Drop a source. Get an honest pack. Practice it forever.
- Problem
- AI study tools paraphrase confidently and never make you retain any of it.
- Grading
- Code checks your answer against the source —
gateCards()decides, not the model. - Scheduling
- FSRS-6 — the same forgetting-curve algorithm serious SRS apps use.
- Studio
- Describe a topic, drop a source, and an agent builds the deck in chat.
- Ownership
- Cards are markdown files on disk. One deploy, one user, no accounts.
AI Study Tools Don't Make You Remember
AI study tools turn a document into a summary you skim once. Quiz bots ask you questions and grade however the model feels that day. Neither one schedules a review, and neither one proves the card is actually true.
The Grade Is Owned By Code
Every answer is checked against a deterministic rubric, not a model's mood. The turn machine records your response before it will reveal the card, then a grader — code, not the agent — decides the rating.
async respond(card: RecallCard, response: string) {// Dispatch by card.meta.grader — the model can propose, never decide.const evaluation = await gradeResponse(card, response);turn.response = response;turn.evaluation = evaluation;return evaluation;}reveal(card: RecallCard) {// GATED: only allowed once a response has been recorded for this card.}
A Line You Can Check
gateCards verifies every card's source quote is a literal substring of the material you gave it — numbers and proper nouns get the same check. Anything unverified is held, never silently installed.

An Agent Builds the Deck With You
Describe what you want to learn, in chat, and Studio authors the whole pack — three steps, in order.

Describe it
Say what you want to learn and pick a style: spaced retention, compliance, or onboarding.

Give it sources
Drop a file, paste a link, or skip both and let it author from the topic alone.

Shape it in chat
Watch the honesty ledger fill in, review anything held, and finalize when you're happy.
