Crikit is an active-recall study app built around a simple idea: use circles as visual cues to bring the original words back to mind. One circle represents one phrase. Read a passage once, mark important phrases with circles, underlines, or waves, then look only at those cues and reconstruct the text from memory. If you get stuck, reveal the original answer and practice only the parts that still feel uncertain. Key features • Paste text or scan a page to create study material quickly • Mark phrases and turn them into personal memory cues • Recall by typing or speaking • Reveal the original text whenever you need an answer • Rate each result as Remembered, Uncertain, or Missed • Revisit only the weak parts • Track study time, accuracy, and daily progress • Organize classics, languages, law, speeches, and more by project • Study in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or English Premium access • Cirkit Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase for long-term learning insights and advanced study analysis. • Cirkit Plus is an auto-renewable one-year subscription for additional learning and ongoing study insights. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Cirkit Plus renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings after purchase. • Prices vary by region and are shown in the App Store before purchase. Pro and Plus purchases are handled and verified by Apple StoreKit. Privacy No separate account is required. Study content and progress stay on your device by default.
