Memorico

Read full description

Stop forgetting what you learn. Memorico helps you turn anything into long-term memory using spaced repetition. Instead of reviewing randomly or cramming, the app schedules your reviews at the right time so you reinforce information just before you forget it. The scheduling is powered by an algorithm based on scientific research on how memory works. Add anything you want to remember. It can be notes from a book, a concept, vocabulary, ideas, or even practical skills. Once added, Memorico handles when you should review it. Memorico offers two ways to memorize. With On My Own, the app focuses on scheduling while you decide how to recall the information. You can practice a piano piece, explain a concept out loud, rewrite a lesson from memory, recite a poem, or train a physical skill. The goal is active recall in any form. You can optionally attach notes or images to verify your recall after practicing, and rate the difficulty to adapt future reviews. With Flashcards, you can use a more structured and familiar format for faster repetition and clear question-answer learning. This flexibility allows you to apply spaced repetition to anything, not just content that fits into flashcards. Each day, you simply review what’s due. Over time, intervals grow longer as your memory strengthens, reducing effort while increasing retention. If you miss a day or have too much to review, you can easily reschedule items to keep things manageable. Organize your knowledge into groups and sub-groups, personalize them, and keep everything structured. Track your progress with simple statistics and maintain your streak. Memorico works offline and keeps the experience focused and efficient without requiring you to create an account. Designed for students, readers, professionals, and self-learners, Memorico gives you a system to retain what you learn and make your knowledge compound over time. Most apps help you learn. Memorico helps you remember. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://memorico.co/privacy

Stop making the same mistake twice. MistakeLab is the ultimate wrong answer journal (error log) and spaced repetition assistant engineered for elite students preparing for high-stakes competitive exams. Whether you are studying for the SAT, ACT, GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, CFA, or college finals, keeping a structured "error log" is the single most effective strategy recommended by top-scoring students (99th percentile) worldwide. MistakeLab automates this process, transforming your failures into exam-day breakthroughs. ▸ SNAP & EXTRACTION WITH ON-DEVICE OCR Stop wasting precious study time typing out long prompts. Instantly take a photo of any failed question from a prep book, worksheet, or computer screen. Apple's native OCR (Live Text) extracts the question text locally in seconds, creating a clean record automatically. ▸ DIAGNOSE THE ROOT CAUSE (COGNITIVE TAXONOMY) To fix a mistake, you must understand why you made it. Classify your errors under 5 distinct cognitive categories: • Content Gap: You did not know the underlying formulas or rules. • Careless Mistake: You knew the concept but made a silly calculation slip. • Misread: You missed a crucial word (e.g. "except", "not") or misread the question stem. • Concept Trap: You fell for a logical trap or distractor option. • Time Pressure: You ran out of time or panicked under the clock. Add your custom notes and actionable remediation rules (lessons learned) to ensure you don't repeat them. ▸ SCIENTIFIC SPACED REPETITION (SM-2 SRS) Reviewing a correction immediately after seeing it creates a false sense of fluency. Powered by a local adaptation of the SuperMemo-2 (SM-2) algorithm, MistakeLab schedules review sessions at mathematically optimal intervals (Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, etc.) based on your performance. • Daily Review Queue: Easily work through questions scheduled for revision today. • Fluid gestures: Swipe right to master, swipe left to keep in queue. • Rich haptic feedback via CoreHaptics for an engaging, physical review loop. ▸ ANALYZE YOUR WEAKNESS PATTERNS Stop guessing what to study. The analytics engine uses native Swift Charts to visualize: • Cognitive Failure Breakdown: Check if you suffer more from careless slips or core concept gaps. • Topic Weakness Matrix: Find which exam sections (e.g. Quantitative, Reading Comp) have the highest error density. • Learning Curve: Monitor your progress as you turn active errors into mastered concepts. ▸ 100% OFFLINE & PRIVACY FIRST Your study data is yours alone: • 100% Offline: No account signups, no external servers, no internet connection required. Review anywhere, even in library basement study rooms. • Zero Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit your name, text, or photos. • PDF Booklet Export: Generate a clean, formatted PDF of your mistakes to print out or share with your tutor.
