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 do not have to be inside Swiftflip to make a card. The share sheet captures text, links and images from other apps and drops them straight into a deck. It is the fastest way to save something the moment you find it.
Send something to Swiftflip
Find something worth a card. 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 tidy 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, stick to practice and add cards from a bigger device.
