About

Spaced Recall

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 • Headings, bold, italics, highlights, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists and quotes • Add a picture from your camera or your photos • Sort notes into categories, and rename a category by holding it • Search your library, and export or import it at any time REVIEWING • Each day's reviews are a short stack you swipe through. A long note scrolls, and the next swipe moves on. • Choose how many reviews a day and which days you rest, and your reviews are spread to fit • Reminders at the times you choose, one note for each • The calendar shows what is coming up and what you have done. Hold a note to move it to another day. • 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.

Read full description

Memloop helps you remember what you learn — for good. Based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, Memloop uses spaced repetition (SRS) to schedule each note for review right before you would forget it. Instead of cramming, you review a little at the perfect time, and knowledge settles into long-term memory with far less effort. HOW IT WORKS 1. Capture anything you want to remember as a short memo. 2. When a review is due, rate how well you recalled it. 3. Memloop adjusts the next review date automatically — easy items come back less often, tricky ones more often. 4. Get a gentle daily reminder when reviews are waiting, so you never miss the optimal moment. FEATURES • Spaced repetition scheduling powered by the forgetting curve • Quick memo capture for vocabulary, facts, study notes, and ideas • Simple 4-level review rating that tunes each item's interval • Daily push reminders at a time you choose • Visual forgetting-curve graph to see how your memory strengthens • Home dashboard with stats and review streaks • Clean, distraction-free design • English and Japanese supported • Secure sign-in; your notes sync across devices WHO IT'S FOR Students preparing for exams, language learners building vocabulary, professionals keeping up with new material, and anyone who is tired of forgetting what they just learned. Start a loop, keep what matters. Privacy Policy: https://memloop.xyz/privacy Terms of Service: https://memloop.xyz/terms
