SPEEM grew up.

One app for every kind of learning, with a real retention loop.

01 · Today

Open the app. Mark today. Move on.

Your daily ritual is one tap. Calcifer reflects how you're doing, the streak counts the days you showed up, and the month grid turns into a constellation of small wins. The smallest commitment that compounds.

Open the app. Mark today. Move on.

02 · Focus Sessions

Sit down. Start a timer. Get the deep work done.

A clean focus screen with nothing to swipe to. The timer is honest about how long you've actually been studying, and Calcifer keeps you company while you work. When you're done, you say so — no autoplay, no nags.

Sit down. Start a timer. Get the deep work done.

03 · One builder for every mission

Big goal, pinned to a date, broken into small quests.

Exam, book, skill, project, or course — pick the shape and SPEEM tunes the plan. Each mission becomes a handful of timed quests you can actually finish today, with progress that adds up before the deadline arrives.

04 · The Four Principles

The learning science, surfaced as your own stats.

Retrieval, spacing, interleaving, elaboration — the four moves with the strongest evidence in cognitive science. SPEEM turns each one into a live number you can watch climb, so you stop guessing what's working and start seeing it.

05 · Retention Loop

Knowledge that lasts, not knowledge that fades.

Save what you want to remember as a question and answer. SPEEM schedules it on the curve your memory actually needs, surfaces what's due now, and shows you a real retention percentage per card. Spaced retrieval, on autopilot.

Knowledge that lasts, not knowledge that fades.

06 · Widgets

Your effort on your home screen.

Drop the month heat-map, the week of rings, or today's single ring straight onto your home or lock screen. The gentle accountability of seeing your streak every time you check the time, no app to open.

Your effort on your home screen.
