From notes to questions
Paste a summary, add optional notes, or name a book or article. Memorize builds a quiz that mirrors what you actually studied.
Active recall, powered by AI
Practice testing is widely supported as an effective learning strategy. Short, focused questions help you retrieve ideas instead of skimming them.
Built for real study workflows
Great for books, courses, articles, study notes, and teaching prep—whenever you want durable memory, not a one-time highlight.
Clear feedback, fast cycles
See explanations right after each answer, track your score, and revisit past attempts to spot what still needs reinforcement.
Local-first history
Quizzes and scores are stored in your local database. In this no-auth setup, everyone using the same instance shares one guest profile.
Why quizzes help you remember
Practice testing is widely supported as an effective learning strategy. When you pull information out of memory—rather than recognizing it in a paragraph—you strengthen the pathways you will need later. Memorize is built around that idea: short, targeted questions with immediate feedback so you can correct mistakes early and reinforce accurate recall.
- Retrieval over recognition
Questions push you to produce answers, not just nod along while rereading. - Feedback that teaches
Brief explanations connect each choice back to the underlying idea—useful for books, courses, and dense articles alike.
Frequently asked questions
What is retrieval practice?+
Retrieval practice means actively recalling information—like answering questions—rather than only re-reading. Research on retrieval practice shows that actively recalling information improves long-term retention better than passive re-reading alone.
Is this a replacement for reading?+
No. Memorize is a complement: it helps you consolidate what you already engaged with by prompting recall in a structured way.
How many questions should I generate?+
Start with 10 for a quick check, or 20–30 for a deeper pass. Longer sets are useful when you have rich notes and want broader coverage.
Do I need an OpenAI API key?+
For real AI-generated quizzes, yes—configure it in your environment. Without a key, the app uses a built-in sample quiz so you can still test the full flow locally.
