About

Spaced Recall

Features
Read full description

Spaced Recall is a notes app that makes sure you remember what you write. Write a note, from a single fact to a page with headings, lists and pictures, and Spaced Recall brings it back for review just before you would forget it: after a few days, then a week, two weeks, a month and longer each time you remember it. WRITING NOTES โ€ข Headings, bold, italics, highlights, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists and quotes โ€ข Add a picture from your camera or your photos โ€ข Sort notes into categories, and rename a category by holding it โ€ข Search your library, and export or import it at any time REVIEWING โ€ข Each day's reviews are a short stack you swipe through. A long note scrolls, and the next swipe moves on. โ€ข Choose how many reviews a day and which days you rest, and your reviews are spread to fit โ€ข Reminders at the times you choose, one note for each โ€ข The calendar shows what is coming up and what you have done. Hold a note to move it to another day. โ€ข Keep a streak, rise through the ranks, and pause everything with holiday mode LANGUAGES Practise Spanish, Italian, French or Seychellois Creole a few words at a time, from the language into English or the other way round. The drill finds your level from the first few words, and each direction keeps its own progress. THE LIBRARIAN An assistant that can tidy your categories, find notes, move reviews and change settings for you. Nothing changes until you confirm it. WORKS WITH CLAUDE AND CHATGPT Connect an AI assistant under Account, Your data, then ask it to save a note to Spaced Recall in the middle of a conversation, or to quiz you on what is due today. FRIENDS, IF YOU WANT THEM With an account, your library syncs with the web app at spacedrecall.app, and you can add friends, chat, share notes, put a note up as a story for a day and see the leaderboard. You can also share a note with anyone by link. You can report or block anyone, and delete your account from inside the app. Without an account, everything stays on your iPhone. Spaced Recall is free. An optional tip jar adds a supporter badge to your name and unlocks nothing else. Rainbow, the monthly supporter tier, is an auto-renewing subscription. You can cancel it at any time in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use: https://spacedrecall.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://spacedrecall.app/privacy/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Spaced Recall at none against Speechyou's shown. Spaced Recall also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
