About SuperMemo
SuperMemo is desktop learning software built around spaced repetition, the method of reviewing material at increasing intervals so it stays in memory. It also supports incremental learning, where you work through articles and other material in small pieces over time.
The current version, SuperMemo 19 for Windows, is sold through the SuperMemo store, which also offers the Advanced English course. A manual, a knowledge base and a Discord community are available for support.
