A Focused RemNote Alternative for Quizzes & Spaced Repetition
RemNote combines note-taking and spaced repetition in one tool — powerful but with a learning curve. SimpleQuizMaker focuses on the quiz/flashcard side with AI generation from any content, leaving note-taking to your existing tools.

Why Teachers Switch From RemNote
Common frustrations that bring users to SimpleQuizMaker
Steep learning curve
RemNote's syntax (cloze deletion, hierarchy, references) takes weeks to internalize. Most students bounce off.
Note-taking + SR hybrid means neither wins
It's a great note app and an OK SR tool. Dedicated SR tools schedule better; dedicated note apps (Notion, Obsidian) take notes better.
AI features paywalled
AI auto-card-generation requires the Pro plan.
No real quiz format
Cards are prompt/answer with cloze. Multiple choice with distractors isn't native.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I switch from RemNote to SimpleQuizMaker?
If you love RemNote's note-taking, keep it for that and add SimpleQuizMaker for AI quiz generation from external content. If you mainly use RemNote for SR and find it complicated, switching simplifies things.
Can I import RemNote flashcards?
Export RemNote cards to CSV, then upload as quiz content. The FSRS schedule resets.
Does SimpleQuizMaker have hierarchical notes?
No — we focus on quizzes and flashcards from existing content. For hierarchical notes, RemNote/Obsidian/Notion are better fits.
