You asked and we listened: study streak reminders are here!
One of Brainscape’s greatest philosophies is that a little bit of studying every day obliterates even the most ambitious of study goals. Now, as motivation to keep showing up, day after day, even if it’s just for a quick 10-flashcard study round, we’ve introduced study streak reminders: gentle “nags” to keep your daily study streak alive!
To activate, simply go into the menu in the mobile app (left), select Notifications, and then you can then toggle on Streak Reminders (top right). Those will show up as push notifications on your phone’s home screen (bottom right) reminding you to stop what you’re doing and put in a quick study round with Brainscape. You can also customize the time of day you’d prefer to receive your nags (ahem, reminders).
Whichever way you swing it, Brainscape now works that little bit harder to keep you on track with your study goals, without any additional effort or thinking from you!

New certified class you should know about: Periodic Table Memorization
The periodic table is key to understanding Earth’s 118 natural and man-made elements and the way they behave when, for example, accidentally set on fire in the chemistry lab. That’s why we created a comprehensive set of flashcards for the periodic table, which you can use to learn and memorize its most essential symbols, values, and trends.
(We also made this handsome high res. periodic table JPG for you to print and use in class.)
Great content we love…

The people of Brainscape: Karen Sanchez
Meet the Web UI Engineer behind the absolutely stunning interface you see every time you log onto our website. Karen’s favorite Brainscape accomplishment is revamping the public (landing) pages—like “giving the entire website a fresh coat of paint”.
Her “swear-by” productivity hack is prioritizing her health. “When I prioritize my mental and physical well-being, it greatly enhances my productivity.” When Karen isn’t applying her craft to the Brainscape web with the skill of a Renaissance painter, you’ll find her in a NYC dance studio, diving deep into Afro and ballet.
What’s something she wishes you knew about Brainscape?
“It’s about to get even better!”
