Mr.Bear - Photo Flashcards

No typing. Snap a photo of what you studied and it becomes a flashcard. Reviews are scheduled automatically. No sign-up, no subscription.

Studied it? Snap it. Done.

Mr.Bear is not another typing-based flashcard app. Handwritten notes, textbooks, whiteboards, mistake logs — point your camera at what you need to remember, and it becomes a flashcard. Time to create a card: 10 seconds.

■ Reviews scheduled automatically

According to Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, memories fade fast without review. Mr.Bear automatically schedules 5 review points — 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30 days after you create each card — and reminds you when it's time. You can also adjust the intervals to your own pace.

■ Recall, don't re-read

Simply looking at the photo again does not strengthen memory. When you review, read the title first, try to recall the content, then open the photo only for the parts you couldn't remember. When nothing comes to mind, it's frustrating. But that effort is exactly what makes the memory last. This is retrieval practice, a technique proven effective by cognitive science.
