The problem
Studying is a scheduling problem
You don't fail because you didn't work. You fail because the work landed on the wrong days.
The forgetting curve wins
You master a chapter today, and in ten days most of it is gone — unless you review at the right moments. Nobody can track those moments by hand across 40 topics.
The replanning spiral
One heavy week, one missed day, and the beautiful plan collapses. You spend Sunday rebuilding it instead of studying. Again.
Guilt instead of feedback
Classic planners shame you with red overdue lists. What you actually need is a plan that bends around reality — and tells you the truth about what fits.
The method
The method, minus the spreadsheet
Three mechanisms working together. You study — the engine does the arithmetic.
Spaced repetition on topics
Every topic you add gets a review sequence at expanding intervals. First study today, then quick reviews as the material starts to fade.

Capacity-aware planning
Your daily budget = available hours minus classes, events, internships and shifts. Reviews are packed into what's truly free — overflow cascades forward, and you get an honest “this won't fit” before it's too late.
Build your study schedule from your free hoursThe Debrief
Each evening, tick what you did, say how confident you felt — good, so-so, shaky — and how long you want next time. A shaky topic gets an extra pass before its next review; the rest silently rebuilds tomorrow. No guilt — feedback.
Behind on reviews? How to catch upFeatures
Built for how studying actually goes
Battle-tested mechanics, none of the busywork.
Never lose progress
Change your pace, move reviews, take a break: your history stays intact. Progress is pure calendar math — nothing to migrate, nothing to redo.
90-day capacity projection
See three months ahead, computed from your real availability. Soft daily caps, overflow that cascades forward, honest warnings.
A calendar that tells the truth
Day, week and month views with an hour grid. Sessions split around breaks and pick up after — tap to edit, drag to move.
Exam sprint & final review
As a deadline approaches, intervals compress. Final-review mode — on iPhone and iPad — runs full passes of your program, with guardrails that warn, never block.
Real-life constraints
Internships with travel time, multi-day on-call shifts, holidays, off days, weekly recurring classes. The plan bends around your life, not the opposite.
Split & start when ready
Cut a topic into named parts. Start one today, keep the rest for next month — each part runs its own repetition cycle.
Debrief
Tick what you did, say how it felt, set the length of the next pass. Shaky on a topic? An intermediate review is proposed before the next one — and the focus timer keeps learning your real pace.

FAQ
Questions, answered
The honest version — no growth-hack fluff.
What is spaced repetition?
Reviewing something right before you'd forget it — at expanding intervals — is one of the most robust findings in learning science: you revisit the material as it starts to fade, instead of re-reading everything the week before. Paced schedules those reviews automatically, for every topic you add. On the Standard pace that runs D+1, D+3, D+7, D+15, D+30 and on: the fourth review falls on day 15. A lighter and a more intense pace ship too, and you can set your own intervals.
How is this different from Anki or a to-do app?
Anki spaces flashcards; a to-do app holds a list. Paced spaces whole topics and chapters, then fits every review into your real week with a capacity engine that knows your classes, internships, shifts and days off. It plans your actual days — and tells you honestly when a plan won't fit.
Will it work for my field of study?
Yes. The engine is content-agnostic: you create your own subjects and topics — medicine, law, engineering, high school, university, a professional certification, or self-study. You name your own subjects and topics, choose your own pace and intervals, and grade each assessment on whatever scale you use (20, 100, 4.0…). Nothing to adapt: the engine never assumed a syllabus in the first place.
What happens when I miss a day?
Nothing breaks and nothing guilt-trips you. Overdue reviews are re-prioritized and rescheduled around your available time. Your history is never lost — progress is pure calendar math, so changing pace or taking a break never resets anything.
How does it learn my pace?
Two ways. The Focus timer measures how long a session really takes, and a smoothed pace factor recalibrates future estimates from those measurements — most students discover a chapter takes noticeably longer than they had planned for. And in the Debrief you say how confident you felt on each topic and how long you want next time: shaky topics get an extra pass before their next review, and your durations are set by you, not guessed.
Where can I get it?
Paced, the study planner app and spaced repetition planner, is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and the web app runs in any browser — one account, always in sync. On Android there is no Play Store app: open pacedstudy.com in Chrome and add it to your home screen, and the web app opens like an app, with its own icon. Start on any of them.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, on the web. The free plan gives you your daily reviews, the Debrief and the Day view, up to 8 active topics at a time, your schedule 7 days ahead and 14 days back, 1 exam and 1 catch-up sheet a day. No card, no trial clock, no ads. The free plan is on the web; the iPhone and iPad app needs a Plus subscription. Plus removes the cap and opens the Week and Month views, the timetable, grades, the focus timer and unlimited exams and catch-ups. Go Plus whenever a limit gets in your way — your data stays exactly where it is.
Who built this?
