How to create and review flashcards
Build decks from scratch or from your notes, choose SM-2 or FSRS scheduling, and build a daily review habit that actually sticks.
How to import and organise notes
Bring in source material, structure it by subject, and link notes directly to flashcards and quizzes — so your knowledge is always connected.
Reading Overlay and accessibility settings
Reduce visual strain with Meares-Irlen style tints, adjust contrast, enable keyboard navigation, and set reduced motion across the whole app.
Quick tips
Small habits, big results
Simple changes that compound into real progress over time.
Name decks by topic, not subject
"Cell Division — Mitosis" beats "Biology". Focused decks keep review sessions short and precise.
Generate quizzes from notes
Open any note, hit the options menu, and select Generate Quiz. No manual question writing needed.
Review daily, not in long bursts
10–15 minutes every day outperforms a 2-hour cram session. Spaced repetition only works if you show up consistently.
Block revision time in Calendar
Schedule review sessions as calendar blocks so they appear alongside your deadlines and don't get crowded out.
Use Tasks for exam prep checklists
Break down a topic into subtasks and tick them off as you go — progress feels measurable and nothing slips through.
Enable Reading Overlay for long sessions
Find it in Profile → Accessibility. A soft tint reduces contrast fatigue during extended note-reading sessions.
