unlocked

the colours show you where a word lives in your memory.

mazwi tracks every word and brings it back exactly when your brain needs a reminder — not before, not too late.

forgot needs more work — coming back soon

learning you've seen it — back today or tomorrow

well known you know it — spacing out to days

mastered deep in memory — see you in weeks

after each card, the number is how long until you see it again.

tap good if you got it with normal effort — that's right most of the time.

how mazwi works

the colours tell you where a word lives in your memory.

mazwi tracks every word you study and uses a memory science system to decide when you need to see it again. the colour of a word tells you exactly how well your brain has stored it.

the four states

forgot

you pressed again, or it slipped your mind

this word needs more work. mazwi brings it back sooner so you get more chances to practise before it fades.

learning

you've seen it but it's not stable yet

you're building the memory. mazwi shows it again later today or tomorrow to help it stick.

well known

you know it — time to confirm

your brain has this word but needs a check-in. once you confirm it, mazwi schedules it further into the future.

mastered

deep in your long-term memory

you won't see it for weeks or months. when it comes back, one quick confirmation keeps it there even longer.

when you rate a word

the four buttons after you reveal a card

after you see the answer, tell mazwi honestly how it felt. there's no wrong answer — the more truthful you are, the better mazwi schedules your next practice.

the number on each button is how long until you see that word again. tap good if you got it with normal effort — right most of the time. easy only if it felt instant. hard if you got it but it was a struggle.

why the gaps get longer over time

your brain strengthens a memory each time you recall it just before it would have faded. mazwi times your practice to hit that exact window — so you only see a word when it actually needs attention. that's why gaps between reviews grow the better you know a word.
