WHAT YOU GET - Remember longer with an adaptive spaced-repetition engine that plans every review - Build unlimited decks for any language, exam, or subject and add cards in seconds - See what's working with retention %, review history charts, a study heatmap, and a forecast of what's due next - Stay consistent with day streaks and a longest-streak record that reward showing up - Find any card fast by searching the front or back across all your decks - Never lose momentum with a daily study reminder that keeps the habit alive PERFECT FOR - Students cramming for exams and finals - Language learners drilling vocabulary - Professionals mastering a new field or certification - Lifelong learners who just want to stay sharp WHY NOT JUST USE PAPER CARDS OR A NOTES APP?
