Mouse Answer allows you to review cards faster by assigning actions to mouse buttons instead of relying on the keyboard.

I built Mouse Answer because I wanted reviewing to feel faster and more natural during long study sessions.
I still use it in my own studies every day, and many improvements come directly from real study situations and user feedback.
If you discover a better workflow or have suggestions, feel free to share them.
