A project by Richie Bose · built on memory science

Learn with your memory, not against it.

Engram schedules what you study with a state-of-the-art model of memory — difficulty, stability and retrievability. And unlike every other app, it shows you the model: the exact chance you'd recall each card, right now.

The problem

Most studying is time spent forgetting.

People pour hours into revision and keep almost none of it — because the methods we reach for by default are the ones cognitive science has shown barely work, and the tools that do work hide the one thing that matters: how likely you are to remember.

01

Re-reading feels like learning

Highlighting and re-reading give a feeling of fluency, but little durable memory. The effort that builds memory is recall, not review.

02

Cramming decays fast

New material can lose half its strength within days without reinforcement — the forgetting curve. Massed study fights that curve instead of using it.

03

The memory model is hidden

Even the best tools never show you why a card is due, or how firmly you hold it. Engram puts the memory model on the surface.

The solution

A visible model of your memory.

Engram's scheduler is built on the DSR model — difficulty, stability and retrievability — the approach behind FSRS, the current state of the art in spaced repetition. For every card it predicts your chance of recall right now, and times the next review for the exact moment that chance falls to your chosen target. You set the target; you see the model.

Step 1

Capture

Add cards by hand, paste a whole set at once — or let the built-in AI draft recall cards from your notes.

Step 2

Recall

A short daily session. You retrieve each answer from memory before you see it — the act that actually builds it.

Step 3

Model updates

Each rating updates the card's stability and difficulty, and sets the next review from your target retention.

Step 4

See the curve

Your dashboard shows retention holding high instead of decaying — the science, in your own data.

The app

Your memory, on a dashboard.

Open Engram and you land in a live workspace — your decks, your due reviews, and the forgetting curve bending in your own data. No set-up, no sign-up.

  • ✓
    A real study console. Stats, charts and decks in one view — see cards due, day streak, recall accuracy and average stability at a glance.
  • ✓
    Study that shows the model. Every answer reveals your recall chance, stability and difficulty — then schedules the next review.
  • ✓
    AI card generation. Paste notes or a topic and Engram drafts the recall cards for you.

The science it runs on

Three findings, a century apart, doing the work.

1885 · Ebbinghaus

The spacing effect

Memory lasts longer when study is spread over time instead of crammed. Engram sets each card's next review for the moment just before you would forget it.

Retrieval practice

Actively recalling something strengthens the memory far more than re-reading it. Every card is a recall test, never a re-read.

2022 · FSRS / DSR

The forgetting curve

Memory decays predictably after learning. The DSR model fits a curve to each card, so stability — how slowly it fades — grows with every success.

Self-optimising schedule

Fit the memory model to your own review history, so the timing gets more accurate the more you use it.

Study less. Remember more.

Open the app, create a deck, and watch your own forgetting curve bend. No sign-up — it runs right here in your browser.
