Meiosis produces haploid gametes (n) with genetic variation through crossing over, enabling sexual reproduction and genetic diversity in offspring.

Features
The notebook that
teaches itself back to you.
Most note apps are just archives. Index actively works against forgetting — every card you create is scheduled to reappear at the exact moment you need a reminder.
Markdown Notes
Full CommonMark support — headings, bold, italic, code blocks, links, tables. Write naturally, render beautifully.
Basic Flashcards
Create front/back cards directly from your notes. Keyboard shortcuts to make card creation frictionless.
Cloze Deletion
Wrap any word in {{double brackets}} to create fill-in-the-blank cards. Perfect for vocabulary and formulas.
SM-2 Algorithm
Scientifically proven spaced repetition. Cards resurface based on your exact recall strength — not a fixed schedule.
Keyboard Review
Never touch the mouse during review. Spacebar to flip, 1-4 to rate. Pure keyboard flow.
Card Browser
Search, filter, and bulk-edit cards by deck, tag, or due date. Full visibility into your card collection.
Notebooks
Organise notes and cards into notebooks per subject. Keep biology separate from history, code from language.
