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.

071530DAYS, TO SCALEMEMORY
Schematic · not measured data · no review at all
  1. 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.

  2. The replanning spiral

    One heavy week, one missed day, and the beautiful plan collapses. You spend Sunday rebuilding it instead of studying. Again.

  3. 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.

MECHANISM 1

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.

each review shorter than the last, down to a short maintenance pass

MECHANISM 2

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 hours
MECHANISM 3

The 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.

Features

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.

  • Yours, everywhere

    One account, iOS and web always in sync. Private by design — your planning data is yours.

Who it's for

One engine. Every field of study.

The Paced study planner starts from your own subjects and topics: you choose your own pace and intervals, and grade every assessment on whatever scale you use (20, 100, 4.0…); no rigid syllabus, no country lock-in.

Origin

  • 9 passes on the Standard pace
  • Day 0 → Day 240
  • up to 12 passes with your own intervals
  • 90-day capacity projection

Forged in the hardest arena

Paced is built on the engine behind MyÆDN and MyP1 — planners made for France's most competitive medical exams, where a year of content meets a single ranking day. Same engine. Rebuilt in English, for every student.

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.

Anki and Paced, side by side

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 to catch up on a backlog of reviews

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?

Paced is built on the engine behind MyÆDN and MyP1 — planners forged for France's most competitive medical exams, where a year of content meets a single ranking day. Same engine, rebuilt in English for every student. Same publisher, separate apps: pacedstudy.fr presents MyP1 and MyÆDN, two French apps for medical school built on the same engine. Paced, at pacedstudy.com, is the English app for any field of study. Other products called "Paced" (paced.com, paced.app, getpaced.app, pacedplanner.com) are not related to us.
