Tough Cookies

We live in an era where it's said the most valuable resource is our attention. The alarmingly low human attention spans are definitely a result of our modern, digitized and comfortable lives. Even though we can get all our answers via a simple Google search, memory retention is still important, especially for learning and passing exam purposes.

Even though they may not work for everybody, flashcards provide a proven and efficient learning technique. In short, a flashcard is a card that has a hint on the front, and the answer on the back. These cues can be questions, images, or simple words. If you are willing to try flashcards as a learning method in this digitized and electronic age we live in, then why not try a flashcard app?

Tough Cookies is an Electron-based and cross-platform flashcard study and management app. With its help, you can create text or image-based flashcards using either a basic text editor or the Markdown language.

Even though it might seem a bit clunky at first, Tough Cookies is, in fact, a very nicely designed app. It provides various ways to store and manage your flashcards via folders and units, keeping this very tidy and allowing you to focus on what matters - studying.

Not only this, but you can also set repetition dates according to your study schedule in order to ensure that the information retention is as good as it can be.

You can simply drag and drop the flashcards into the appropriate boxes in order to schedule future reviews.

With a well-thought-out design somewhat reminiscent of various Microsoft Office apps, a solid concept behind it, cross-platform availability, and enough customization options and flexibility, Tough Cookies is sure to help you learn more efficiently if given the chance.

Nevertheless, it's worth noting that the app does require a fair bit of time and patience on your part. Firstly, to get used to its features and GUI, and secondly, in order to actually create the flashcards used for learning.
