Local-first learning with AI agents

Understand any system. Remember what matters.

Use your agent to turn a codebase, research, or any topic into source-grounded recall prompts. You choose what enters your study plan; FSRS helps it stick.

A deliberate capture loop

Your agent can explore.
You decide what sticks.

Whether you are learning a codebase or a broader topic, generated content never becomes a scheduled card by accident. Every prompt passes through an inspectable workflow.

  1. 01

    Explore a system or topic

    Work through code, documentation, research, or study material with your agent.

  2. 02

    Generate recall prompts

    The agent proposes concise drafts grounded in the material, with rationale and sources.

  3. 03

    Try and approve

    Answer it, edit it, and accept only what belongs in your study plan.

  4. 04

    Remember on time

    FSRS-6 schedules each review to build durable recall efficiently.

Approval, not autopilot

Keep generated content reviewable and intentional.

Agent proposals remain local, editable, and unscheduled until you accept them. See why a card matters and where it came from before it joins your reviews.

  • ✓ Try the question before accepting it
  • ✓ Inspect rationale and source provenance
  • ✓ Edit the card, deck, and tags

Study at your desk
or stay in the terminal.

Desktop and terminal reviews use the same Rust StudySession. Card selection, scheduling, daily limits, and history cannot drift apart.
