Train

Read at a good pace and remember more of it.

Start with the one-minute test. In the app, games train pacing and memory, and your plum tree grows as you play. This test shows your speed next to how much you kept, because speed alone means little.

The one-minute reading test

Read the passage at your normal pace, then answer three questions. Nothing is saved.

The games

In the app, once you've created your library.

Pacing

Flash numbers

Numbers flash for a moment. Type what you saw. The flashes get faster as you improve.

Memory

Chain story

Link a list of words into one vivid story, then recall them in order.

Memory

Pegs

Learn ten picture pegs, then use them to remember any list.

Memory

The tea house

Walk through a memory palace and leave each item in a room.

Pacing

Paced reading

A guide moves down the page at a set pace. You answer questions after.

Claims about reading a book in an hour aren't supported by research. Practice can help you keep a steady pace and remember more.
