Get a little Smarter every day — with your friends. Smarter is a tiny daily-learning game for a group of friends. Twice a day, three hand-picked topics show up. You vote on the one you want to learn about, read the short lesson that wins, and take a quick three-question quiz. Show up day after day to build a streak — and unlock the ability to propose your own topics for the group. It's the good part of the group chat, minus the noise: a shared little ritual that leaves everyone knowing something they didn't this morning. How it works • Three topics, twice a day — before bed and after you wake. • Vote on what to learn; the group's pick becomes the lesson. • Read the winner and take a 3-question quiz. • Build a streak by showing up — hit 5 days to propose your own topics. • Nudge friends who haven't voted, and invite people nearby with a QR code. • See where everyone lands on the group leaderboard. Built to be light and private • No account, no email, no password — just a group code and a name you pick. • Opt-in push reminders so you never miss a round. • No ads, no tracking, no noise. Make a group, send the link to a few friends, and learn something together every day.
