Spaced Repetition App

Review at the right time. Less cramming, more retention—with flashcards built from your notes.

NoteFren spaced repetition: review schedule and retention

See what's due today. Review, rate, and let the algorithm schedule the next time.

Why use a spaced repetition app?

Science-backed: spacing beats cramming for long-term memory
Reviews happen when you're about to forget—maximum efficiency
Less total study time, better retention
AI-generated cards from notes—no manual scheduling

Short study sessions that actually stick

Short, frequent study sessions beat long cramming sessions for long-term retention. A spaced repetition app tells you exactly what to review today: you open the app, see your due cards, and spend 10–20 minutes on active recall. No guessing what to study or how long to spend—the algorithm schedules each card so you see it again just when you’re about to forget it. That means less total time and better results.

NoteFren fits short study sessions into your day. You can do a few cards between classes, on the bus, or before bed. The app tracks what you know and what needs more review, so every session is focused. Combine that with AI-generated cards from your notes and you get a full system: create content once, then study in small bursts with spaced repetition.

How short sessions work with spaced repetition

Session typeWhat you do
Daily reviewStudy only cards due today; 5–15 min typically
New cardsAdd a few new cards per day; algorithm mixes them with reviews
Catch-upIf you miss a day, due count may rise; do what you can
Before examMore cards may be due; spread over several short sessions

Frequently Asked Questions

Spaced repetition is a learning method where you review material at increasing intervals. Instead of cramming, you see a card again just when you're about to forget it. This leads to stronger long-term retention with less total study time.
When you study a flashcard, you rate how well you knew it (e.g. easy, good, hard). NoteFren uses that feedback to schedule the next review. Cards you struggle with appear sooner; ones you know well appear later. Over time, reviews spread out so you retain more with fewer sessions.
Yes. Research shows spaced repetition improves long-term retention compared to massed practice (cramming). You study less often but remember more—ideal for finals and long-term learning.
Yes. NoteFren turns your notes—typed, pasted, or scanned—into flashcards with AI. Those cards then go into the spaced repetition system so you review them at optimal times.
NoteFren offers a free tier so you can try spaced repetition with your own flashcards. Premium unlocks more decks and advanced features.
