The Momntus method

Three steps.  Five minutes a day.  Actual results.

Upload your own study material — any subject, any format — and Momntus builds a personalised learning path from it using the same memory science used by medical students and professional athletes.

Try it now — upload your content

Drop in a document, image, or audio file from whatever you're studying. Momntus will show you how the three-step process applies to your material — not a demo subject.

Here's how Momntus applies the three-step process to your material
1
Your content becomes a personalised lesson Momntus extracts the key concepts, structures them as a story-first lesson, and removes anything you already know from your learning profile.
2
Active checks are built from your material 2–3 retrieval questions are generated from your specific content — not generic quizzes. Wrong answers trigger an immediate re-explanation in a different format.
3
Your retention map updates from your first session Every concept from your upload is added to your knowledge map with a spaced repetition schedule. Momntus will bring back anything that starts to fade — before your next exam.
1

Open your lesson

A short, story-driven explanation of your content — matched to how you learn, not how a textbook was written.

2

Answer and get caught

Quick retrieval checks built from your uploaded material. Wrong answers get re-explained immediately — in a different way.

3

Your progress, remembered

Every concept is added to your retention map. Momntus schedules the right review at the right time — based on your actual forgetting curve, not a fixed schedule.

The process

What happens in each session

Every session follows the same three-step loop — simple enough to do anywhere, designed well enough to actually work.

01

Open your daily lesson

One short, story-driven lesson on a real concept — from your own uploaded material, or from Momntus's curated library. Five to seven minutes from start to finish.

Every lesson starts from a situation you've been in — an argument, a decision, a moment you regretted — and works backwards to the psychology behind it. Upload your textbook or lecture notes and Momntus builds the same story-first format around your content.

  • Story-first format — the concept emerges from the situation
  • Upload your own material in any format and it becomes your lesson
  • Designed to be readable in 5–7 minutes on a phone
  • No prerequisite knowledge — ever
Cognitive Bias · Lesson 4  ·  6-day streak
Why you remember the argument differently than they do

You and a friend disagree about how a conversation went last week — and you're both being honest. This isn't lying. It's confirmation bias reshaping memory itself.

02

Answer, and get caught

Quick interactive checks run throughout the lesson — not a quiz at the end. When you get something wrong, the AI assistant explains it again, a different way, right there.

This matters because reading something and understanding it aren't the same thing. The checks create the "retrieval event" that converts short-term exposure into something that lasts.

  • 2–3 checks per lesson — enough to consolidate, not enough to feel like a test
  • Wrong answers trigger an immediate, personalised re-explanation
  • The AI assistant is available mid-lesson for any question
  • Your response pattern feeds your learning profile
Cognitive Bias · Lesson 4
How does memory work when we recall past events?
AWe remember things exactly as they happened
Memory is reconstructed, shaped by what we already believe
COne person is always lying
Nice — that's the one. Want to see how this connects to the "Mandela Effect" lesson you did Tuesday?
03

Your progress, remembered

Momntus tracks which concepts you've mastered and which ones keep tripping you up — then quietly brings those back in future lessons until they stick.

This is where most apps stop: they show you content and track completion. Momntus tracks retention — whether the concept actually stayed with you. When it detects a gap re-opening, it reintroduces the concept using a different method than last time.

  • Every lesson result updates your personal retention map
  • Forgotten concepts return — explained differently next time
  • Your "areas to work on" list updates daily
  • The system picks the reinforcement method — spaced repetition, interleaving, Feynman — based on your history

Memory science

Why this works — the research behind it

Momntus is built on four of the most rigorously tested findings in learning science. Not trends. Not habit apps. Peer-reviewed memory research applied directly to your daily lessons.

Four findings. Decades of peer-reviewed evidence. Applied to every session.
Finding 01
Spaced repetition

Reviewing a concept at increasing intervals — right before you'd naturally forget it — is the single most effective method for long-term retention. Momntus calculates your personal forgetting curve and brings concepts back at the right moment.

Ebbinghaus, 1885 · Cepeda et al., 2006 · Kornell & Bjork, 2008
Finding 02
Active recall

Re-reading creates familiarity. Retrieving from memory creates retention. Every check in a Momntus lesson is a retrieval event — forcing your brain to reconstruct the concept, which is what makes it stick.

Roediger & Karpicke, 2006 · "Testing effect" meta-analyses
Finding 03
Interleaving

Mixing different concepts within a single session produces stronger retention than studying one topic at a time (blocked practice). Momntus mixes older concepts into new lesson flows — it feels harder but produces measurably better recall.

Kornell & Bjork, 2008 · Taylor & Rohrer, 2010
Finding 04
The Feynman technique

Explaining a concept in plain language exposes gaps that re-reading hides. When Momntus asks you to explain a concept to the AI assistant, it's not a gimmick — it's a diagnostic that surfaces exactly what you don't understand.

About the method

Yes. Momntus isn't limited to psychology or a fixed curriculum. Upload a PDF chapter, a set of lecture notes, a scanned page, or a recorded lecture — and it builds a personalised lesson from your material. Supported formats: PDF, Word, TXT, JPG, PNG, MP3, WAV, PowerPoint.
No. Lessons start from real, everyday situations — an argument, a habit, a decision — and build the psychology around them. No prerequisite knowledge or vocabulary assumed.
Passive consumption (reading, watching, listening) creates familiarity, not retention. Momntus uses active retrieval — you're asked to reconstruct concepts from memory — which produces measurably stronger long-term recall. The AI assistant also tracks what you didn't understand and brings it back.
Five minutes is designed to be the minimum viable habit — something you can do during any gap in your day. You can do multiple lessons per day on any plan. The most important thing is doing one every day, consistently, rather than doing ten in one sitting and nothing for a week.
Your streak resets — but your learning profile, notes, and saved progress don't. Momntus isn't punitive about streaks. The science says consistent daily practice beats irregular intensive sessions; the streak is there to help you stay consistent, not to punish you when life happens.
It tracks your response pattern across every check in every lesson — whether you got it right the first time, after a hint, or not at all. It also tracks how long you take, whether you use the assistant mid-lesson, and which explanations you ask to see again. This builds a quiet picture of what's landing and what isn't.
