The Mnemosyne Project has two aspects:
* It's a free flash-card tool which optimizes your learning process.
* It's a research project into the nature of long-term memory.
We strive to provide a clear, uncluttered piece of software, easy to use
and to understand for newbies, but still infinitely customisable through
plugins and scripts for power users.
## Efficient learning
Mnemosyne uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for
a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget
quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your
time on things you remember well.
## Memory research
If you want, anonymous statistics on your learning process can be
uploaded to a central server for analysis. This data will be valuable to
study the behaviour of our memory over a very long time period. The
results will be used to improve the scheduling algorithms behind the
software even further.
