Learning on autopilot. Enjoy but not endure it. Lifelong learning and especially continuous training is becoming increasingly important in a world of constant renovation and change. This app approaches the learning problem from a special angle backed by cognitive science: individual learning process management. • Bite-sized learning: “knowledge nuggets” are easier to grasp and memorize. It’s known antidote to the infamous problem of “shorten attention span”. • Autopilot mode: the app manages the whole learning process using spaced repetitions, makes it easy and enjoyable. • Course store: high quality courses specially made for micro-learning. It’s also opened to all instructional designers. The Micro-Learning App is a part of project “Mind Extension – Integrating Human Brains with Smart Devices”.

The Pomodoro Technique is a study method grounded in scientific evidence, allowing for efficient concentration, motivation maintenance, and memory retention.

Add tasks (study sections) from the task page, accessible by tapping the project image. 3. Tap a task on the home screen to start the Pomodoro timer. 4. End the Pomodoro session once your study is complete. Supports 6 languages: ・English ・Japanese ・French ・Spanish ・Portuguese ・Russian
