Learn anything. Remember it for life. Enchiridion turns big subjects into short daily sessions that stick. Answer a few cards, read the reasoning behind every answer, and let spaced repetition decide when you see each idea again — right before you'd forget it. WHAT'S INSIDE • 9 learning paths: Become an Adult (taxes, insurance, contracts), Taxes & Money, Health & Wellness, Psychology & Mind, Philosophy, Science & Nature, World History, Tech & AI, Art & Culture • 3,000+ original quiz cards, each with a plain-English explanation and feedback that names the exact misconception behind a wrong answer • 324 deep-dive articles (typically 4,000–6,500 words) with named sources and further reading — the "why" behind the facts • Verified content: 1,500+ cards fact-checked against primary sources (IRS, SSA, NIST, peer-reviewed literature); tax and money figures use the 2026 IRS numbers HOW IT WORKS • Scheduling runs on the open FSRS-5 spaced-repetition algorithm with per-card adaptive difficulty, so review intervals truly expand as you learn • Story moments: short, skippable dialogue from characters tied to each path appears halfway through a session — turn it off anytime in Settings • Golden cards, speed bonuses, combo cheers, streaks, daily quests, and level-ups keep sessions warm without getting in the way • Deep dives render real tables — truth tables, tax brackets, fund comparisons • iCloud sync keeps progress across your devices WHO IT'S FOR • Lifelong learners who want durable knowledge, not trivia • Adults catching up on the practical things nobody taught them • Students and professionals who need retention, not cramming The name comes from the Greek word for handbook: a practical guide you carry with you.

If you were asked, right now, to name your favourite painting, could you? Most of us have none, and it is not for lack of feeling or interest - we were just never shown. No one ever walked us past the Impressionists, sat us down with Caravaggio's darkness or Turner's light, or told us which five painters to start with. Art Bites is your cicerone — the old word for the cultivated guide who once led travellers through the great works. It brings you the whole history of art, one work at a time: a painting you never knew existed, the mind behind it, the moment it belongs to. As machines conjure infinite images to be glanced at and forgotten, Art Bites does the opposite: it returns you to the greatest human works ever made. WANDER, YOUR WAY • A daily personalised feed of thousands of masterworks — from Monet's water lilies to Goya's darkest visions • Smart Browse: hand-curated collections like After Dark, The Quiet Room, and Dutch Golden Age — or build your own from scratch • Through Time: the entire span of art history, era by era, from Medieval illumination to Symbolism and beyond • Browse by Artist, Movement or carefully chosen tags • Discover and evolve your very own taste map GO DEEPER • Read: the full story behind every work — medium, movement, year, and where it hangs today • Guide: curated interpretation that unpacks what you're looking at, and why it matters KNOW THE GREATS • Meet the artists behind the masterpieces — top artists this month, movements in focus, and a growing directory of hundreds of painters • Spot the Artist & Name the Artist: quick, addictive quizzes that train your eye until you can recognize a hand on sight • Extensive learn features: flashcards, artist quizzes, palette matching, detail quizzes and more MAKE IT YOURS • Favorite anything with a tap and watch your own gallery take shape • Personalized recommendations that sharpen the more you browse • Share a discovery the instant it stops you in your tracks The greatest achievements of human seeing. No longer reserved for the few who happened to be shown. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
