Retentive for iPhone
Your memory,
in your pocket.
Nowhere else.
Add what you’re learning, and your iPhone nudges you at the exact moment a review keeps it from fading.
Available now on the
App Store
The loop
Five screens to mastery.
1. Add it
One line per thing you’re learning. Subjects and topics keep it tidy.
2. Learn your item for the first time
Give it one focused pass right after adding. That first read is what starts the schedule.
3. Get nudged
A quiet notification on the day a review actually matters. Never busywork.
4. Hit Study
Open your own notes, review, mark it done. No quizzing, no flashcards.
5. Repeat to mastery
Each pass spreads reviews further apart, until it’s permanently engrained.
Local-first
Your data never leaves your phone.
There is no sign-up screen because there are no accounts. No servers because there’s nothing to send. What you’re studying is your business — Retentive couldn’t read it if it wanted to.
Works fully offline — planes, basements, exam halls.
Export a backup file anytime; import it on a new phone.
Delete the app, and every trace is gone. That’s the whole privacy policy, almost.
everything stays inside
