Spaced Repetition Flashcards

MemoryBoost uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm — the same method used by the world's top revision apps — to show you flashcards at exactly the right time. Forget cramming the night before. With spaced repetition, the information moves from short-term to long-term memory naturally and efficiently.

Choose from 29 pre-built starter decks covering every major GCSE and A-Level subject — Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, English Literature, History, Geography, Psychology, Economics, and many more. Or build your own custom decks from scratch.

9 Memory Games to Make Revision Fun

Revision doesn't have to be boring. MemoryBoost includes nine interactive memory games that turn your study material into an engaging challenge — every one of them designed around a proven retrieval-practice principle:

  • Memory Match – classic card-matching with your own terms
  • Sequence Recall – remember and reproduce ordered sequences
  • Word Scramble – unscramble key vocabulary against the clock
  • Speed Quiz – rapid-fire multiple choice for quick retrieval practice
  • True or False – fast-paced fact checking
  • Definition Dash – match terms to their definitions under time pressure
  • Odd One Out – spot the term that doesn't belong in the set
  • Rapid Recall – type as many answers as you can before the timer runs down
  • Memory Ladder – climb increasingly difficult rungs of related material

AI Study Companion – Your Personal Exam Tutor

Stuck on a concept? Ask the AI study companion for an explanation in seconds. The AI tutor is trained for GCSE, iGCSE and A-Level content across all major UK exam boards including AQA, OCR, Edexcel, CIE and WJEC. It understands command words, exam technique, and how to break down complex topics step by step.

Type your question or use voice input to speak it. Enable voice responses to have answers read aloud — ideal for auditory learners and students with reading difficulties.

22 Science-Backed Study Techniques

Most students revise inefficiently — re-reading notes and highlighting are among the least effective techniques. MemoryBoost's Study Techniques guide covers 22 evidence-based methods across five categories:

  • Core Methods – Active Recall, Spaced Repetition, Interleaving, Practice Testing
  • Encoding – Mind Mapping, the Method of Loci, Elaborative Interrogation, Mnemonics
  • Study Systems – the Feynman Technique, Pomodoro, Cornell Notes, Retrieval Practice
  • Brain Science – Sleep consolidation, Exercise and cognition, Stress management, Nutrition for focus
  • Daily Habits – the small everyday actions (movement, hydration, focus) that protect memory

Each technique includes step-by-step instructions, worked examples, effectiveness ratings and effort levels — so you can choose what works best for you.

Progress Tracking & Streak System

Stay motivated with visual progress tracking. See your review streaks, cards due, retention rates and game scores all in one dashboard. Understanding where you're improving — and where you need more work — is as important as the revision itself.

Daily Memory-Habits Tracker

Memory isn't just about flashcards — it's about the small, daily things that protect your ability to encode and retrieve information. The dashboard's Daily Habits widget lets you tick off six science-backed habits each day:

  • Move before you study – a short walk raises BDNF and primes the brain for learning
  • Stay hydrated – even 2% dehydration measurably reduces recall accuracy
  • Sleep 8–9 hours – consolidation of new learning happens overnight
  • Review within 24 hours – resets the forgetting curve before it drops
  • Phone in another room – removes the largest source of attention loss
  • Take real breaks – step away from screens to let the prefrontal cortex recover

Complete all six in a single day to grow your habit streak. The checklist resets at midnight automatically — no accounts, no nagging notifications.

Fully Accessible – Built for Every Learner

MemoryBoost is designed to be accessible to all students including those with dyslexia, ADHD, visual processing difficulties and other learning differences. The built-in accessibility panel provides:

  • OpenDyslexic font – designed to reduce letter confusion for dyslexic readers
  • High Contrast mode – maximum text visibility
  • Warm / Cream colour scheme – softer background for light sensitivity
  • Low Saturation mode – reduced colour intensity
  • Font size controls – three sizes for comfortable reading
  • Reduce Motion – disables all animations for users with vestibular conditions or ADHD
  • Focus Mode – strips decorative elements to minimise distractions
  • Read Aloud – any page can be read aloud using AI voice

Free to Use – No Personal Data Collected

MemoryBoost is completely free. Sign in anonymously with your Replit account — no name, email or personal information is required. Your progress is stored privately and linked only to your anonymous session.
