The everyday problemPlenty to study.
Plenty to study.

Give review a place in your day.
Open your due queue, attempt the answer and rate your recall. Paivio handles the spacing schedule.
See the ideas around a card.
Explore relationships in your concept map. When the format your account is assigned uses the graph, on your own decks it orders reviews by prerequisite links within the due cards. It never adds a card or changes a due date.

A few useful answers.
Can I bring my Anki decks?
Yes. Paivio supports .apkg imports, including review history. Import your deck to continue working with your own material.
What does it cost?
Paivio is free during beta, with no credit card needed. There is no paid plan to choose during beta.
How does Paivio build on spaced repetition?
FSRS provides the scheduling foundation. Paivio adds its own concept-mapping, review-ordering and retrieval systems around the material you study.
Will every account see the same study features?
Study mechanisms depend on the fixed format assigned to the account. Review timing, ratings and due dates are the same across the comparison formats.
Can I trust every AI-generated card?
AI can make mistakes. Check generated questions and answers against your own course materials and edit them when needed.
