How a Synapse app works
- Cards from guidelines. Each card is written against a named guideline or primary source and shows the date it was last reviewed. Citations open the source in the app.
- Scheduling you do not manage. The FSRS algorithm decides what to show and when, from four grades you give each card. The exam blueprint weights which topics come up.
- On the device. Study history, settings and progress live on your phone or tablet. Nothing is sent to us. The apps work offline.
- One purchase. Every app is a free download with a short sample session, then a one-time unlock. There is no subscription.
