# Welcome to Armin

Armin is a spaced-repetition flashcard app for the web and mobile. You write cards, Armin schedules them with FSRS, and you review each card shortly before you would forget it.

What sets Armin apart is that cards form a **prerequisite graph**. A card can depend on other cards, and it stays locked until you have learned what it builds on. You build foundations first, then study what sits on top of them.

## Where to start

- **Getting started** — Create an account, make your first deck, and run your first review. See [Getting
  started](https://docs.armincards.app/getting-started/).
- **Cards and decks** — The card types Armin supports and when to use each one. See [Cards and
  decks](https://docs.armincards.app/guides/cards-and-decks/).
- **Prerequisites** — Link cards so the basics come first. See [Prerequisites](https://docs.armincards.app/guides/prerequisites/).
- **Import from Anki** — Bring your existing decks and review history. See [Import from Anki](https://docs.armincards.app/guides/import-from-anki/).
