What comes across
- Cards keep the due dates they had in Anki.
- 410 cards bring their pictures.
Turn tonight’s lecture into cards.
Send your lecture notes or slides to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and it adds the cards, each with what the lecture said. When Lymi’s AI fills in a meaning, it marks what it wrote, so it’s never mistaken for your notes.
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.
Mark what’s high-yield.
Mark a card important and it comes up four times as often, while its schedule stays the same. The cards you keep forgetting gather in Often forgotten, a round of their own.
digoxin
Narrow therapeutic range; check levels and potassium
anion gap
Na⁺ − (Cl⁻ + HCO₃⁻); raised in some metabolic acidoses
ulnar nerve
Injured at the elbow; weak grip and numb little finger
Questions from medical students.
- Can I bring my Anki decks?
Yes. An Anki package imports with its cards, tags, pictures and review history, so your schedule carries on where it stopped.
Moving from Anki- Can a card have a picture?
Yes. A card can hold one picture, such as a diagram or a slide, and a review can ask from the picture instead of the words.
- 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.
