Our Learning Philosophy

We believe learning doesn’t have to be a constant struggle to keep up or remember. That’s why our app is built on two powerful, time-tested methods: spaced repetition and the Leitner system.

What is spaced repetition?

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that helps you retain information by reviewing it at scientifically calculated intervals. Instead of cramming everything at once (and forgetting it the next day), you revisit material just as you’re about to forget it. This method strengthens memory over time and ensures you learn what actually sticks.

What is the Leitner method?

The Leitner method is when you focus more on the material you struggle with and less on what you’ve already mastered. By sorting flashcards into groups based on how well you know them, the Leitner method makes studying efficient and personalized.

How does nonki integrate these two learning methods?

Nonki combines spaced repetition and the Leitner method into a seamless, customizable system. When you use Nonki, the app automatically spaces out your reviews at the perfect intervals while also highlighting areas that need extra attention. You get the benefits of both methods without the hassle of managing the process yourself.

nonki helps you learn on your own terms

We know everyone learns differently. That’s why Nonki is designed to adapt to you.

Want to adjust review intervals? Done. Need to tweak flashcards for a specific topic? Easy. Whether you’re tackling a new language, prepping for exams, or mastering a hobby, Nonki gives you the tools to make learning simple, effective, and your own.

Smart, science-backed, and built around you—that’s our learning philosophy.
