How it works
You already know how to learn. Your tools just forgot to help.
Follow one day with FocusPace from a blank plan to a topic you actually know, and see how each piece hands off to the next while you just show up and work.
01 · Spark
“I've got fifteen minutes before class. What's the best thing to learn right now?”
An AI-powered adaptive learning system that decides so you don't have to.
Spark reads your study data: the cards you missed, the subject you've been neglecting, the mistake you never came back to. Then it surfaces the one thing most worth your time now, and builds a session on the spot, sized to how long you actually focus.
- “Got 15 minutes?” builds a session sized to your real focus span
- A Daily Challenge drawn from your actual subjects, not a generic bank
- Surfaces the mistakes that keep tripping you up
For You
Based on your study data
What is the primary goal of studying metabolic networks?
You missed “ATP synthesis” twice this week, worth revisiting.
What your memory does after one study session
Memory strength over the days that follow
02 · Spaced Repetition
“I understood every word in the lecture. Two days later it was just... gone.”
Your brain forgets on a schedule. So we review on one.
It isn't a discipline problem. Left alone, most of what you learn today slips away within a couple of days. FocusPace brings each card back the moment before you'd lose it, so the schedule does the remembering. The grey line below is forgetting; the violet line is you, reviewing at the right moments. See the evidence on The Why.
- Four honest ratings that mirror how recall actually feels
- Intervals that grow as a card becomes second nature
- No cramming; the schedule does the remembering for you
The one tap that does the work
Be honest, and the timing takes care of itself.
After you see the answer, you rate it. That single tap is the whole engine: it tells FocusPace whether a card comes back tomorrow or in two weeks.
What does the mitochondria produce?
Rate how that recall actually felt.
Blank. Didn't get it at all.
Got it, but it took effort.
Remembered without struggle.
Instant. Completely natural.
03 · Bloom's Taxonomy
“I can recite the definition perfectly. Ask me to use it and I freeze.”
Knowing a word isn't the same as knowing the idea.
There's a real difference between repeating a definition and using that idea on a problem you've never seen. FocusPace tags every card with how deep it goes, so the cards that ask you to apply an idea come back more often than the ones that just ask you to remember a fact. See the evidence on The Why.
- Six levels, from Remember to Create, each weighted differently
- Cards are tagged as you write them, nothing extra to fill in
- Deeper levels return more often, where the real learning lives
04 · Focus Timer
“I sit down to learn and somehow twenty minutes vanish into my phone.”
Big tasks don't get done. Small blocks do.
Knowing what to study doesn't help if you never start. Pick one task, start a short timer, and work until it rings; a block that small is hard to dread, so you actually begin. FocusPace runs the timer off the clock, so it keeps perfect time even if you lock your phone, take a call, or close the app, and a short break lands before your focus starts to fray.
- One task, one timer, small enough that starting feels easy
- Timed from the clock, so it survives lock, calls, and closing the app
- Auto breaks and focus audio keep your pace sustainable
The daily loop
The loop you run every day.
Plan a day that fits, focus on it, capture what you learn while it's fresh, then review what's about to fade. Each pass leaves FocusPace a little smarter about what to put in front of you next. You never tune a setting or build a schedule; you just show up.
Set a milestone and break it into honest, timed tasks for the day.
Run calm, timed sessions that log real minutes back to the plan.
Keep notes, maps, and mistakes while the thinking is still fresh.
Cards come back right before you'd forget them, harder ones sooner.
Spark reads the whole loop and points you at what to do next.
