How we build it
Every card is written, reviewed, and only then practiced.
What happens before a question ever reaches your child — and the research the whole system stands on.
From draft to practice
Four steps before a card reaches your child.
The reviewed card is the only thing the system is allowed to show — there is no path from a draft to your child that skips the review.
The science we build on
Two well-studied ideas, applied daily.
MemClick rests on two findings that decades of memory research keep confirming: retrieval practice — pulling an answer from memory strengthens it — and spacing — reviews work better spread over time than packed into one sitting.
The schedule itself runs on FSRS, an open, modern spaced-repetition scheduler: each rating your child gives updates when that card should return.

Recalling an answer from memory strengthens retention more than re-reading the material.

A review of ten common study techniques rated practice testing and spreading practice over time as the two most effective.

Across hundreds of comparisons, reviews spaced out over time beat the same reviews packed together.

Your family’s data
Collected sparingly. Never sold.
Running MemClick takes very little: a phone number for the family account, first names for the learners, and each learner's own practice activity — which cards they answered and how it went. That activity exists to schedule their reviews and to show you their progress.
We show no ads, we sell no personal data, and we never market to your child. The full detail — including COPPA protections and how to delete your family's data — is in the privacy policy.
The rule we write everything else against: if it doesn't help a learner remember or a parent understand, we don't collect it.
Built carefully, because your child will see it every day.
