## What is CardLoom?

CardLoom helps students actually remember what they study. It schedules each card
with spaced repetition — showing it right before you'd forget — and gives you many
ways to practice the same deck, so studying stays effective and fun.

Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no ads, no
tracking. It works completely offline, and it's a one-time purchase — never a
subscription. The family is the customer here, not advertisers.

NINE WAYS TO STUDY ONE DECK
• Study — proven spaced repetition (the SM-2 method) resurfaces cards on schedule
• Write it — type the answer from memory, with forgiving "close enough" grading
• Quiz — adaptive multiple choice
• Spelling — hear the word and spell it, like a spelling bee (with a definition
  lifeline)
• Fill in the blank — cloze practice, auto-generated from any deck
• Memorize a text — learn a poem, speech, or passage word for word, one rung at a time
• Practice Test — a mixed, graded test with a report card and "retake what you missed"
• Match & Arcade — fast, friendly matching games
• Listen — hands-free audio review for the car or the walk to school

READY FOR TEST DAY
• Set a test date and CardLoom builds a plan to be ready in time
• "Today's plan" tells you exactly what to study today
• An honest readiness estimate — never false confidence

BUILT FOR EVERY AGE (8–24)
• Explorer, Student, and Scholar profiles tune the words and the look to the learner
• Read-aloud, larger text, an easier-to-read font, reduced motion, and screen-reader
  support

MOTIVATION THAT'S KIND
• A daily goal, gentle streaks (with earned freezes — miss a day without losing it),
  mastery maps, levels, and badges
• No dark patterns: no shame, no fake urgency, no pay-to-win

MAKE IT YOURS
• Create and edit decks in seconds; add images to cards
• Smart Session studies across decks; Tricky Cards focuses your weak spots
• Print flashcards, study guides, worksheets, and tests
• Starter decks included — Spanish, world capitals, biology, spelling, poems, and more

SHARE WITHOUT ACCOUNTS
• Send a deck by Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or as a file
• Import one someone sent you with a tap
• Great for teachers and classmates — no logins

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% local-first — no account, no data collection, no servers
• Back up and restore your data yourself, whenever you want
• Works fully offline

CardLoom is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases.
Buy it once for the family, build a deck, and start remembering.
