Read full description

Forcatcha is a friendly flashcard and review app that brings cards back when they are about to slip away. Create a card, review it, and tell Forcatcha whether you remembered. When you tap “Got it,” the card levels up and the next review moves a little farther out: 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and beyond. When you tap “Forgot,” the card comes back sooner. No judgment, just better timing around the forgetting curve. [Key Features] - Simple card creation - Review timing inspired by the forgetting curve - Card levels that stretch the next review interval as memory gets stronger - Progress views for active and remembered cards - Dark mode support Use it for vocabulary, study notes, reading highlights, work concepts, or anything future-you would rather not forget.
