Learning apps built on the science of memory
Most revision fades within weeks. MeSmart apps bring each topic back at the moment you're about to forget it, test you instead of re-reading, and plan everything around your real exam dates.
The apps
Every MeSmart app runs on the same memory engine, so an improvement in one reaches all of them. Each app adds the content, exam boards and grade scale for its own qualification.
The revision app built on the science of memory, set up for your school. Exam boards, holidays and exam dates for your school, a daily plan, and written answers marked against the mark scheme.

The science
These come from decades of memory research. Each one is a feature you'll use every day, not a claim on a poster.
Pulling an answer out of memory strengthens it far more than reading it again.
In the app: daily questions, typed answers and brain dumps instead of highlighting.
Reviewing just as you start to forget makes memories last much longer.
In the app: questions return after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days; whole topics are re-checked after a week and a month.
Saying how sure you are, then seeing the answer, sharpens your judgement. Confident mistakes, once corrected, tend to stick.
In the app: "I'm sure" or "I'm guessing" on every question; confident mistakes come back first.
Trying questions before studying a topic makes the later learning stick better, even when the guesses are wrong.
In the app: a three-question pre-test before each topic's notes.
For calculations, studying a full example, then finishing a half-done one, then solving alone beats starting cold.
In the app: worked examples and mixed practice in Maths and Physics.
Studies of AI tutors show they help when they guide students, and can harm learning when they simply hand over answers.
In the app: explanations appear only after you've answered.

For parents
Parents can agree rewards for real effort, see a weekly report, and know the plan fits the school year.
Set goals and rewards behind a PIN. Only proven work counts: answers too fast to have been read are ignored.
One tap sends you questions answered, accuracy, topics mastered and progress towards rewards.
Type the school and the app fills in exam boards, term dates and holidays, then builds a plan to the last exam.
No ads in the apps, no public profiles, and leaderboards use nicknames only.
