# Spaced repetition, done for you

You forget most new things within days. Toly brings each card back right before that happens, so a few minutes a day is enough to keep what you learn.

## The forgetting curve, flattened

Memory fades fast after you first learn something. Each time you recall it at the right moment, it fades more slowly. That’s the idea behind spaced repetition, first described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885 and confirmed by many studies since.

Toly does the timing for you. You review; it decides when.

## How Toly schedules a card

1. **You see the front**: Try to remember the answer before you look.
2. **You show the answer**: Check yourself against the back of the card.
3. **You choose Again or Got it**: Two honest options. No rating scales to think about.
4. **Toly picks the next day**: Got it pushes the card further out. Again brings it back soon.

## A routine that fits in a coffee break

Choose a daily goal of 5, 10, or 15 minutes and a reminder time. Toly counts your goal as done when you’ve reviewed everything that’s due, even if it took less time.

- No cap on reviews: every due card is always available.
- A reminder at the time you pick.
- Widgets show what’s waiting.

## Questions

### What is spaced repetition?

A study method where you review information at growing intervals, right before you’d forget it. It uses far less time than cramming for the same result.

### Do I need to set intervals?

No. Toly plans every review from your answers. There are no settings to tune.

### What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing breaks. Your due cards wait for you, and Toly keeps the schedule going from where you are.

### Is there a daily review limit?

No. Every card that’s due is always there, on the free plan too.
