Guides for every part of Recallory — courses, review, writing, the extension, and billing. Search below or browse by topic.
Account, sign-in, and your first course.
Use your email to register, then sign in on the web or extension.
Open Create account on the homepage or go to /register. You need a working email address and a password.
After registration, sign in at /login. If you forget your password, use Forgot password on that page to receive a reset link.
Recallory is a web app. You can install it from Settings when your browser offers Add to Home Screen or Install app.
Some features stay locked until your email is verified.
If the first message did not arrive, use Resend verification email on the reminder banner. The message comes from recallory.app. Check spam, then return to Recallory so the app can pick up the confirmed address.
Courses keep each class separate. Units organize the weeks or modules inside a course.
Go to Courses in the sidebar (or the More menu on your phone). Create a course, then add units. You can seed units from a template or add them one at a time.
Use the course and unit selectors at the top of the sidebar to choose what you are working on. Flashcards, library notes, Write, and Tutor all follow that selection.
If you have no courses yet, Today and Review will prompt you to add one before study can start.
Today is the home screen for signed-in study.
Today lists how many reviews are due, how many new cards you can still introduce today, and recent activity for the selected course.
Start review opens the study session. If only new cards remain and reviews are clear, the link may include new cards automatically.
Structure, readings, notes, and sources.
Optional programs group courses. Topics can sit on a unit or on the whole course.
Most students only need courses and units. Programs are optional containers if you want several related courses together.
Topics are labels you can attach to units or leave as course-wide themes. Tags on a topic are comma-separated in Courses.
Archiving removes something from active lists without deleting your account. Use archive when a term ends and you want a cleaner Courses page.
Save PDFs, links, and text so citations stay tied to real material.
On a unit, add sources from Library or while building flashcards. Public links and uploaded files are stored with the course so drafts can cite them.
Recallory fetches readable text from public pages when it can. If a site blocks access, paste the important excerpts into a note instead.
Library is the full list of notes and sources for your account, filtered by course when one is selected.
Open Library from the sidebar. You can create notes, edit them, and archive material you no longer need.
Notes often hold unit instructions or pasted readings. Sources are separate records with URLs or files.
Due cards, ratings, and study settings.
Review opens from Today or the Review item in the bottom bar on mobile.
Open Review (/study). You see one card at a time. Reveal the answer, then rate how well you remembered it.
Card types include basic recall, fill-in (cloze), compare, apply, and explain. The label on the card tells you which type you are on.
When the queue is empty, you return to Today. You can start again later when more cards become due.
Ratings schedule the next review using FSRS, a spaced-repetition model.
Again means you missed it; that card returns soon. Hard, Good, and Easy schedule longer intervals based on how confident you were.
Preview text under the buttons shows roughly when the card will come back. These times are estimates for your study plan, not grades from your school.
Ratings can queue locally and sync when you are back online.
If a rating cannot reach the server, Recallory saves it locally and retries. You may see a short notice that reviews were saved offline.
Stay signed in and reopen the app when you have connectivity so pending ratings can upload.
Cards, drafts, and grounded questions.
You can add cards without using AI.
Open Flashcards, choose the course and unit, and add cards directly. Manual cards work on the free plan.
Edit or archive cards from the same page when you need to fix wording or retire a unit.
Study sets draft cards from unit notes and saved sources.
On Flashcards, generate a study set from the material on the selected unit. This uses your saved notes and sources, not the open web.
Study set generation requires Recallory Plus, a verified email, and counts against your hourly and daily limits. See Pricing or Settings for current caps.
Read generated cards before you rely on them for an exam. Edit anything that misstates your readings.
Drafts start from unit readings and cite sources when the text uses them.
Open Write, pick the assignment type, and work from the sources on the unit. Outside research is for when your instructions ask for it.
Draft generation requires Plus and a verified email. You remain responsible for submitting work your school accepts.
Ask questions about notes and sources on the selected unit.
Tutor answers from the library you saved for that unit. Switch course or unit in the sidebar if answers sound like the wrong class.
Tutor messages require Plus and count toward tutor limits in Settings.
Browser capture and filing highlights.
Pair the extension without giving it your password.
Settings lists connected browsers. Disconnect one immediately if you no longer use that device.
Selected text lands in Inbox until you attach it to a course.
Use the extension to save a quote from a page. Open Inbox to review captures, then file them onto the right course or discard them.
Extension capture requires Plus and counts toward capture limits.
Plans, limits, and billing in Settings.
Library and review are free; AI features need Plus.
The free plan includes courses, units, notes, sources, manual flashcards, FSRS review, export, and account deletion.
Recallory Plus is $7.99 per month and unlocks study sets, drafts, tutor, and extension capture, each with clear hourly and daily limits.
Public pricing details live on the Pricing page; live usage meters appear in Settings after you sign in.
Checkout and invoices run through Stripe inside Settings.
If checkout was canceled, you can try again anytime. Your library remains on the free plan until Plus is active.
Limits keep usage predictable and are shown in Settings.
Each Plus feature has per-hour and per-day caps (study sets, drafts, tutor, captures). Settings shows how much you have used in the current window.
When a limit is reached, wait for the window to reset or try again later the same day if the daily cap allows.
Profile, export, deletion, and privacy.
Name, timezone, theme, and FSRS preferences live in Settings.
Update your name, timezone, and light or dark theme in Settings. Study preferences include desired retention, daily new card limit, and review goal.
Changes save to your account and apply the next time you open Today or Review.
You can download a JSON export or permanently delete the account.
In Settings, Export downloads courses, notes, cards, reviews, and related records as JSON.
Delete account removes your Firebase sign-in and library data after you confirm. This cannot be undone.
Privacy and Terms on the footer explain retention and acceptable use in more detail.
Common errors and where to get help.
Usually means Plus is not active or Checkout did not finish.
Reconnect from the extension and check Plus status.
Email us when this help center does not solve it.
Write to info@recallory.app from the email on your account and describe what you tried. For billing, mention the date of charge if relevant.
The Contact page links privacy and terms if your question is about data or account suspension.
No. Courses, manual cards, and FSRS review work on the free plan. Plus is for study sets, drafts, tutor, and extension capture.
Verified email is required before AI features run. You can still review cards you already have while verification is pending. If the message is missing, resend it from the reminder banner.
Download the extension from Settings, unzip it, and load that folder from chrome://extensions with Developer mode on. Then choose Connect Recallory in the side panel and approve the connection.
Open Settings, use Subscribe or Manage billing in the Billing section, and complete changes in Stripe.
Yes. Settings includes Export, which downloads your library as JSON. You can delete the account from the same area.
