Upload what you are studying and get questions to answer from memory. You write the answer first, then check it, which is the whole point of active recall.

Notes, a PDF, or a slide deck. GeniusPal turns it into a set of questions worth answering.
The question comes up with the answer hidden. You write what you can remember before anything is revealed.
Compare what you wrote against the answer and mark it missed, almost, or got it. What you missed comes back around.
Multiple choice lets you pick the familiar-looking option. Writing the answer from a blank screen is the version of testing that actually builds recall.
You decide whether what you wrote was good enough. Marking honestly is what makes the next round useful, and nothing is scored against you.
Anything you mark as missed returns ahead of the material you already have, so your time goes where the gaps are.
One upload gives you the recall drill, a 10-question multiple-choice quiz, and a flashcard deck over the same material.

It is a tool that turns your study material into questions you answer from memory rather than reread. GeniusPal writes the questions from the file you upload.
A quiz gives you options to choose between, so recognising the right answer is enough. A recall drill hides the answer entirely and asks you to produce it, then lets you grade what you wrote.
You do. GeniusPal shows the model answer next to what you wrote and you mark it missed, almost, or got it. Self-grading is deliberate, since only you know whether you really had it.
Not as a calendar. Within a set, questions you mark as missed are brought back ahead of the ones you got, so repetition is driven by how you did rather than by a fixed schedule.
