EbbDeck Step 1 vs FareGate

Ebb Deck is a USMLE Step 1 question bank built on the science of memory. Most prep apps let you grind questions and forget them a week later. Ebb Deck is different. It's built around the forgetting curve — the proven pattern of how we lose new knowledge over time and schedules every question to come back right before you'd forget it. The result: what you study actually sticks until exam day. START FREE Your first 100 questions are completely free - the whole app, no account, no card, no trial countdown. They span every system on the exam so you get a real feel for how Ebb Deck works. WHAT'S INSIDE • 1,000+ board-style questions - clinical vignettes written in the real Step 1 format • Detailed explanations for every answer, with reference ranges and key learning points • Spaced repetition (SM-2) that schedules reviews at the perfect moment • Weak-spot drills that target your lowest-scoring systems automatically • Confidence calibration - see where you're overconfident and fix it before the exam • Predicted exam readiness from your accuracy, coverage, and weak spots • A live exam countdown and daily streaks to keep you on pace • Per-system mastery tracking and a study-activity history • Tutor and timed modes; build custom sets by system, unused, incorrect, or flagged • Light and dark mode PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your progress lives on your device.

FareGate locks the apps that eat your day behind your own Anki deck. Pick the apps to gate; iOS Screen Time keeps them shut; clear ten cards and you've earned fifteen minutes. The cards are yours — imported from your real collection, including decks made with AnKing or AnkiHub — and with a FareGate account and our open-source desktop bridge, your reviews sync back to Anki, so nothing you do here is wasted. Money never opens the gate: there are no paid skips, for anyone, and the emergency pass is always free. Finished your reviews for the day? The gate opens free, and we tell you so. The gate isn't a goal-checker that just confirms you studied somewhere else — the gate IS the study session, on the phone, right where you reach for the feed. • Your actual cards, rendered faithfully. Not a quiz clone — your own notes and templates, shown the way you expect. • The toll is cards, not dollars. Ten cards buys fifteen minutes. The toll is always reviews; there is never a paid skip. • Earn your minutes, then get on with your day. When time's up, the gate returns. • A fair toll, honestly built. An emergency pass is always free when you truly need through. No fake urgency, no dark patterns. You feel it work before you commit: your first gate opens in a practice run on a few built-in starter cards, before iOS ever asks for Screen Time permission. The practice run shows you the flow; it doesn't open a timed app session or touch your own cards. Import your Anki decks (.apkg). Built first for USMLE and med students already doing hundreds of reviews a day. FareGate Pro unlocks up to 50 gated apps, the Morning Gate, the Live Activity countdown and deep stats. • Monthly $4.99 / Annual $34.99, with a 7-day free trial. • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24h before the period ends; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. • Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Privacy Policy: https://getfaregate.com/privacy Anki® is a registered trademark of Ankitects Pty Ltd.
