NotchWise surfaces your Anki flashcards in the MacBook notch while you study. Each review takes 5 seconds. You never open Anki.
You open Anki. You see 400 due cards. You close Anki. You tell yourself you'll catch up tomorrow. Tomorrow it's 460.
Meanwhile, you're doing UWorld blocks for four hours, watching Pathoma, annotating First Aid. You're studying constantly, just not the one thing that actually locks knowledge into long-term memory.
The problem was never spaced repetition. It was the friction of sitting down to do it.
No new habits to build. No app to keep open. It just happens.
AnKing, Zanki, Lightyear, Pepper, any .apkg file. Drag it in and you're done.
Do your UWorld blocks, watch Pathoma, review First Aid. NotchWise waits in the notch.
Hover the notch. Read. Flip. Rate. Back to work. It becomes automatic.
Every feature designed around how medical students actually study.
The same modern algorithm powering Anki's latest update. Better retention modelling, fewer wasted reviews. SM-2 also available.
Import any .apkg file: AnKing, Zanki, Lightyear, Pepper, Lolnotacop. Cloze deletions and image occlusion cards render correctly.
Studying renal pathology in UWorld? NotchWise can surface your renal cards. Cards match what you're actively learning.
Auto-hides during screen sharing, video calls, and Focus modes. Nobody in your study group sees your flashcards.
Space to flip, 1-4 to rate, S to skip, Z to snooze. Review without touching the trackpad. Bluetooth remotes supported.
Retention rates, review counts, streak tracking, and due forecasts. See exactly where you stand before your exam.
It just happens, woven into your existing routine.
You're watching a Pathoma video on nephrotic syndrome. Between sections, the notch nudges you. You hover, see a renal pharm card, flip it, rate Good. Three seconds, back to Pathoma. This happens six more times before the video ends. Seven reviews you never had to plan.
You're halfway through a 40-question block. Between questions, while the explanation loads, the notch expands. A micro-anatomy card. You knew it, so you tap Easy. Another one on drug interactions. Took you a moment, so you tap Good. Twenty reviews happen in the gaps between questions. You barely noticed.
You're adding UWorld notes to First Aid. The notch catches you between pages. A few more cards go by. When you finally close your laptop, NotchWise tells you: 87 cards reviewed today, retention at 91%. You never once opened Anki.
"You never sat down to 'do Anki.' It just happened."
