About

MyÆDN

Features
Read full description

The app is in French. MyÆDN is a revision planner for French medical students in their second cycle (DFASM) preparing the EDN, the national written exams of the second cycle. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED MyÆDN is a subscription app: planning, calendar, final-review mode and sync require an auto-renewable subscription, after a 7-day free trial. Terms at the end of this description. THE J METHOD, AUTOMATED You remember better when you review an item at growing intervals (J0, J1, J3, J7…). MyÆDN works out when to review each item of the official list and shows only what is due today. A PLAN THAT FITS YOUR LIFE - Enter your year, your EDN date, your working days, your hours and your breaks. - Add placements, holidays and days off: the app moves reviews to your next available days. - Something came up? Change today's hours only, with a preview before you confirm. - Split a large item, add your own courses, restart a whole subject at J0 over one to three weeks. YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY - Hours for each day in several slots; "Mes horaires de ce jour" changes one day or a period (placement, shift…). - Habits and markers (meals, bedtime), the order of your day (J0 first, reviews first or by priority) and a 24 h view. - Ancrages (your error deck) placed when you want; a pass can be done as MCQs only. - Subject blocks: time reserved for one subject (collège) each week, filled with its due passes. - Your calendars in a second column of the day view: say once per event whether it gets in the way. - Item list with last seen and results; "Ma passe du… était la J…" turns an earlier pass into your J3; split items and merge them back. - A clearer home screen: one Add button, and how far behind you are, without red. A VISUAL CALENDAR See your workload over several weeks, coloured from light to dense. Tap a day for its detail. Track your coverage: items seen, in progress, mastered, by subject and overall. FINAL-REVIEW MODE As the EDN approaches, switch to final review: the app spreads read-through passes over all your items and shows an honest summary when time runs short. iPHONE + iPAD SYNC Sign in with your e-mail and find your progress on iPhone and iPad. STAY REGULAR Evening check to postpone or validate what was not done, streak of consecutive days, morning and evening reminders, quote of the day. ACCOUNT PROVIDED BY A PREP SCHOOL If a prep school gave you your account, it only sees that the account exists and the date you last used it: nothing of your work. SUBSCRIPTION A 7-day free trial is offered, then the auto-renewable "Calendrier" subscription unlocks every feature: monthly, every six months, yearly, or yearly "until the EDN". The price for your country is shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at the end of the free trial (at purchase if there is no trial), then at each renewal. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

It is not a medical device, a care tool or a source of medical content: it provides no course and no clinical advice, and processes no patient health data. MyÆDN guarantees no result, ranking or success at the EDN: your progress depends on your own work.

About

Mnemesia

Read full description

Mnemesia is built for medical school: the course, the cards and the exam together in one workspace, from the first year to the national ranking exam. No account and no Mnemesia server: everything stays on your devices, and it works offline. COURSES Import course PDFs from the Files app, iCloud Drive or other cloud storage, and organize them by year, semester, module and chapter. Annotate them directly: highlighters, text, freehand drawings. Text recognition makes the text selectable, even on scanned lecture notes. A tape laid over a line hides it: lift it to check what you remember. Apple Pencil gets its own ring of tools, and the tool island shrinks away like in Notes. FLASHCARDS Make a card from the open course without leaving it: front and back, cloze deletion, or image masking to quiz yourself on an anatomy plate or a physiology diagram. Spaced repetition decides what comes back, and when. MULTIPLE-CHOICE TESTS Build a test, take it against the clock, then go through the answers question by question: multiple choice, short answer and progressive clinical cases, images included. Every answer sheet stays available, missed questions can be retaken in one tap, and results break down by chapter. The scoring rules of the EDN (the French national medical ranking exam) are available, as well as points-based scoring for faculty exams. To practise, tick several tests: questions are spread across courses, each test keeps its own grade, and the session resumes where you left off. Past papers have their own view, PDF papers included. J-METHOD In the first year, each course you learn comes back at J1, J3, J7 and so on, in the calendar. Anything overdue shows at a glance. ORGANIZING Courses, groups, subjects, decks and tests can be ticked to move or delete them at once, or rearranged by dragging. Each subject keeps its colour across every tab. PLANNER Enter the exam dates: the review load spreads over the remaining days, starting with what weighs most. EDN ITEMS In the clinical years, a tab organizes the EDN items by specialty, and each course is linked to its item. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Turn on iCloud in Settings: courses, cards, progress and planner move from one device to another in seconds, through your own iCloud account. The iPad and the Mac each keep a full copy that works offline. Everything is on iPhone too: read and import courses, review cards, take tests, check your planner and organize it all just as on iPad or Mac. FILES Documents stay as files, visible in the Files app. Whatever you delete in Mnemesia goes to an Archives folder instead of being erased. Nothing is locked into a format only this app could read. IMPORT AND EXPORT .apkg decks import as they are, media included, with their review history, and export back to .apkg. CSV and TSV lists import too. PRIVACY No sign-up is required and no data is collected. Documents, cards and results stay on your devices, and in your iCloud if you turn it on. In English and French. Designed by an engineer who is also a medical student, for medical students.
