Turn a study guide into cards.
Send a chapter to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and ask for the key terms. Each one lands in your deck with the guide’s definition, ready for tonight’s review.
Ten minutes between meetings.
One card at a time, graded in a tap, on your phone or your laptop, even offline. The terms you know wait longer, and the ones you miss come back sooner.

RTO
Reveal the meaning, then grade the recall.
Review less, remember longer.
Remember a card, and Lymi waits longer before showing it again. Forget it, and it comes back soon.
- Reviewed with Lymi
- Learned once, never revisited
Recall
Recalling beats rereading
Lymi asks before it shows the answer. Trying to remember something makes it stick better than reading it again, as Roediger and Karpicke found in 2006.
Spacing
Longer gaps, longer memory
Spreading reviews out helps you remember for longer. In 2013, Dunlosky and colleagues rated testing yourself and spacing out practice as highly effective.
Questions before you start.
- Is there a ready-made deck for my certification?
Not for most certifications yet. Your assistant can turn your study guide into a deck in a few minutes, and a deck from Anki or Mochi imports with its review history.
- Who can see the cards I make?
Only you, unless you share the deck. Cards made from your study material stay in your account.
- Does the AI write my cards?
Only when you ask your assistant to. Anything it writes on a card is marked AI, so you can always tell it from your own notes.
- Can I review offline?
Yes. Open Lymi once while you’re online, and after that you can review without a connection. Your answers are sent when you’re back online.
- Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Lymi runs in the browser on your phone and your computer, and you can add it to your home screen. Your cards and progress are the same on both.
- What does it cost?
Nothing. Lymi is free to use.
