Read without losing the flow.

Long-press any word and its meaning opens right over the page. No switching apps, no lost place, no broken focus. Highlight what matters, add a note, and it stays on that line. Close the app and come back to the exact sentence you left.

Then FlowRecall does what an ordinary reader cannot: it asks you about what you read, right before you would forget it.

WHY YOU FORGET WHAT YOU READ

Reading is recognition. The words on the page supply the answer, so you never practise producing it, and most of a chapter is gone within days. That is the ordinary forgetting curve, not a personal failing.

Re-reading feels like learning because the second pass is smoother than the first. Fluency is not knowledge. Close the book and try to say what the section argued - most people who have just re-read a chapter twice cannot.

HOW FLOWRECALL WORKS

1. Read your own material. PDF, EPUB, or notes you paste in. Long-press any word for a definition without leaving the page.

2. Highlight a passage. It is saved to your device immediately and appears in your "Ready to add" queue. Nothing is scheduled until you say so.

3. Write the question yourself. This is the part that is the study, so the app does not do it for you. Two optional AI assists exist and both are deliberately narrow: Polish tidies grammar and may not change what is asked, and Answer answers strictly from the passage you highlighted, never from general knowledge.

4. Get asked again at the right moment. FSRS-6, the Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler, runs on your device and works offline. It estimates when each item is about to slip and brings it back then.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Most flashcard apps begin at the moment a card exists. For most students the card never exists, because making cards is a separate session that happens after the reading, when the material has already started to fade.

FlowRecall closes that gap by putting the card-making inside the reading, while the passage is still on screen and you still know why it mattered.

It is deliberately not a bulk generator. An earlier version produced cards automatically from an uploaded document, and that was removed on purpose: if the model writes the question, you have not retrieved anything.

BUILT FOR

Medical, law and engineering students. NEET, JEE, UPSC, CAT and GATE candidates. Anyone working through dense material they did not choose and cannot skim, where the syllabus is longer than the window you have to revise it in.
