Getting started with Brainback

A ten-minute setup that changes how you study.

Getting started5 min

Brainback is a small workflow with a big claim: refuse to give you answers on the coursework that matters, and hand you a durable memory of what you actually know. Here's how to get set up in ten minutes.

the actual steps

Do these, in this order.

  1. 01Sign up with your school email. Magic link or Google — pick whichever you use daily.
  2. 02Add your learn subjects in Settings. These are the subjects Brainback will treat as academic and route to Learn mode. Everything else goes to Efficiency mode.
  3. 03Start your first Learn session. Paste a problem, type your attempt, pick your confidence, hit send. That's the loop.
  4. 04Try one Explain-back. Pick a concept you think you know cold. Explain it in your own words. Read the score.
  5. 05Check your recall queue tomorrow. Every wrong attempt has already become a card. Review five cards.
