Retrieval practice works. Loneliness doesn’t. So we rebuilt the flashcard around other people — and honesty.
A deck of two hundred cards, a counter that only goes up, and nobody who knows you showed up today. The science only works if the app gets opened — and that’s a design problem, not a science problem.
A flashcard should feel like a note passed across a classroom, not a chore left on a fridge.Why we built Flick & Feed
Three real cards, the exact mechanic your child gets. Answer in your head before you flip — that’s the part that does the remembering.
38 decks across the KS3 map — each one built by the professor who teaches the subject, and each card checked before it went in. No account, no card, no daily limit. Your progress is kept on this device only — nothing is scheduled, and nothing comes back on its own, until your child has a sky of their own.
Pick a subject
Anki and Quizlet decks are flat piles. Here, each card carries its address in the curriculum — the topic before it, its own, and the one it unlocks. Pick a card:
Maths▸Number▸Dividing by a fraction▸Year 8
Positional, never a mastery claim — the map shows where a card lives, not what your child has “mastered”.
And when a card has your child stuck, it isn’t a dead end:
Study with Professor Pi →In the real product this exact button sits on every card and opens a live chat with the professor about that card. Here it opens our free demo tutor — no account needed.
See a fact again just before you’d forget it: right answers grow the gap, tricky ones shrink it. Every button shows its real date before you press — so “Tricky” is never a punishment, just a shorter gap. That’s why kids stop lying to it.

cards published under this sky so far — each one checked by a professor before it went live.
Students browse cards written by other UK students on the same KS3 map, checked by a professor, and free to adopt. The topic you’re stuck on tonight is one someone else turned into a card last week.
“Which subatomic particle decides what element an atom is?”
Amelia · Year 8 · with Professor Curie
“If a recipe uses flour and butter in the ratio 3 : 2, what does the 3 mean?”
Sam · Year 7 · with Professor Pi
“Which organelle releases energy from glucose?”
Priya · Year 9 · with Professor Darwin
Example cards for illustration. Real bylines are safe by design: first name, year band, professor. Never a surname, school, or photo.
Today the Shared Sky shares one card at a time. Next: a student picks a topic, bundles their best cards into a named pack, and classmates adopt the whole set in one tap.
Honesty note: everything else on this page is live today. This section is roadmap.
Find out how your child actually learns — a short quiz, a card they can share, and a report that explains what to do differently. No account needed.

Your child sees a card again just before they’d forget it. Grade “Got it” and the gap grows (a day, then six days, then weeks); grade “Tricky” and it shrinks to tomorrow. Unlike most apps, every button shows its real return date before it’s pressed — the schedule is never a black box.
The memory science is the same family — spaced repetition works and we use it. What Anki doesn’t have: cards pinned to the KS3 curriculum map with a visible prerequisite chain, professor-checked content, the Shared Sky community, a “Study with the professor” hand-off on every card, and intervals shown honestly up front instead of hidden in an algorithm.
It’s the shared layer where students publish finished cards for others to browse and adopt. Every published card passes professor review first, and bylines are limited by design to a first name, a year band and the professor it was made with — no surnames, schools, photos, or messaging of any kind.
Honestly: three finished canonical decks — Maths (Fractions, with Professor Pi), Chemistry (Particles and states of matter, with Professor Curie) and Biology (Cells and organisation, with Professor Darwin). The system is built for every KS3 subject; new decks join as they pass professor review.
Yes — writing a card is part of tutoring, and it’s one of the best-evidenced ways to learn. Cards your child makes join their own review orbit, and they can choose to publish their best ones to the Shared Sky. Named, themed revision packs are next on the roadmap (see above — not live yet).
Flashcards are part of the AI Tutors subscription, not a separate purchase. Cards come out of tutoring sessions with the professors, reviews feed back into what the tutor works on next, and any card can hand your child straight into a chat with its professor — it’s the same curriculum map end to end.
Each serial tag is the card’s address on the KS3 map — not a random ID.
★ KS3-MATH-NUM-0010Pi, Curie and Darwin write and check every published card — the hint teaches the method, “the why” builds understanding.
Three finished decks today: Maths, Chemistry, Biology. The system carries every KS3 subject as decks pass review.
