Why spaced repetition works
Good flashcards do two things well: they make you retrieve an answer from memory, and they bring it back before you forget it completely.
Retrieval builds memory
Trying to recall an answer strengthens learning more than simply rereading. A flashcard works because it asks you to bring the idea back on your own.
Spacing improves retention
Reviewing across time helps information last longer than cramming. Seeing a card again after some forgetting makes the next recall more durable.
FSRS picks the timing
Snabb uses FSRS to schedule reviews based on how memory changes over time. The goal is simple: show cards when they are most worth reviewing.
Research on retrieval practice and spacing has repeatedly found stronger long-term retention than rereading or cramming. The aim is not to review everything all the time, but to keep more of what you learn with fewer wasted reviews.
A simple study loop
Everything in Snabb fits into one rhythm: build a deck, make cards, review what is due, and keep going.
Flashcard decks
Organize your flashcards into decks for each topic, subject, exam, or project so your study stays clear as it grows.
Scheduled reviews
Study what is due instead of reviewing everything. The schedule keeps sessions focused and helps you remember more with less repetition.
Card creation
Write cards yourself or turn notes, links, PDFs, videos, audio, and prompts into new cards inside the right deck.
Daily study
Open the app, see what needs attention, and start reviewing without having to decide what to study first.
Progress
Keep track of due cards, new cards, and deck activity so you can see where your study is moving and what needs work.
AI assistance
Generate cards, explain difficult ideas, and improve weak cards without breaking your study flow.
AI, where it belongs
Use AI to turn your material into cards, explain difficult ideas, and improve weak cards while you study.
Explain
Ask for a simpler explanation when a card or concept is not landing.
Generate
Turn prompts and source material into a first draft of cards, then edit them into shape.
Improve
Fix weak cards and turn messy notes into something clearer before you study them.
Why does osmosis happen across a semi-permeable membrane?
Think of it as water moving to balance concentration on both sides of the membrane...
Can you turn this into a few cards?
Sure — I'll make cards for the definition, the direction of flow, and a real example.
