Recall and review

Think first. Then reveal.

Recall is more than flipping cards: cover the mind map and the source, get hints one step at a time, and check once you remember.

A mind map in Recall: cards show titles only, their content covered
Covered: only titles and structure
The same mind map with “Subjects on the walls” revealed, showing text and cave paintings
Revealed: tap one, check one

In-place mind map recall IMPROVED IN MN5

Cards keep only their titles; reveal them one by one, with the structure always in view.

Recall by level

Expand to any level in one tap — from the big picture down to the details.

Cover the source too

Excerpts and highlights in the document blur until tapped; jumping back from the map reveals that one automatically.

Start over any time

What you revealed this session isn’t written into your notes — cover everything again in one tap.

On to spaced review

Cards you couldn’t recall go into a review deck, scheduled with spaced repetition.

A hint card during Recall on iPhone: L1 Gentle nudge, with Next hint and Reveal

Stuck? Hints, one step at a time.

Start with a gentle nudge; still stuck, take the next hint — reveal the answer last.

Condense

Fold a long passage into one card.

Select a passage with block selection and tap Condense: the source folds away, leaving a summary card. Unfold it whenever you need the original.
