Never lose track
of what you've learned.

Retain keeps a record of every topic you've revised, how it went, and when it's due again — so you always know where you are in a subject. No decks to build, no cards to write.

Log a session
Logging a session takes four taps.
One question per screen, and you can go back at any point. Here it is, start to finish.
01
Pick the topic

Your tag is already selected, so the list is short. Tap a topic, or add a new one right there — no setting up a subject tree first.

Say when, and how it went

Today by default — or backdate a session you forgot to log. Then one honest answer: struggled, getting there, or confident. That's what sets the next date.

Know where you stand

Each tag fills with colour as its topics firm up — red early, green once it's holding. Open one to see every topic and every session you've logged against it.

Swipe, don't navigate
No menus, no tab bar. Left for the calendar, right for what's due today, up for all your tags, down for settings.
Notes worth keeping
Add a short note to any session what clicked, what didn't. Optional, and there next time you come back to the topic.
Your schedule, overridable
Take the suggested date, pick your own, or don't schedule at all. Backdate a session you forgot, or plan one ahead.
Start with one topic.
Log the last thing you studied. Retain does the rest.
