    Day complete 🎉

    That's today done. Tomorrow's plan is already waiting.

Each word comes back just before you'd forget it.

Sogda schedules every word with FSRS, a modern spaced-repetition method. Each time you remember a word, the wait before it comes back grows: a day, then three, then eight, then three weeks. Your minutes go to the words you're about to forget.
