## Description

Ebbinghaus is a simple, focused flashcard app built around the science of spaced repetition – so you remember more in less time, without clutter or distractions.

Create your own decks for any topic (languages, exams, work, hobbies) and let the app handle the review schedule for you, based on Ebbinghaus' classic forgetting curve.

+++ WHY EBBINGHAUS? +++
+ Minimal, distraction-free design: Just your cards. No feeds, gimmicks or noisy UI – ideal for deep focus.
+ Spaced repetition built-in: Cards are automatically scheduled using increasing intervals so you review right before you’re likely to forget.
+ Free review mode: Want an extra run-through before a test? Flip through any deck (shuffled) freely without affecting your spaced-repetition schedule.
+ Progress you can see: A simple chart shows your recall ability over time at different intervals (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 days), plus lifetime correct vs incorrect cards.
+ Smart reminders: Optional daily notifications per deck so you never miss a review session.
+ Dark mode: Easy on the eyes for late-night study sessions, with a thoughtful dark theme throughout the app.
+ Private by design: Your cards live on your device. No account required.

Whether you’re learning a language, preparing for an exam, or just want a better memory, Ebbinghaus gives you a calm, science-backed way to make what you learn actually stick.

## Review summary

Reviewers praise Ebbinghaus for offline, ad-free, minimalist use with unlimited decks and simple flashcard creation. However, recurring issues include a confusing start/review flow, inability to select/preview decks, lack of shuffle, and limited deck management. UX refinements and feature additions could unlock its full potential while preserving its lightweight, offline nature.

- Simple, minimalist UI that's easy to use.
- Unlimited decks and flashcards.
- Efficient workflow for creating and reviewing flashcards.

### Cons

- UX friction and unclear start/review flow, making it hard to begin studying.
- Inability to select or preview decks to review; deck selection is not obvious or functional.
- No shuffle or randomization; cards are shown in added order.
- Limited deck management (no easy reordering/moving of decks).
