Meet Axon Recall
Axon Recall™ The Ultimate Handheld Anki Device
Axon Recall™ The Ultimate Handheld Anki Device
One screen.
One job.
A handheld Axon built for exactly one purpose: your Anki reps. A featureless box — until the screen swivels out to reveal the controls underneath.
↑ Tap the box to swivel the screen open — then tap the card and rate it, just like real Anki.
Closed, it's a blank box.
Open, it's your edge.
The screen swivels flat over the controls — so there's nothing to fidget with, and nothing to distract you, until you choose to study.
The swivel hinge
A custom ultra-thin alloy hinge. Push the lower edge and the square screen rotates up to reveal a full gamepad hidden beneath.
Zero notifications
No SIM, no apps, no feed. Nothing buzzes. The only thing on screen is the card in front of you.
Square 720×720
A true 1:1 display — the perfect aspect ratio for flashcards. The swivel works because the screen stays square at any angle.
~30hr battery
A full week of review on one charge. USB-C top-ups. It lives next to your coffee, not in your pocket.
Syncs with AnkiWeb
Wi-Fi sync pulls your existing decks straight in. Review on the device, your progress shows up everywhere.

The controller trick med students swear by — minus the phone.
For years the move has been pairing a tiny game controller to your phone so you can fly through Anki by feel: thumb on the buttons, eyes on the card, one hand, no hunching over a keyboard. It's brilliant — until a notification, a text, or "one quick check" yanks you out. And getting a generic controller mapped to Anki is a fiddly setup most people give up on.
Axon Recall keeps everything people love about that combo and removes everything that breaks it.

Swivel & study

The hardware.
People who actually do their cards.
"I went from skipping reviews to a 40-day streak. Turns out the problem was never Anki — it was my phone."
"The swivel is genuinely satisfying. Closed it's a blank slab; flip it open and you're studying. No rabbit holes."
"Pull it out in line for coffee, do 20 cards, fold it shut. That's the whole pitch and it delivers."
Start cheap, or go all-in.
Keep your phone and add the controller, or remove the phone entirely with the Recall.
