REVU – Learn better. Remember longer. REVU is a spaced-learning app that turns what you study into lasting memory. It schedules each review for the moment you are about to forget, so every session strengthens what you know instead of wasting your time. Whether you are studying for an exam, learning a language, working with technical standards or simply trying to remember what matters, REVU keeps your memory sharp with a short daily routine. How it works Create cards your way Write questions and answers in your own words, and add images, diagrams or screenshots to either side. REVU can read text from images on your device. Or let AI draft cards from a PDF, pasted text, photos or a transcript file. A PDF is split by chapter into sub-topics, and you review, edit or discard every draft before it is saved. Bring your decks (REVU Plus) Import Deck Packages (.apkg and .colpkg, up to 200 MB) with their images and audio, and export a topic or your whole collection through the share sheet. Review at the right time REVU shows what is due today, and every card on a topic screen shows when it is due next. Cards you know well come back less often. Hard ones return sooner. Choose SM-2 (classic) or FSRS (adaptive) for each topic. Answer and improve Type or dictate your answer, then reveal the solution. REVU checks your answer in any language and schedules the next review. On FSRS topics you also rate how hard it felt. Included AI, or your own REVU's included AI is provided by OpenAI. To use it, sign in with Apple and agree once. Free accounts get a one-time trial: two topics of up to 15 generated cards each, plus 60 answer checks. If an online check takes longer than 10 seconds, or the trial is used up, REVU checks your answer on your device instead. Prefer your own AI? Add a Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude or OpenAI key in Settings → Advanced → AI Providers.
