Read full descriptionHide full description
TMR Memory Test application is used for conducting targeted memory reactivation (TMR) experiment in education purposes. Newly acquired information is stabilized into long-term memory through the process of consolidation. Memories are not static; rather, they are constantly updated via reactivation, and this reactivation occurs preferentially during Slow-Wave Sleep. This application uses method called targeted memory reactivation, whereby auditory cues that were previously associated with learning are re-presented during sleep, triggering recall of stored memories and through this strengthening these memories.
Learn Poems

Learning poems for school is usually awkward — you sit over the textbook, repeat the same quatrain ten times, and at the blackboard it slips away anyway. Learn Poems is a small app that helps you actually learn a poem properly, without panicked cramming the night before. The method is simple: instead of memorizing the whole text at once, you go through four stages. First you just read the poem and listen to it — no pressure. Then you learn it stanza by stanza: the app hides part of the words and you fill them in from memory. After that — the whole poem, with more and more gaps. At the end — a final pass where only the skeleton of the text remains. To pass, you need to recall 95%. In practice, learning a medium-length poem takes 20–40 minutes, and at the end you actually remember it. Not "until tomorrow's class," but properly. What's inside: — A catalog of thousands of well-known poems. Search by line, author, or mood. — If you got something rare or non-standard — paste your own text and the app will split it into stanzas for you. — Audio for many well-known poems: listen while you study or just to catch the rhythm. — Voice recording — read the poem out loud and listen back. It genuinely helps. — Reminders after a few days, a week, and a month, so what you learn by Wednesday doesn't evaporate by Monday. Without repetition, half the effort is wasted. — Hints: if a word won't come back — peek at the first letter or reveal it fully. No "I'm cheating" feeling. Who it's for: — students whose literature class still requires learning things by heart; — anyone preparing for exams and tired of re-reading the same thing in circles; — anyone who just wants to finally learn a favorite poem and keep it in their head, not in their bookmarks. Learn Poems turns memorization into a clear process — where progress is visible and the next step is obvious. Poetry is a good thing. Cramming is not. We tried to separate one from the other.
