Retention, not engagement.

Learn anything. Remember it for years. Not just until tomorrow.

Books, articles, courses. Space quizzes you right before you'd forget, so what you learn actually stays.

Free on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux. 5 min a day.

The attention economy made you forget. Retrieval gets it back.

95 min daily on feeds engineered to erase what you just saw
70% of new information fades within 24 hours
2.2× better recall when you test yourself instead of re-reading

The bottleneck isn't input. It's retention.

You already consume enough. The attention economy made sure of that. The problem is that almost none of it compounds.

The feed trained you to forget.

The attention tax

Every platform on your phone optimizes for engagement, not memory. The habit is contagious: you start skimming books and articles the same way you scroll reels. Input goes up. Retention goes to zero.

Your notes app is a graveyard.

Capture ≠ retention

Highlighting, bookmarking, saving for later: it feels productive because it runs on the same dopamine loop as scrolling. None of it rewires memory. Passive storage gives you the illusion of knowing without the substance.

AI compounds daily. Your memory doesn't.

The asymmetry problem

Every model ships with more capability than the last. Your recall, judgment, and expertise stagnate inside an attention economy built to keep you scrolling past everything you meant to keep.

Built on decades of cognitive science.

Two techniques. 1,000+ studies. An algorithm tuned to your memory, not to your attention.

Active Recall

Every retrieval strengthens the neural pathway. Space forces retrieval. The single most effective learning technique ever measured.

Instead of re-reading, you actively reconstruct knowledge from memory. Each successful retrieval makes the next one easier and more durable.

Spaced Repetition

Review at the precise moment before you forget. Not sooner. Not later. The timing is everything.

Spacing reviews at increasing intervals creates permanent memory with minimum effort. The optimal schedule is different for every piece of knowledge.

FSRS-6 Algorithm

The most advanced open-source spaced repetition scheduler. It models your personal forgetting curve and optimizes every interval.

Peer-reviewed research shows FSRS-6 predicts recall more accurately than SM-2, the algorithm Anki has used since 1987. It adapts to your individual memory patterns, so every review is precisely timed.

From reading to retention in 30 seconds

Space's AI extracts the structure from any document: paste, upload, snap. You review. The algorithm does the rest.

Instant Extraction

Paste a URL, upload a PDF, snap a page. AI identifies the key concepts and generates a structured knowledge set in seconds.

Engineered for serious learners.

Every feature exists because it makes your learning more effective. Nothing more.

FSRS-6 Scheduling

Calculates optimal review timing for every card. Adapts to your memory. Zero configuration.

AI Knowledge Extraction

URL, PDF, or text in. Structured knowledge out. Seconds, not hours.

Cross-Platform Sync

iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux. Real-time sync. Pick up where you left off.

Universal Import

Anki, CSV, Excel, Google Sheets. Bring your existing knowledge. Zero lock-in.

Rich Content

Images, audio, code blocks, LaTeX, drawings. Some knowledge can't be reduced to text.

Offline-First

Full functionality without connectivity. Sync resumes automatically.

Your knowledge pipeline.

Three stages. One system. Compounding returns.

INGEST

Ingest

Feed Space anything worth remembering. A URL, a document, a lecture. AI extracts the structure.

REVIEW

Review

FSRS-6 schedules precision-timed reviews. 5–15 minutes daily. The algorithm handles the rest.

COMPOUND

Knowledge builds on knowledge. Over weeks and months, what you review crystallizes into retrievable expertise.

Other apps compete for your attention.
Space builds your memory.

vs. Note-taking apps

Notion, Obsidian, Roam capture information. Space makes you remember it. Capture without retrieval is storage, not learning.

  • No retrieval practice built in
  • No intelligent scheduling
  • No forgetting curve awareness

vs. Legacy tools

Anki pioneered spaced repetition. Space modernizes it: FSRS-6 over SM-2, native AI, real-time sync across 5 platforms, and a UI that belongs on a modern phone.

  • More advanced algorithm (FSRS-6)
  • AI-powered knowledge extraction
  • Native on every platform

vs. No system

Most professionals have no retention strategy. They rely on re-reading, bookmarks, and hope. Space replaces hope with science.

  • 5 min/day is all it takes
  • Algorithm handles scheduling
  • Knowledge compounds automatically

Frequently asked questions

Is this just a flashcard app?
No. Space is a knowledge retention system. Active recall is the interface; the intelligence sits in the FSRS-6 scheduler and the AI pipeline.
How is this different from taking notes?
Notes capture information. Space makes you retrieve it. Retrieval is what creates durable memory. This is the most replicated finding in cognitive science. Notes decay. Space compounds.
How much time does this take?
5–15 minutes daily. The algorithm ensures every minute targets the right material. Most users review during commutes or between meetings.
Is it free?
Yes. Core retention is free forever on every platform: scheduling, reviews, sync, and imports. Pro unlocks the AI features.
What is FSRS-6?
The most advanced open-source spaced repetition scheduler. It models your personal forgetting curve and optimizes every review interval. Peer-reviewed and more accurate than Anki’s SM-2.
Can I import existing material?
Yes. Anki (.apkg), CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and Google Sheets. Your learning history is preserved during import.
What platforms are supported?
Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Seamless cloud sync across all platforms.
What does Space Pro include?
Core retention is free with no limits. Pro adds unlimited AI: knowledge extraction, explanations, chat, and formula conversion. See the full pricing breakdown at /pricing.
