Histoply

Histoply is the app to learn History by playing — and actually remember it. Not just a quiz: a real method that combines complete courses, spaced repetition and a timeline game, from antiquity to the modern world. COMPLETE COURSES, NOT SCRAPS Histoply offers real, structured history courses (courses → lessons → chapters) covering world history, from antiquity and the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, revolutions and the modern era. Every chapter tells a living story where historical figures, events and places are tappable — touch an element to open its card and explore. SPACED REPETITION, BUILT IN This is the heart of Histoply. Every historical element you meet in a course is automatically added to your reviews. With spaced repetition (SRS), the app brings it back at the perfect moment to lock it into your long-term memory — no cramming, nothing to track yourself. YOU CHOOSE YOUR DEPTH (1 TO 5) The feature that makes Histoply unique: every historical element is rated from 1 (essential) to 5 (for going further). Set your learning depth and review exactly what you want — just the must-know dates if you're starting out, or the finest details to become unbeatable. Start at the surface and go deeper later: the same courses adapt to your level and your goals. LEARN BY PLAYING: CHRONO The timeline game reuses the very same historical elements as your courses: put events back in the right order on the timeline. Sorting dates becomes a game — combos, records and three modes: Classic, Sudden Death and Time Attack (2 minutes, 3 lives). You learn and memorize while having fun, on top of spaced repetition. SOLO, ONLINE OR WITH FRIENDS Play solo to progress, challenge other players online, or face your friends locally on the same phone. Share your score to challenge them: who can put History back in order best? LISTEN TO YOUR COURSES Have each chapter read aloud by the voices installed on your phone — learn History while walking, cooking or with your eyes closed. WHY HISTOPLY? • Learn history in depth, not by rote • Complete, structured history courses • Spaced repetition to memorize dates and historical figures • Adjustable depth from 1 to 5: your call • A unique timeline game, solo and multiplayer • Great for general knowledge and for studying or revision Start for free and turn History into a game.
