The Mnemosyne Project

The Mnemosyne Project is a free flash-card tool which optimizes your learning process. It's also a research project into the nature of long-term memory. We strive to provide a clear, uncluttered piece of software, easy to use and to understand for newbies, but still infinitely customizable through plugins and scripts for power users.

Efficient learning:

• Mnemosyne uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your time on things you remember well.

Memory research:

• If you want, anonymous statistics on your learning process can be uploaded to a central server for analysis. This data will be valuable to study the behaviour of our memory over a very long time period. The results will be used to improve the scheduling algorithms behind the software even further.
