Snap your notes. Get flashcards. Remember everything. Recall turns any topic or photo of your notes into ready-to-study flashcards, then schedules them with spaced repetition so you review each card right before you would forget it. NOTES TO CARDS Photograph handwriting, slides, or a textbook page. Recall reads the material and writes clean question-and-answer cards from what is actually on the page. OR JUST NAME A TOPIC Type "the Krebs cycle" or "French past tense" and get a focused starter deck in seconds. SPACED REPETITION THAT WORKS Rate each card Again, Hard, Good, or Easy. Recall schedules the next review automatically: easy cards drift weeks out, hard ones come back the same day. REVIEW THAT FEELS GOOD Flip cards with a tap, swipe right when you know it, left when you don't. A session takes minutes. EXPLAIN THIS Stuck on a card? One tap gets a short explanation of the answer. KEEP YOUR STREAK A daily streak and 7-day history keep you honest. Study a few minutes every day and watch it grow. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Use Recall instantly as a guest. Create a free account only if you want your decks and streak backed up and available on a new phone. Delete your account and all data anytime from Profile.
