Turn a Chapter's Facts Into a Spaced-Review Plan
Re-reading a chapter feels productive and evaporates in a week. This turns the facts you actually need to remember into a dated six-session schedule with expanding intervals — day 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 — so the review happens on a calendar, not on a whim. Nothing is uploaded; the plan is computed in your tab.

The workflow
Paste the facts, one per line
List the things you must actually recall — dates, formulas, definitions, case names. The tool trims numbering and bullets, so you can paste straight from your notes. Ten to forty facts is the sweet spot; much more than that and the sessions blur together.
Set the start date to the day of the first review
The intervals (1, 3, 7, 14, 30 days) all hang off this date. Start the morning after you learn the material, not a week later — the first session is what moves a fact out of short-term memory.
Work each session as a blank-page test, not a re-read
For every card in the session, write the answer from memory before you look. The plan only works if each session is a retrieval, not a highlight pass. You miss a session by a day? Keep the same dates — the gap is the review.
Retire a fact only after session 6
A fact that survives the 30-day session moves to a weekly review; a fact you miss goes back to session 2. The tool numbers every card with its session so you never have to track it by hand.
Turn a chapter into facts with any free chat assistant
Read the passage below and list the facts a student would need to recall for an exam. Return exactly one fact per line, no numbering, no commentary. Keep every number, date, name, and formula exactly as written. PASSAGE: [paste the chapter section]

What breaks this
Pasting a whole paragraph as one “fact” makes the card un-testable — split at the sentence. Setting the start date in the past just gives you dates you've already missed; set it to tomorrow. Treating each session as a skim defeats the whole point: the intervals only consolidate what you actually recalled. If a fact keeps failing, it's too big — split it, don't skip it.

The schedule and card list are free forever. The $4 one-time tier adds:
- Printable card sheet — your facts and the six sessions laid out on one sheet — estimate: ~15 min saved versus copying cards by hand for a study group.
- Saved deck shelf — keep up to 20 decks in this browser — estimate: ~10 min saved per exam week of re-pasting the same list.
- Session check-off — tick each session done and the box updates — estimate: ~5 min saved per review of re-working the dates yourself.
