TinyCards Alternative: Study Flashcards with Spaced Repetition

TinyCards was Duolingo's flashcard app: simple, playful, and great for quick study sessions. When Duolingo discontinued TinyCards, many learners lost their decks and had to find another way to study vocabulary.

DuoNinja fills that gap. It's a TinyCards alternative that keeps the ease of use while adding spaced repetition, real example sentences, and audio—features TinyCards never had.

Why DuoNinja as a TinyCards replacement?

Similar vibe, better learning. DuoNinja is clean and focused. You create or import decks, study with flashcards, and track your progress. But unlike TinyCards, DuoNinja uses spaced repetition so you see cards when you're about to forget them—proven to improve retention.

Import from Duolingo. Since TinyCards was Duolingo-owned, many TinyCards users also used Duolingo. DuoNinja's Chrome extension imports your Duolingo vocabulary directly. Your words become a flashcard deck in minutes.

Real examples and audio. TinyCards kept things minimal. DuoNinja lets you add example sentences and text-to-speech so you hear pronunciation. You learn words in context, not in isolation.

Community decks and export. Browse public decks by language, copy what you like, and share your own. Need Anki or Quizlet? DuoNinja exports to TSV so you can use your deck anywhere.

What happened to TinyCards?

Duolingo shut down TinyCards in 2020 to focus on the main Duolingo app. Users couldn't export their decks, and the app was removed from app stores. DuoNinja doesn't replace TinyCards's historical content, but it gives you a modern alternative: import your Duolingo vocabulary and study with spaced repetition, examples, and audio.
