Bricks is a precision language learning tool designed for self-directed learners. Instead of following rigid, pre-made courses, Bricks allows you to build your vocabulary using the exact sentences and phrases you encounter in the real world.

From there, you can save specific words or entire phrases directly to your library with a single tap.

Smart Explanations: Instantly receive accurate translations, grammar insights, and detailed word-by-word breakdowns for complex sentences. Alternative Phrasings: Discover how to adjust your tone by exploring more formal or casual ways to express the same idea. Automatic Flashcard Generation: Save words or sentences instantly. Bricks automatically extracts the context, translation, and pronunciation to build complete flashcards. Optimized Review Algorithm: Our built-in spaced repetition system (SRS) intelligently schedules your reviews based on cognitive science, ensuring maximum retention with minimal daily study time.

Mnemo helps you memorize anything with flashcards: foreign words, terms, dates, formulas, capitals. Your first module takes just a couple of minutes. Go through the deck with a swipe, or let Mnemo quiz you in different ways and bring back whatever hasn’t stuck yet. No sign-up, no ads. Works offline. FOCUS ON WHAT’S HARD • Cards you get wrong come back more often until they stick. • Different tasks: flip a flashcard, type the answer, choose the correct answer or decide if it’s true or false. • Typos are forgiven: Mnemo tells you the answer was correct, just misspelled. • Several correct answers? Separate them with commas, and any of them counts. • Mnemo got it wrong? Tap “My answer was correct”, and your answer counts. • Learn both ways: the definition from the term and the term from the definition. • Review learned modules so you don’t forget them. FLASHCARDS WITH A SWIPE • In Flashcards mode, flip a card and rate how well you knew it: Again, Hard, Good or Easy. • Swipe in one of four directions or tap a button. Each rating shows when the card comes back: in a few minutes or in 2–3 days. • Undo a rating, shuffle the deck or choose which side faces up: the term or the definition. • Flashcards and Learn work together: cards you already know from Flashcards aren’t introduced again in Learn. TEST YOURSELF • Before an exam, take a test: choose how many questions and which types — true or false, multiple choice or a written answer. • At the end you get a score and a review of every answer: what you answered and the correct answer. • Want to know right away? Turn on “Show answers right away”. • The test doesn’t affect your progress: it’s just a check. CARDS IN MINUTES • Type terms and definitions or paste a ready-made list, one card per line. • Don’t want to type? Mnemo gives you a prompt for any AI chat. Send it with your notes or a photo of a textbook page, then paste the answer, and the cards are ready. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • See how many cards in each module are learned, in progress and not started. Flashcards and Learn both count. • Turn on reminders for a module, and Mnemo will tell you when it’s time to start, continue or review it — once a day at most. SHARE WITH FRIENDS • Send a module as a link, QR code, file or plain text. • Show the QR code on a projector, and the whole class gets the module. • No app yet? The link opens a page with the cards and a link to the App Store. • Got a newer version of a module? Update it and keep your progress. LEARN ANYWHERE • Study without internet: on the subway or on a plane. • Modules and progress sync between your iPhone and iPad via iCloud. • Light and dark appearance. • English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian. Switch the language right in the app. Privacy Policy: https://mnemo-app.pages.dev/privacy Terms of Use: https://mnemo-app.pages.dev/terms Support: https://mnemo-app.pages.dev/support
