A Ukrainian IT guy named Rostyslav has released a free app called Repeat Right, which reminds users to return to notes and study materials at the right moment so that the information they have learned is not forgotten.
According to the developer, the application is primarily aimed at students, people who study foreign languages, read nonfiction, and generally take notes.
Repeat Right is based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve: if you return to the material in a timely manner, knowledge is retained in memory for longer. The user studies something — reads a book, takes a course, watches a lecture, or listens to a podcast — and adds the name or link to their summary of this material to the application. After 20 minutes, the application sends the first reminder to repeat the material; after clicking the «Repeat» button, the system automatically schedules the next reminder according to the standard interval repetition scheme: 20 minutes → 1 day → 14 days → 60 days. If necessary, these intervals can be changed to suit you.
An important detail: Repeat Right does not store the user’s notes or study materials themselves — the application only works as a reminder of when it’s time to return to them.
The service is free and does not require registration. You can install Repeat Right as a regular app on your phone or computer — by adding it to your home screen in Chrome or Safari (Android, iPhone) or by installing it in Chrome/Edge on your computer, without downloading it from app stores.
The developer is looking for the first 100 users: as of the time of publication, over 90 have already been recruited, with about 10 spots remaining. Those who make it to the first 100 will receive free access forever.
