Rebuilding

Mnemo is being rebuilt, so downloads are paused until the new app ships. We are porting from Avalonia to React and Photino and redrawing every screen, so the screenshots here are a mix of the old app and the new one.

Your first session

Create a small deck and let the scheduler take over.

The fastest way to understand Mnemo is to feed it ten cards and review them tomorrow. This guide sets that up.

Create a deck

Open the flashcards module and create a new deck. Name it after something you are actually studying this week; real material beats demo material for getting a feel for the rhythm.

Add a handful of cards. Keep each card to one fact. "What year did X happen?" is a good card; "Summarize chapter 3" is not, because your brain cannot check its own answer honestly.

Review

Start a review session. For each card, try to recall the answer before revealing it, then grade yourself. Your grade is not a score, it is scheduling input: cards you found hard come back sooner, cards you found easy drift further into the future.

Come back tomorrow

This is the part that feels wrong and is right: stop when the session ends. The scheduler will queue each card again just before you would forget it. A few minutes a day beats an hour once a week, and the science page explains why.
