Spaced repetition

Spaced repetition for the chapter you’re studying.

Hemle turns your chapter into concepts you can practise, then brings each one back just before you’d forget it. Answer well and it waits longer; struggle and it comes back sooner.

One concept, scheduled

After one lesson and one quiz on Lesson 1 of CDC’s Principles of Epidemiology, Hemle drew this concept’s memory curve and set its next review.

Stays above 90% until Oct 16. Review then and it holds until about Oct 26.

Recorded in Hemle. Taught once and practised once on 14 October 2026; the app set the next review two days out. From Lesson 1 of Principles of Epidemiology in Public Health Practice, a public-domain course by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The replies, cards and quiz were made by Hemle’s AI; CDC doesn’t endorse Hemle.

Scheduled per concept

Each idea in your chapter keeps its own schedule, so what you know well stays out of the way.

No cards to write

Hemle builds the concepts and questions from your file; you spend the time studying.

You can see why

Each concept’s memory curve shows how well you’re likely to remember it, when it’s due next, and how long a review would make it last.

How it works

  1. Drop in your chapter

    A PDF, Word file or PowerPoint deck, up to 20 MB. Until you have an account, it waits in your browser.

  2. Practise a concept

    Answer a few questions on it, and say how sure you are.

  3. Hemle sets the next review

    It estimates how well you’ll remember the concept and brings it back before that falls too far.

How to make spaced repetition work

Little and often

Short sessions most days beat one long session a week, because each review lands just as an idea starts to fade.

Do reviews when they’re due

A review done early teaches little, and one done far too late is starting over.

Be honest when you guess

Say when you weren’t sure. A lucky guess counted as knowing comes back too late.

Keep the source close

When a review goes badly, reread the page before you try again.

Common questions

What is spaced repetition?

A way of reviewing on a schedule: each idea comes back just before you’d forget it, and every good recall pushes the next review further out.

How does Hemle decide when to bring a concept back?

After you practise a concept, Hemle estimates how well you’ll recall it and schedules the next review before that falls too far. Answer well and it waits longer; struggle and it comes back sooner.

Do I have to make my own cards?

No. Hemle builds the concepts, questions and flashcards from the chapter you upload.

Do flashcards count toward the schedule?

No, practice does: answering questions on a concept is what sets its next review. Cards are for going over it whenever you like.

Where do I see what’s due?

On Today, the page you land on when you sign in. It shows the reviews that are due.

Is Hemle free?

Your first chapter is free, and you don’t need a card to start. Paid plans lift the limits when you want more.
