Have you ever spent hours studying for an exam, only to forget everything a week later? You're not alone. Traditional study methods are broken, and that's exactly why we built Recordary.

Recordary is a learning app that uses spaced repetition, a scientifically-proven technique that helps you remember anything you learn, forever.

The Problem with Traditional Studying

Most people study by cramming, re-reading notes over and over, or highlighting everything in a textbook. The problem? These methods don't work for long-term retention.

Research shows that we forget approximately:

  • 50% of new information within an hour
  • 70% within 24 hours
  • 90% within a week

This is called the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, and it explains why you forget so much of what you study. But here's the good news: there's a way to beat it.

How Spaced Repetition Works

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that shows you information at increasing intervals. Instead of reviewing everything every day, you review each concept just when you're about to forget it.

Here's the magic: every time you successfully recall something at the right moment, your brain strengthens that memory. The intervals between reviews grow longer and longer, until the information becomes permanent.

Example timeline for a new concept:

  1. Learn it today
  2. Review tomorrow (1 day later)
  3. Review in 3 days
  4. Review in 1 week
  5. Review in 2 weeks
  6. Review in 1 month
  7. Review in 3 months

This way, you spend less time studying while remembering more.

What Makes Recordary Different

The SM-2 Algorithm

Recordary uses the SM-2 algorithm, the same proven system used by professional learners and medical students worldwide. This algorithm calculates the perfect moment to show you each concept, based on how well you remembered it last time.

When you review a concept, you rate how easy it was to recall:

  • Hard: You barely remembered it (shorter interval)
  • Good: You remembered with some effort (standard interval)
  • Easy: You knew it immediately (longer interval)

The algorithm adapts to your performance, creating a personalized learning schedule for every concept.

Organize Your Knowledge

With Recordary, you organize what you want to learn into Topics and Concepts:

  • Topics: Categories for your learning (e.g., "Spanish Vocabulary", "World History", "Medical Terms")
  • Concepts: Flashcard-style question and answer pairs within each topic

This structure helps you manage large amounts of information while keeping everything organized.

Never Miss a Review

One of the biggest challenges with spaced repetition is consistency. Miss a few days, and your reviews pile up. That's why Recordary sends you WhatsApp notifications when concepts are due for review.

No more forgotten study sessions. Your reviews come to you, making it easy to maintain your learning streak.
