Factopus: Fun Micro Learning

Learn something new in the time a coffee takes to cool. Factopus is micro learning in its simplest form: short lessons with quick quizzes, plus a feed of fun facts you swipe like stories. No lectures, no homework, and the teacher is an octopus.

Pick a topic: history, psychology, finance, astronomy, communication, critical thinking. Dog training is in there too. The catalog runs 250+ courses and 1,400+ lessons, each one short enough to finish between two subway stops.

Lessons that stay with you
Every lesson ends with a quiz, so what you read stays read. Right answers earn stars, streaks track your pace, and a daily goal keeps those five minutes from quietly becoming zero.

Fun facts for the spare minute
Some minutes are too short even for a short lesson. That's what the facts feed is for: 700+ standalone facts to swipe through. Battles that changed everything, what your brain does with unfinished tasks, what the Wild West looked like minus the movie gloss. It plays like trivia, except every answer comes with the story behind it, and a few daily facts will get retold at dinner.

29 topics, one octopus
History, Psychology, Finance, Career, Communication, Critical Thinking, Decision Making, Physics, Astronomy, Geography, Art, Literature, Philosophy, Economics, Nutrition & Health, English, Parenting, Dog Training and more. Start with one and switch whenever you like; your general knowledge grows either way.

Start in three steps
1. Pick a topic and answer a few quick questions.
2. Get a plan built around the minutes you have each day.
3. Finish your first lesson in about five minutes.

Facto, the octopus in charge, has eight arms and strong opinions about wasted minutes. He keeps your streak honest.
