Mnemosyne is a technology developed by Peter Bienstman free and free flashcard software based on the spaced repetition method. Mnemosyne was originally inspired by the commercial program SuperMemo, but has developed far beyond that. Mnemosyne uses a slightly modified variant of an older but more robust version of the SuperMemo algorithm SM2.
