For many moons, Brainscape learners have howled for dark mode. Now, it’s finally here on the study screen in the mobile app!

Okay, okay so dark mode has been a LONG time coming… but we’ve just been so focused on optimizing Brainscape’s study efficiency that we kinda forgot just how many of you would choose to live in a bat cave if you weren’t so afraid of catching a zootropic virus. 

We should know. We are those people!

Cute bat meme I am the night

How to Activate Dark Mode on the Study Screen:

  1. Update your Brainscape app to the latest version.
  2. Navigate to your Device’s Settings (not in the Brainscape app).
  3. Toggle the Dark Mode switch to ON.

That's it! You're now ready to elevate your study experience to a whole new level. We can't wait for you to try it out, and let us know what you think in the Brainscape Community. (Like if you really NEED dark mode on other screens in the app or you just want to share with our team how much you appreciate this update 🥰) 

Don't fail another New Year's resolution... these flashcards will keep you on track

Great news for those of you with New Year’s resolutions…

We’ve distilled the life-changing power of a sweaty Tony Robbins hug into a collection of Personal Development flashcards, which will gently push you to improve your habits, mindset, and emotional intelligence consistently

Using our Smart Study feature, you can sprinkle these flashcards into your existing studies so that they pop up every now and then with a random reminder to make a micro-change or perform a micro-action that’ll benefit your personal, professional, and financial life.

New year, new you, right?

HECK YEAH!

Here’s a guaranteed chuckle…

Our gift to you: free (beautiful) daily planners…

You’re welcome.

Say hi to Brainscape’s Director of Content, Natasha Schön:

Brainscape's Director of Content Natasha Schonn

If sunshine were personified, its name would be Natasha. Natasha is the queen behind the categorization, organization, and creation of flashcard content in the Knowledge Genome. You know the 'Get Smarter' flashcards that came for free with your Brainscape account? Yeah, that’s her baby!

While Natasha’s focus is locked on making Brainscape the world’s foremost knowledge repository, she’s actually more footloose than Kevin Bacon. An irrepressible digital nomad at heart, Natasha has worked her magic for Brainscape from literally hundreds of coffee shops and work communes in over 12 different countries. (I once even had a meeting with her on a bus.)

Natasha has just three criteria for a good home: space to spread out her yoga mat, good matcha, and a strong wifi signal!

Our favorite place to hang out: the Brainscape Community

You know Thea? She’s a real person! In fact, she is (I am) writing this very email as we speak! Also: Natasha, Courtney, and Andy? Real people. You’ve seen their names in your inbox countless times and now we want you to hop into the Brainscape Community on Discord and talk to us in person!

Here, you can also chat with other self-motivated learners who are studying exactly the same subjects as you; boss us around by telling us how we can improve; and receive free training on learning as efficiently as humanly possible. What’s not to love? Join the Brainscape Community today!
