What are its chief features?

Enjoy the convenience of AI-generated spaced-repetition flashcards that are deep-linked to the precise location in the source learning content in files, webpages, videos, and Kindle books.
SmarterHumans’ links are bidirectional backlinks, meaning that flashcards are linked to sources, and sources are linked to their flashcards.
SmarterHumans is also a note-taking app. You can create highly granular multi-directional backlinks just the way our brain works. Other apps allow you to link one note to another note. Some apps even allow users to link a block of text in one note to a block in another note. SmarterHumans enables note-to-note links. But we also enable links to a text, as small as a single word, to text in many other notes, and these connections are automatically backlinked. That’s what we mean by granular multi-directional backlinks. This is precisely how human memory works.
Automated focus check-ins will randomly ensure that you aren’t reading mindlessly.
We’ve included a nifty Pomodoro timer.
We offer metacognition hints periodically and randomly as you read. They’re training wheels for taking your metacognition and critical thinking to levels present in Smarter Humans.
Our metacognition and focus check-ins are gamified and can reward you with free extra days in your subscription!
Use our webclipper browser extension to create flashcards linked to selected text and screenshot regions of interest on web pages. You can watch videos on YouTube, Coursera, and Udemy and create flashcards linked to the time code where you learned that ditty. The extension also enables you to create flashcards linked to your Kindle highlights.
Exam mode– so you can ensure you’ll be ready to ace every test.
Create a group in SmarterHumans and gang-tackle any subject with friends, classmates, or colleagues. Group members can share flashcards with working deep links and library content depending on the owner's settings.
Our AI can also generate metaphors to help you wrap your head around complex concepts and help make you smarter.
