What We Build

Zippyflash is a spaced-repetition platform designed for serious learners who want full control over their study process.

Expert Usability

A clean, distraction-free interface built around the study session. Every interaction is tuned for speed and focus.

Algorithmic Flexibility

Fine-grained control over scheduling parameters lets you tailor the system to your learning style and material.

Rich Card Authoring

Create cards with formatted text, images, and structured templates. Import and export your data freely.

Cross-Platform Access

Data Ownership

Your learning data belongs to you. Export everything at any time in standard formats.

Our Mission

Grey Heron Software exists to empower learners of all kinds. We believe that the science of memory is too important to be locked behind clunky interfaces or rigid systems. Our goal is to bring together expert usability, algorithmic flexibility, and every other aspect of modern spaced repetition into a single, cohesive platform.

Whether you are studying for a professional exam, learning a language, mastering a technical domain, or simply building a deeper understanding of the world, Zippyflash is designed to meet you where you are and grow with you.

Science-Driven

Grounded in decades of memory research and continuously refined with real learner feedback.

Learner-First

Every design decision starts with the question: does this help the learner study more effectively?

Open and Transparent

No lock-in, no dark patterns. Your data and your learning process are yours to control.

Continuously Improving

We ship improvements regularly, guided by the needs of our most dedicated users.
