About & beta

Built for the study session that never gets started.

FlashPod began with a specific frustration: knowing exactly how to study effectively, and still not being able to reliably sit down and do it.

Designed around the part that usually breaks.

FlashPod is built around a simple assumption: a sit-down study session may never happen. Review should still be easy to start, easy to stop, and available in the gaps you already have.

Who's building it

Amanda is a data scientist who used to teach reading, where spaced repetition and retrieval practice were the daily tools — mostly with kids with neurodivergent needs.

She built FlashPod for herself in grad school, because she is at heart a nerd who loves learning and, with ADHD, could never reliably sit down with a deck of flashcards. She has been studying from it every day since.

Where the product is right now.

FlashPod is still in development. The first private beta will run on iOS, with a small group of invited testers helping shape what comes next.

Join the iOS beta waitlist.

FlashPod’s first private beta will open on iOS to a small group of invited testers. Join the waitlist and I’ll reach out when testing begins.

Invitation-only — not a public signup. No newsletter or marketing emails: just one email once the iOS beta is ready to test.
