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.
