After announcing the return of Leitlearn in January 2025, I quickly realized that my personal time was limited.

Still, I didn’t want to put the Leitlearn project on hold, especially after all the energy I had already invested.

That’s why I’ve decided to release a beta version of Leitlearn — to provide a functional and usable foundation from the start, with plans to gradually add the remaining features in the future.

What’s Included in Leitlearn Beta

  • Authentication with email or Google
  • Flashcard creation with cover images via the Unsplash API
  • Flashcard editing
  • Leitner revision system for spaced repetition
  • Express mode to allow immediate review sessions without waiting

What’s Missing

Some features announced for the full version are not included in the Beta:

  • Leitlearn AI
  • Social features
  • Gamification (rewards, streaks)
  • Notifications system

Free and Accessible

Even though this version is less complete, it is completely free—there are no payment systems.

A user account is required to save decks and learning sessions.

UI Design Showcase

I didn’t want to waste all the work I put into the design, which I consider my best so far.

So, here’s a look at some of the custom UI components I built, even if they’re not all available in the online version:
