Frequently asked questions
General questions
What is Hippocampus?
A flashcard study tool. It schedules each card with spaced repetition, reminds you when cards are due, and lets you review them in your chat app or on the web.
Which chat apps does it work with?
Discord today. Everything also works on the website, in any browser.
How does spaced repetition work?
You review each card again after a gap, and the gap grows each time you remember it. Reviews spread out like this stick far better than cramming. How spaced repetition works.
Account and pricing
Is Hippocampus free?
