Die Kartei

Learn German vocabulary on your terms — powered by AI that runs entirely on your device.

Generate Flashcards on Any Topic
Type a theme — "kitchen items," "travel phrases," "business German" — and the AI builds a full deck tailored to it. Filter by word type, add example sentences, include conjugation tables across four tenses, and control how many cards you want.

Official Goethe-Institut Word Lists
Pre-built decks drawn from the official vocabulary lists used in Goethe-Institut certification exams: A1 (Start Deutsch 1), A2, and B1. Over 4,000 words with articles, translations, and word types included.

Three Ways to Study
Classic flip cards let you browse at your own pace. Anki mode uses SM-2 spaced repetition — rate each card and the app schedules your next review. Leitner mode uses the classic box system: correct cards advance, wrong cards go back to Box 1.

Runs Entirely On-Device
All AI generation uses open-source models running locally via MLX. No account. No subscription. No data leaves your device.

Built for German Learners
Noun articles are color-coded by gender (der / die / das). Verb conjugations span Präsens, Perfekt, Präteritum, and Plusquamperfekt. German pronunciation via text-to-speech. AI-generated cards are validated against Wiktionary data for accuracy. Pause and resume any study session.
