What Smart Planner does

Feathly helps you bring back information you want to remember and actions you want to repeat.

For memory and learning

Spaced Loop

Use a Spaced Loop for vocabulary, facts, presentation notes, work procedures, or anything you want to recall again later.

For repeating actions

Routine Loop

Use a Routine Loop for scheduled actions such as medication, exercise, cleaning, inspections, or weekly checks.

Feathly manages timing, not memory itself

Try to recall first, then check the note and choose the result that matches your attempt.

Beginner 02

Which Loop should you choose?

Choose by the purpose of the item, not only by its title.

Choose Spaced Loop when...

You want to remember content.
The next review follows completion of the current review.
The gap between reviews can change across steps.

Choose Routine Loop when...

You want to repeat an action.
The action follows a day, weekday, or regular time.
After you complete it, the next routine is scheduled.

One goal can use both types

“Study English every evening” can be a Routine Loop. Each new word can be a separate Spaced Loop.

Select how often the action repeats, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.

How to complete a Routine
