The latest memory model

Hipocampus runs FSRS-5 — the current state-of-the-art free spaced-repetition algorithm by the Open Spaced Repetition team. The scheduler models difficulty, stability and retrievability for every card and predicts your forgetting curve from day one.

A private study coach

When you miss a card, Hipocampus can explain the likely confusion and suggest related concepts to revisit. The first release is local-first and keeps the review loop focused on your own cards.

Free recall, the way memory actually works

Type an answer or draw with Apple Pencil. Vision recognises handwriting and the grader turns the response into a review rating. Recognition cards are nice; recall cards are how you pass.

Import your existing decks

Drop in a compatible .apkg deck export from Files. Hipocampus imports the deck, then Pro schedules reviews with FSRS-5.
