Guided visual tour
A captioned, auto-advancing tour. Narration is optional.
Hear how it works
A plain-language explanation of the features, listening choices, and study process.
Research-informed design
Hear why RecallHack uses retrieval, spacing, feedback, smaller steps, and visible structure.
The short version
RecallHack proposes an editable roadmap. You approve dates before they affect the plan.
Slides, readings, notes, assignments, and permitted lecture recordings stay organized by class.
Start with the big picture, MUST KNOW concepts, and source links.
Keep the study map visible if it helps.
Hear the complete source, a Learning Summary, or a Study Review. Resume where you stopped and use listening study controls when something matters.
Answer from memory, check against the source, and rate how difficult recall felt.
RecallHack schedules review and uses upcoming exams, quizzes, and assignments to help prioritize Today.
RecallHack Coach
Break the task down to the smallest useful action.
Reorient to the topic and where the current idea fits.
Change the representation without changing the source.
Use progress, reviews due, and the roadmap to choose a useful next action.
Using a textbook or book?
Upload the book once, choose the chapter/pages you were assigned, then use Study this reading. For literature, set I’ve read through… first so RecallHack can avoid spoilers.
Add what you’re studying
RecallHack keeps page, slide, and transcript references so you can check where study material came from.
Upload once. Study the part you were assigned.
RecallHack keeps the whole book as a source, but builds study sessions from the chapter, section, or pages you choose.
Use the book once. Study only what was assigned.
Book
Choose what you need to read
Use an exact PDF page range instead
Chapters & sections
Detected structure is a navigation aid. For PDFs without reliable chapter headings, RecallHack creates stable reading ranges instead.
Your assigned reading
Keep the class schedule current
The syllabus creates the starting roadmap. Edit dates anytime when the professor changes an exam, lecture, reading, or assignment.
Hear the source or the learning points
Choose the complete source, a learning-focused summary, or an active Study Review. Your listening position is saved.
Study a textbook, novel, play, or assigned book
Upload the book once, choose only what you were assigned, and let RecallHack build study work from that scope.
1. Upload the book
Choose Book / textbook when adding material. RecallHack supports searchable PDF, DOCX, TXT/MD, and DRM-free EPUB.
2. Choose the assignment
Select the chapter/section range or exact PDF pages. Add a due date if you want Today to prioritize it.
3. Study the assigned part
Study this reading creates a normal RecallHack study session using only those chapters/pages.
4. Ask the material
Use Ask This Reading, Ask This Chapter / Section, Ask This Book, or Ask This Class. Answers retain clickable source citations.
Literature: spoiler protection
Set I’ve read through…. RecallHack will not use later chapters when answering book questions.
What RecallHack does not do
RecallHack does not bypass DRM and does not yet OCR image-only scans. Use an authorized searchable file.
RecallHack features
The app handles the organization around studying so the student can concentrate on understanding and remembering the material.
Books & Assigned Reading
Upload textbooks, academic nonfiction, novels, plays, and assigned books. Choose the chapter, section, or PDF pages you actually need; then study or ask that exact reading with source citations and literature spoiler protection.
Course Roadmap
Syllabus-driven, editable schedule for exams, quizzes, lectures, readings, and assignments.
Source Uploads
PDF, PowerPoint, Word, text, and permitted lecture recordings stay organized by class and source.
Books & Assigned Reading
Index searchable PDF, Word/text, or DRM-free EPUB books once, then study the assigned chapter, section, or PDF pages with literature spoiler protection.
Big Picture
Start with what the material is fundamentally about before getting buried in detail.
Learn
Work through one source-linked concept at a time with the study map available for orientation.
Retrieve
Answer from memory, check against the source, and use confidence/difficulty to support later review.
Teach Back
Explain the idea in your own words instead of relying on recognition or rereading.
Full Source Listening
Hear a document or lecture transcript in order, change speed, jump sections, and resume where you stopped.
Learning Summary
Hear the big picture, MUST KNOW points, important details, connections, examples, and final recap.
Listening Study Controls
Replay, mark important, ask for an explanation, and save a source section to the review list.
Audio Review
Quick, Full, or Exam Review with source links and retrieval pauses.
Exam Prep
Use upcoming assessment dates plus saved progress to focus effort where it matters most.
RecallHack Coach
Get one next step, restore the big picture, ask for another explanation, or start a quiz.
Progress
See what is holding steady, still building, and due for another review.
How to Use
Watch, listen, or skim the process; the guided tour is available again anytime.
Research & Evidence
See which learning strategies inform RecallHack and what has—and has not—been validated.
Listen to what matters — then retrieve it
Audio is a review tool, not passive background listening. The script stays visible so you can reorient if your attention drifts.
Audio Review
Ask your own course material
Ask one source, one class, or everything you have saved. RecallHack cites the material it used and tells you when your sources do not support an answer.
Outside explanation is always shown separately and is never presented as if it came from your uploaded source.
Saved Ask questions for review
Research-informed — not yet validated as a product
Important: RecallHack itself has not yet been shown in a controlled study to improve grades, retention, ADHD symptoms, or executive functioning. Its design uses learning strategies that have independent research support.
Retrieval practice
Trying to pull an idea from memory can strengthen later retention more than repeated restudy under many conditions.
Spacing
Distributing learning over time generally improves long-term retention compared with massing study into one period.
Relevant words + visuals
Well-designed multimedia can improve learning when representations support the content and unnecessary processing is reduced. RecallHack does not assume fixed learning styles.
Smaller steps + visible structure
RecallHack externalizes the plan, keeps the next action visible, and segments complex work to reduce unnecessary planning and working-memory demands.
This is a design rationale, not evidence that RecallHack treats ADHD or executive-function disorders.
What we can responsibly say
Supported: RecallHack uses retrieval practice, spaced review, source-linked feedback, segmentation, and content-appropriate multimedia.
Not established: that RecallHack itself improves academic outcomes or is a validated intervention for any diagnosis.
The big picture
Tap a source label anytime to see where a study point came from.
What this is fundamentally about
MUST KNOW
SHOULD KNOW / SUPPORTING DETAIL
Stopping rule
Understand the idea and how it fits
Use the explanation and study map together. The map stays available as a reference—you do not need to memorize its layout.
No concept loaded
Study map
This may be a process, comparison, timeline, concept map, worked example, or labeled structure.
Keep this visible while you work
Pull the idea from memory
Answer before looking back. Then check your answer against the source.
Your uploaded material can still be saved. Open a class and tap Continue studying—you should not need to upload it again.
Explain it in your own words
Speak or type. RecallHack will compare your explanation with the uploaded source.
Current concept
Feedback
Only do this one step.
Here’s the big picture.
Spend time where it can still change the result
Start with important ideas that still need attention. RecallHack keeps disputed answer checks from lowering your progress automatically.
What is holding steady?
Progress is based on what you can retrieve, not simply what you opened or read.
Use RecallHack alongside formal accommodations
RecallHack can remember the academic supports you enter or approve, but your college or school determines official accommodations and how they are implemented.
My saved accommodations / supports
Before the semester gets busy
- Contact the disability/accessibility office if you want formal accommodations.
- Submit documentation using that institution’s process.
- Confirm exactly what has been approved and how professors are notified.
- Keep important approval information easy to access.
RecallHack stores study-support settings; it does not approve accommodations or lower essential course requirements.
How RecallHack should support me
Build a functional learning profile from a short questionnaire, accommodations you enter, or an optional evaluation. RecallHack does not assign a fixed visual/auditory “learning style.”
Not set up yet
Choose any setup method below. You can change the profile later.

Helpful ways to access material
These are options RecallHack can surface—not learning-style labels.
Evidence & conflicts
RecallHack shows when your questionnaire, approved document, and accommodations agree—or when they do not. Formal accommodations are never removed by a questionnaire result.
Current adaptations
Turn any adaptation off if it does not help. RecallHack shows the reason instead of making hidden decisions.

How RecallHack should teach me
Account
Your username identifies this RecallHack account. Multiple usernames may use the same email address while keeping completely separate learning profiles, classes, and progress.
Appearance
Use your device setting automatically, or choose light or dark.
Admin usage
The cost estimate uses rates configured in the server environment and excludes Railway hosting.
Pilot architecture
V11 stores learning profiles per authenticated user. For a larger public launch, managed authentication, PostgreSQL, object storage, and a formal privacy/security review are still recommended.
