A spaced repetition schedule is simply when you should review your flashcards so your brain remembers them for a long time. Instead of cramming, you review at the perfect moments — right before you forget. This is one of the most efficient ways to study anything: languages, school subjects, exams, or professional knowledge.

Flashrecall makes spaced repetition automatic, so you never have to plan your review schedule manually.

What Is a Spaced Repetition Schedule?

A spaced repetition schedule decides how often you should see a card.

A simple version looks like this:

  • Review 1: Right after learning
  • Review 2: 1 day later
  • Review 3: 3 days later
  • Review 4: 1 week later
  • Review 5: 2–3 weeks later
  • Review 6: 1–2 months later

The spacing grows over time because your memory becomes stronger with every review.

This prevents forgetting and saves hours of study time.

How Flashrecall Makes Spaced Repetition Schedules Automatic

✔️ Automatic scheduling (no settings needed)

Flashrecall figures out your optimal schedule for every card:

  • Hard → shown again sooner
  • Medium → steady intervals
  • Easy → spaced out much further

You don’t need to plan anything.

The app does all the scheduling automatically.

✔️ Instant flashcard creation

Flashrecall saves even more time by letting you create flashcards from:

  • Images
  • Text
  • Prompts
  • PDFs
  • Audio
  • YouTube videos

No typing hundreds of cards like traditional systems.

✔️ Built-in reminders

Flashrecall notifies you when it’s time to review, so your spaced repetition schedule stays consistent — which is the key to long-term memory.

✔️ Active recall + spaced repetition = fast memory

You try to remember the answer before flipping the card (active recall).

Flashrecall then schedules the next review at the perfect time (spaced repetition).

This combo is scientifically proven to dramatically boost memory.
