Notes｜Capture the material
Record explanations, diagrams, examples, and your own thinking with handwriting or text.
Summary｜Explain it in your words
Condense the page so you can see what you understand and where your knowledge is still unclear.
Recall｜Hide, retrieve, and check
Cover the Notes, answer from the Cue, then reveal the material and find what you missed.
BUILT FOR RECALL
Every Cue stays with the Notes it belongs to
Instead of forcing your learning into a fixed page, Recall Notes lets you divide the page around the content. Even in a long lecture, each Cue remains beside the exact Notes you want to review.
- Add or split sections by topic
- Adjust Cue and Notes width and height
- Share finished notes as images or PDFs
