How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a deck

    Enroll in a deck from the library, or create your own with Premium.

  2. 2

    Get a reminder when cards are due

    Hippocampus spaces each card out, showing it again just before you would forget it. You choose when reminders arrive and whether they come by direct message or email.

  3. 3

    Answer in chat or on the web

    A session takes a few minutes. Cards you miss come back sooner; cards you know come back less often.
