Soma for macOS

The Soma desktop app for Mac lets you capture knowledge, review flashcards, and stay on top of your spaced repetition schedule — without opening a browser.

Not sure which to pick? On your Mac, go to Apple menu → About This Mac. If the chip says M1 or later, choose Apple Silicon. Otherwise, choose Intel.

Built-in feature

Generate cards from anywhere

Select any text — in your browser, Notes, PDFs, anywhere — right-click, and instantly create a Soma flashcard. No copy-paste, no switching apps.

Select → right-click

Highlight any text in any app — your browser, Notes, a PDF reader — then right-click and choose Services → Generate Soma card. Soma picks up the selected text in the background and uses it to generate a flashcard on your behalf.

The card is saved as a draft first. You can review, edit, or discard it before it ever enters your deck — so nothing gets added without your sign-off.

  • Runs silently in the background
  • Works in any app that supports macOS Services
  • Cards are saved as drafts for your review
