This year, the Brainscape team unleashed a veritable tsunami of fresh features and content upon the world, from a whole new editor that revolutionized the flashcard creation process, to an ambitious (and totally free) collection of general knowledge flashcards that could single-handedly make you the smartest person in any room (except perhaps NASA’s rec room).
We also, finally, added the features you’ve been begging for:
- Study reminders
- Free imports/exports
- Learners tab metrics
- Mobile algorithm updates that make learning as fast and painless as possible.
It’s been one heckuva year and we’re beyond pleased at how far we’ve come. But we couldn’t have done it without all of YOU. So, thank you for entrusting your learning journey with us. We can’t wait to see where it takes you—and us—in 2024!
New (or Trending) certified class you should know about: Multiplication Tables
We know, we know… it’s about time we unleashed an optimized set of flashcards for memorizing multiplication tables! After all, flashcards are, like, the perfect vehicle for banking your sums in literally HALF the time it would otherwise take. So this collection is a little overdue but it’s here and it’s awesome: neatly organized so you—or your kids or students if you’re a parent or teacher—can crush those number milestones from 1’s, 2’s, and 3’s all the way to 25!
(And don’t forget to download these free multiplication tables to print for school and college!)

The people of Brainscape: Jake Foraker
Meet Jake, Brainscape’s lead mobile engineer and a total devotee of the Brainscape user, absorbing feedback and using it to fuel our latest and greatest mobile improvements and features.
When asked about his proudest Brainscape accomplishment, Jake totally name-dropped Smart Study, probably one of academia’s biggest innovations since lined paper (jk). “It was a collaborative effort and we believe it’s a feature that has positively impacted how users approach learning. We are very proud of it.” Did I mention that Jake is humble?
In between superhuman bouts of mobile engineering, Jake pops squats and does stretches at his work desk to “keep things lively and helps me stay on top of my game.” It’s his go-to productivity hack! But his favorite party trick is another story: Jake moonlights as a DJ, spinning tunes for fun and good vibes. Somehow we find that completely unsurprising.
Here’s a good vibe from Jake: “Behind the scenes, the Brainscape team is committed to continuous improvement, user feedback, and creating an awesome user experience.”
You’re the best, Jake!
