A calmer study rhythm

Study without watching the clock.

RecallMode privately schedules your next break inside a range you choose. When the cue arrives, finish the current thought, take a short quiet break, then optionally recall what you just learned.

Stay with the material

Your next break stays hidden.

Keep studying normally. RecallMode will let you know when rest is due.

The RecallMode flow

A cue, not an interruption.

The break tone means “finish at the next logical point,” not “stop immediately.” You stay in control of when the break actually begins.

01

Study

A randomized interval is scheduled privately. No visible countdown.

02

Break due

A gentle cue tells you rest is due without forcing an abrupt stop.

03

Logical stop

Finish the sentence, question, problem, or idea you are working on.

04

Quiet rest

Take a short break. Silence is the recommended break environment.

05

Recall

Optionally retrieve the main ideas before beginning the next interval.

Hidden timing

Less clock-watching

The study countdown stays out of sight. The launch default is a randomized 20–30 minute study interval.

Intentional rest

Quiet by default

Breaks launch at 3–5 minutes by default, with quiet rest recommended rather than more stimulation.

Active recall

A quick self-check

After a break, an optional prompt asks how clearly you can retrieve the main ideas without looking back.

Optional focus audio

Silence first. Sound when you want it.

RecallMode works without audio beyond the short cues. Optional focus sound is bundled locally inside the extension.

Local-first by design

Evidence-informed, careful claims

Built around stronger learning principles—not frequency hype.

RecallMode draws on research around distributed practice, wakeful rest, and retrieval practice. Randomized timing is an experimental product hypothesis; RecallMode does not claim that random intervals are scientifically proven to outperform fixed schedules.
