The method
Spaced repetition is the same memory technique used by medical students and polyglots — reviewing words right before you'd forget them, so they move into long-term memory. Kotatabi pairs that proven method with progress tracking and a community that makes showing up every day easier than skipping it.
Based on decades of cognitive science research on memory consolidation.
Reviews are timed to hit right before you'd forget — proven to boost retention 200% over cramming.
XP, streaks, and levels turn invisible progress into something you can see grow every single day.
Leaderboards and friends make studying a little bit social — users with an active streak group are 47% more consistent.

"I tried Anki, Memrise and Duolingo. Kotatabi is the only one where I kept my streak past two weeks. The leagues keep me honest."
