Add cards from other apps
Use the Swiftflip share sheet to turn selected text, a link or an image from another app into a flashcard without opening Swiftflip first.
You can make a Swiftflip card from another app without opening Swiftflip first. The share sheet captures text, links and images and drops them straight into a deck.
Send something to Swiftflip
A definition in Safari, a line in Notes or a diagram in Photos all work.
- Select the text or image, or open the link.
- Tap Share.
- Choose Swiftflip from the share sheet. If it is not there, scroll across and tap More to turn it on.
A New Card screen opens on top of the app you are in.
What lands where
Whatever you share goes onto the front of the card by default:
- selected text becomes the front
- a web link becomes a linked title
- an image is attached to the front
Add the back yourself, or tap Swap Sides to move your shared content to the back and type the prompt on the front.
Pick a deck and save
Choose a deck from the picker. Swiftflip remembers the last deck you used, so repeat captures are quick. Tap Save and the card is ready the next time you practice. You need at least one deck before you can save, so create one in the app first if you have not yet.
Where it works
The share sheet is available on iPhone, iPad and Mac. On Apple Watch, add cards from another device and use the watch for practice.
To build a whole deck at once instead of one card at a time, try AI generation.
