Wall of love

Readers, remembering.

“I read more than I remember. QuizMe finally turned my browser into a memory I can revisit. Three months in, my notes are alive.”
Olivia Product designerToronto
“I've tried Anki, Notion, RemNote. None of them stuck. With QuizMe the friction is just one shortcut, and the cards are already there when I want to review.”
Marcus Engineering managerBerlin
“I stopped unsuspending someone else's 30,000-card deck. My cards come from what I actually read on the wards.”
Amelia Med student, year threeJohns Hopkins
“I wanted a way to remember the papers I was reading instead of pretending I had. The Cmd+I shortcut is the smallest, sharpest study habit I've built in years.”
Rohit PhD candidateOxford
“I spent ten years collecting notes. With QuizMe I'm finally collecting memories.”
Naomi Writer & researcherBrooklyn
“The reviews don't feel like studying. They feel like seeing an old friend. That's been the difference for me.”
Diego Software engineerMexico City
“Cold-calls used to terrify me. Now the case I read on Tuesday is still there on Friday.”
Priya Law studentNYU
“Documentation used to evaporate overnight. I'd read the same MDN page four times in a month. Now it sticks the first time, and the reviews show up while I'm already browsing.”
Sam Self-taught developerLisbon
“I highlight three sentences a day. That's the whole habit. Eighty days and counting.”
Hana Grad studentSeoul
“I recommended it to my sixth-formers, then caught myself using it more than they do.”
Theo History teacherLeeds
“The ad-slot thing sounded like a gimmick. It's quietly the best part — the page quizzes me back instead of selling me socks.”
Lena Data scientistZurich
“Reading on the internet finally has an afterlife.”
Jules EditorParis

While you browse

Ads become micro-reviews. The rest of the page is yours.

One of your due cards sits where a banner would have sat. No popups, no new tab.

How it works

The smallest study habit you'll ever keep.

01

Read like you always do

UpToDate, a qbank explanation, a Wikipedia tangent. No new tools.

02

Highlight, then ⌘ + I

One shortcut turns the passage into question-and-answer flashcards.

03

Practice in ad slots

Due cards appear where ads used to. Twelve seconds, one tap.

The mechanism

Med students proved this works. The deck was the problem.

94% of med students use spaced repetition; daily users score 4–13 points higher on Step 1. The catch is the deck — 30,000 pre-made cards to manage, or evenings making your own.

QuizMe skips the deck. Highlight the UpToDate entry, the qbank explanation, tonight's Wikipedia tangent — the cards make themselves, and SM-2 schedules them.

Forgetting curve vs. spaced reviews

The product, in three places

Three surfaces.
One memory.

A text selection, an ad slot, and a Chrome popup. Pick one; the other two follow.

  1. en.wikipedia.org / Working_memory

    Working memory · § Capacity

    The most influential estimate of working memory capacity is the “magical number seven, plus or minus two”, later refined by Cowan (2001) to roughly four discrete chunks for most tasks. Capacity scales with chunking, not with raw item count.

    Press ⌘ I to turn the highlighted passage into cards.

    The shortcut

    Highlight, then ⌘ + I.

    Select a passage — the UpToDate entry, the qbank explanation you’ll forget by Friday — and three question-and-answer pairs slide in, written from that passage.

    UpToDate, Wikipedia, arXiv, MDN, Substack, most PDFs.

    Memory is a leaky bucket. The cure is exponential.

    Review once, then twice as long, then four times as long. By the fifth or sixth review you remember it forever — but only if those reviews actually happen.

    What separates spaced repetition from any other study habit is the schedule, not the content. Anki users know the math. Most readers don’t. The challenge has always been getting the next review in front of you at exactly the right moment, without a ritual that collapses on day three.

    After 30 days, recall: spaced testing vs. re-reading?

    4 grades · SM-2

    QuizMe schedules the next review using SM-2: every successful retrieval roughly doubles the next interval, every failure resets it. The math is well-known; the surface to actually do the reviews is the missing piece.

Common questions

Honest answers.

What is QuizMe?
A Chrome extension that turns what you read into spaced-repetition flashcards. Highlight, press Cmd+I, and the reviews schedule themselves (FSRS).
How is it different from Anki?
Same algorithm, no deck. Anki asks you to build or manage a 30,000-card deck; QuizMe makes 3-5 cards from the passage you just read, and you review them while you browse.
How much does QuizMe cost?
Free for your first two months - every feature, no card required. After that it's $9.99/month via Stripe. Cancel anytime; your cards stay exportable.
What happens to the text I save?
Only the text you explicitly select is sent to our backend, and only when you click Generate or Save. We never read pages automatically, and we never sell or share your data.
Does it work with PDFs and YouTube?
Anywhere you can select text - articles, docs, most PDF viewers including Chrome's. YouTube transcripts work when the page exposes them.
Won't replacing ads break sites?
No. We only swap standard ad slots (300x250, 728x90), never article text or navigation, and the original element is preserved. Pages without ads are left untouched.

Browse normally. Remember more.
