Spaced repetition
Reviewing at increasing intervals moves knowledge into long-term memory.
Cultivate your knowledge
Don't just note it.
Know it.
PulseNote turns what you write into knowledge you keep. From tomorrow's exam to ideas from books, podcasts and life — it all comes back as pulses: quick knowledge checks, until you really know it.
Small pulses. Lasting knowledge.
Free during the beta · works offline · no account required
You learn constantly — classes, books, podcasts, conversations — and keep almost none of it. Learning was never the problem. Nothing brings it back.
Keeping what you learn isn't the opposite of growing. It's what makes growth real.
How it works
-
Write a note
A concept, a formula, a definition — with images and topic tags if you like.
-
Get pulsed
Through the day, inside hours you choose, your notes come back to you as notifications.
-
Check your knowledge
The note stays hidden behind its title until you rate how strongly it came back.
-
The training adapts
Every check decides when a concept returns: Clear or Instant and the gap grows. Gone or Faint starts it over tomorrow.
Five honest answers — each one reshapes when that concept returns.
Training that fits your day
Pulses are scheduled on your device — no push server, so they fire even offline. You decide the shape:
- Your window — pulses only land between the hours you set.
- Your pace — from 1 to 50 pulses a day, with one-tap presets.
- Your days — weekends off is a single switch.
- Priority mode — weaker notes come back more often.
- Topic filters — pulse only the subjects you're studying now.
- Pause — one toggle, nothing lost.
Why it works
Reading collects information. Training turns it into knowledge — the difference between recognizing a page and owning a concept. Knowledge that sticks, compounds.
Microlearning
Short, frequent reviews are more effective than long study sessions.
PulseNote's engine is a variant of SM-2, the classic spaced-repetition algorithm — intervals grow from a day to months as a note proves it sticks.
Built around one idea: knowing beats rereading
Rate before reveal
Notes stay hidden until you rate their pulse strength — try to bring it back first, then read. Knowing, not rereading. It's a toggle if you prefer it off.
Vitals
Your knowledge's fitness dashboard: streak, strength stages from New to Mastered, the "Needs a pulse check" list, and every note ranked by pulse strength — weakest first.
Topics & images
Tag notes by subject and attach up to five photos — diagrams, whiteboards, textbook pages.
Share by link
Any note can become a clean read-only page. Friends open it in PulseNote and import it into their own library. Links expire after 30 days.
Offline-first
Everything works with no account and no connection. Add a free account when you want backup, restore, and a second device.
Easy on the eyes
A full dark theme, and the whole app in English and Portuguese.
From noted to known
Not a reminder app. Not a second brain. Not a cram tool. PulseNote is for knowing.
Private by design
Notes live on your device first — an account is optional. No ads, no trackers. Deleting your account really deletes everything: server, storage, device. Read the privacy policy.
Cultivate your knowledge.
For students — and for anyone who wants to know more.
