist shelf.
AnkiTov is that missing layer
Everything Anki gets right about memory, plus everything a classroom actually needs to run it on real students.
Proven retention engine
Real Anki underneath — the same cards, the same scheduler, the same science. We didn't invent a new algorithm; we wired the best one into a classroom.
Built for a class, not a person
Enroll students, assign decks, and watch a live retention curve for the whole class. This is the part Anki never had.
Private by default
Self-hosted on your own machine or server. No trackers, no analytics, no third-party cloud. Student data belongs to you and your school, full stop.
Runs anywhere you have a computer
One script, one Docker container, up in minutes — on a teacher's laptop or a school server. No IT department required.
From deck to retained, in four steps
Import your decks
Bring your existing Anki .apkg decks (or ours, to start) into AnkiTov — no reformatting, no re-keying cards.
Assign to a class
Group students into a class and hand them the deck. AnkiTov schedules each student's reviews against the forgetting curve.
Students review on their own
On any device, at their own pace, when the material is actually due — not a week early, not a week late.
You watch retention, live
A class-level retention curve shows where the group is slipping, so you reinforce exactly where it counts.
Run it yourself. No one has to ask us for anything.
AnkiTov is self-hosted on purpose: your school, your data, your rules. Set it up in minutes — even on a machine you've never run a server on before.
On a single machine
One script downloads everything and starts AnkiTov on your own computer — no domain, no cloud, no second port. Perfect for a teacher trying it out first, or a small class on a lab laptop.

Privacy isn't a slogan — it's the architecture
Because AnkiTov runs on your infrastructure, the answer to "where do my students' study records live?" is: with you.
No tracking
No analytics, no telemetry, no cookies. The page loads zero third-party resources.
No third parties
No external services that could read, sell, or subpoena what your students reviewed.
You are the operator
Your server, your backups, your controls. When you're done, the data leaves with you.
Give every student a second chance at every fact.
Bring the most effective learning technique ever proven into your classroom — private, self-hosted, and up in minutes.
