How the daily practice works

GudMem uses spaced repetition: it shows you each face right before you'd forget it, so a few minutes a day is enough.

You meet people before you're quizzed on them. New faces are introduced in small rounds of three: first you see the face and the name together, then you prove the round before moving on. You're never asked to guess at a stranger. The recap counts who you met and forecasts when you'll know everyone — and Keep meeting continues with the next round whenever you have the energy.

Questions get harder as you get better. A new face starts with picking the right name from options; once you recognise someone reliably, GudMem asks you to type the name. The order is shuffled every session, the whole group comes around before anyone repeats, and when two people look alike, GudMem drills exactly that pair once you've met everyone.

One session for everything that's due. The Home screen's Start today's review collects the faces due across all your groups into a single session.

Choose what counts as "knowing" a name. Per group, you can practise the given name, the surname, or the full name — handy when first names are what you actually use in the room. You'll find it in the group's settings; full name is the default.

Your progress — learning, known and mastered — is on the Home card and in the Stats tab.
