Ebbinghaus

Spaced repetition

Cards that come back until you remember them.

Ebbinghaus is a Telegram bot built on the forgetting curve. Send a question — it will remind you after 20 minutes, a day, two, four… until it sticks. You can also leave a paper deck on the table: one reminder card is enough, and you review the real cards when the bot pings you.

1. Send a card

Text, photo, or video is the question. Add an answer now or later. The bot hides the answer behind a spoiler.

2. Get reminders

Timezone and active hours are set in the bot. You can pause the whole account or a single card.

3. Edit the deck here

Sign in with Telegram to create and edit cards from a computer. Reminders still arrive in the messenger.

4. Paper deck

You don't have to digitize every card. A reminder like “Spanish verbs” is enough — when the bot writes, pick up the paper deck and go through it.

VKontakte and other messengers are coming later. For now the deck lives in Telegram.
