A study habit, in one shortcut.

Remember
what you learn
for life.

You read more than you remember. QuizMe turns the pages you already open into flashcards you'll actually review — and the ad slots you already ignore into twelve-second study breaks.

While you browse

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

QuizMe watches the ad slots most pages already render and quietly swaps them for one of your due cards. No popups, no banners — just a card sitting where a banner would have sat.

    Memory is a leaky bucket.

    The leak is exponential, but so is the cure: review once, then twice as long, then four times as long.

    Every ad you would have ignored becomes a micro-review that actually sticks.

    A page loads. We see the ad slot before the ad does.

How it works

The smallest study habit you'll ever keep.

01

Read like you always do

An article, a paper, a Wikipedia tangent. Whatever you're reading, however you're reading it. We don't ask you to change tools.

02

Highlight, then ⌘ + B

Select the passage you want to remember. The shortcut opens a side panel and turns the text into question-and-answer flashcards.

03

Practice in ad slots, as you browse

While you read the next article, QuizMe quietly swaps the ad slot for one of your due cards. Twelve seconds, one tap, SM-2 picks the next interval.

The mechanism

Spaced repetition is the most studied learning hack of the last fifty years. It just isn't very fun to set up.

Memory is a leaky bucket. The leak is exponential, but so is the cure: review once, then twice as long, then four times as long. By the fifth or sixth review you remember it forever.

QuizMe pairs that math with the SM-2 algorithm and a single Chrome shortcut. Your flashcards aren't a separate project. They are a byproduct of how you already read.

The product, in three places

Three surfaces.
One memory.

QuizMe lives in three places that already exist on the pages you read — a text selection, an ad slot, and a Chrome popup. Pick the one that fits your reading; the other two follow.

    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 ⌘ B to turn the highlighted passage into cards.

    The shortcut

    Highlight, then ⌘ + B.

    Whatever you’re reading, however you’re reading it. Select a passage, hit the shortcut, and a side panel slides in with three question-and-answer pairs — written from the passage you just selected, not from a generic prompt.

    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.

    While you browse

    Ad slots become micro-reviews.

    QuizMe watches the ad slots most pages already render and quietly swaps them for one of your due cards. No popups, no banners. Each card grades in twelve seconds, SM-2 picks the next interval, and the original ad element is preserved so you can dismiss the slot and put it back.

    Sizes
    300×250, 728×90, 160×600 — the IAB standard slots most networks render.
    Picks
    The picker chooses the next due card per slot, never the same card twice in a session.
    Optional
    Toggle ad replacement off in Options if you’d rather review only in the popup.

Notes from readers

Built for people who care about what they read after they read it.

“I read more than I remember. QuizMe finally turned my browser into a memory I can revisit. Three months in, my notes are alive.”
OliviaProduct 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.”
MarcusEngineering managerBerlin
“Studying for boards used to mean rebuilding my notes for the third time. With QuizMe my notes review themselves.”

Common questions

Honest answers, no bullet-point salad.

What is QuizMe?
QuizMe is a Chrome extension and study tool that turns anything you read on the web into spaced-repetition flashcards. You highlight the text, press Cmd+B, and your cards are saved. We schedule the reviews for you using the SM-2 algorithm so you remember what you read for life.
How is QuizMe different from Anki, RemNote, or Notion?
Anki and RemNote are powerful but require manual deck-building. Notion is for capture, not recall. QuizMe sits inside the page you're already reading, generates flashcards from the passage you select, and queues them for review automatically. It is the smallest study habit that compounds the most.
Is QuizMe free?
Yes, the extension and unlimited flashcard storage are free. We will introduce a paid plan in the future for advanced AI features (multi-turn explanations, audio review, exports). Anything you save during the free period stays free forever.
Do I need to sign in?
Sign in only if you want your cards to follow you across browsers and devices. Sign-in is Google only - one click. We never see your password because we don't ask for one.
What does QuizMe do with the text I save?
Your flashcards belong to you. We send the text you explicitly select to our backend (hosted on Railway, US region) only when you click 'Generate' or 'Save'. We never read pages automatically. We don't sell or share your data with anyone. See our privacy policy for details.
Does it work with PDFs and YouTube?
Cmd+B works on any web page where you can select text - articles, blog posts, documentation, and most PDF viewers (including Chrome's built-in viewer). YouTube transcripts are supported when the page exposes them. Native macOS PDF apps and standalone desktop apps are not supported because the extension lives inside Chrome.
Which browsers do you support?
QuizMe is currently a Chrome extension (Manifest V3). It also runs in Edge, Brave, Arc, and other Chromium-based browsers. Firefox and Safari support is on the roadmap.
How is spaced repetition implemented?
We use SuperMemo's SM-2 algorithm, the same proven approach used by Anki. After each review, you rate how well you remembered (0-5). The next review is scheduled based on that rating, with intervals that grow exponentially as your recall strengthens.
Does it really replace ads on the pages I visit? Won't that break sites?
QuizMe only swaps elements that look like standard ad slots (IAB sizes like 300x250, 728x90, common ad-network containers). We never touch article text, navigation, or anything else. Each replacement preserves the original element so we can put it back if you dismiss the card. If a layout would break, we leave the slot alone.
What happens on pages that have no ads?
Nothing. The detector only fires when it finds an ad-shaped element. On clean reading sites with no ad slots, QuizMe stays out of the way and you can still review through the popup or after pressing Cmd+B. Ad replacement is a bonus surface, not the only one.
