How it works — effortlessly
You don’t need to study harder. You just need to review at the right time.
Step 1
Drop In What You’re Learning
Create a topic and add what you need to remember — like “Arrays - Two Sum” or “Japanese Verb Conjugation.” Your actual notes and materials stay wherever they already are.
Step 2
Hit Study
When items are due, hit Study. Open your notes, textbook, or slides and read through the flagged items. No quizzing, no pressure — just a quick read-through.
Step 3
Wait for the Next Review
Retentive calculates the exact moment each memory starts to fade and schedules your next review. You never wonder what to study or when.
Step 4
Review Again When It’s Time
When the app tells you it’s time, review the items again. Review an item 5 times to master it — after that, the intervals get longer and longer.
Step 5
Archive, Maintain & Master
Items move through stages — from In Review to Maintenance to Mastery. Archive what you’re done with and watch your mastered items grow.
