Wall of love
Readers, remembering.
4.8/5from 12 readers
“I read more than I remember — that was the whole problem. Three months in, my notes finally feel alive instead of just bookmarked and forgotten.”
“Tried Anki, Notion, RemNote — none stuck. The Cmd+I shortcut is the first thing that's survived past a week. Knocked off a star because I wish the mobile review existed yet.”
“I stopped unsuspending someone else's 30,000-card deck. My cards come from what I actually read on the wards. Didn't expect to still be using it past week two, honestly.”
“I wanted a way to remember the papers I was reading instead of pretending I had. Smallest, sharpest study habit I've built in years — and I've built a lot of bad ones.”
“I spent ten years collecting notes. With QuizMe I'm finally collecting memories.”
“The reviews don't feel like studying. They feel like bumping into an old friend on the train. That sounds cheesy writing it out but it's true.”
“Cold-calls used to terrify me. Now the case I read on Tuesday is still there on Friday. Took a star off because the extension occasionally doesn't fire on some PDF viewers.”
“Docs used to evaporate overnight. I'd re-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.”
“I highlight three sentences a day. That's the whole habit. Eighty days and counting — longest I've kept anything like this.”
“Recommended it to my sixth-formers, then caught myself using it more than they do. Slightly embarrassing.”
“The ad-slot thing sounded like a gimmick. It's quietly the best part — the page quizzes me back instead of selling me socks. Wish there was a dark mode for the cards though.”
“Reading on the internet finally has an afterlife. That's it. That's the review.”

How it works
The smallest study habit you'll ever keep.
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.

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.

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.

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.

4 grades · SM-2QuizMe 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 50 cards, saved locally on your device with on-device AI. Unlimited cards via our cloud AI is $9.99/month via Stripe. Cancel anytime; your cards stay exportable.
- What's the difference between local and cloud cards?
- Local cards are generated on your device (Gemini Nano) and stored in the extension — free, up to 50. Cloud cards are generated by our server, synced across devices, and unlimited with a subscription.
- 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 on a paid plan. Free-tier generation runs entirely on your device. 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.
