Create Your Deck#

After you log in, you can build your own study material: create a deck, add facts, and let Rete generate cards for review. For how decks, facts, and cards relate, see Key concepts.

If you want ready-made material first, import a shared deck from Discover instead.

Create a deck#

Open the Decks tab and tap the Create Deck button (floating action button) to open the create sheet.

Rate (new cards per day)#

Choose how many new cards to introduce per day (cards per day). That sets how much fresh material enters your review queue each day — pick a value that matches the time you can study. Higher values introduce new material faster; lower values keep a steadier pace.

Deck name#

The deck name identifies the deck in your library. Enter it in the create sheet.

Tags#

Optionally add tags when you create the deck so you can filter study later. See Tags.

Fields (columns)#

Define fields (column names) — for example English, Japanese, Example Sentence, or Note. Field names live on the deck; they label each column when you edit and study.

By default you get 2 fields; you can reorder columns and Add field for more. Facts fill entries in the same order as those columns. See Decks.

Tap Save. The new deck appears in your library — open it to add content.

Add facts#

Inside the deck, add facts: one complete item to remember (word pair, term + definition, and so on). Each fact stores entries in column order — not field names on the fact itself.

Example on a deck with fields English and Japanese — one row is one fact:

With more columns you add more entries (example sentences, images, audio, notes). Details are in Facts.

Generate cards#

When you add a fact, the system creates cards from its entries.

By default, one fact yields one card: front = first entry, back = the rest.

Front: hello
Back: こんにちは

One fact can also produce sibling cards — for example English→Japanese and Japanese→English. See Cards.

Publish to Discover#

When the deck is ready for others, use Publish Deck. Published decks appear in Discover so other learners can import them. Republish with Publish updates when you make real changes. See Import an existing deck for how sharing and sync work for importers.

What’s next#

When your deck has facts and cards, start studying: recall the front, show the answer, rate difficulty, then tap Next.
