The real enemy
You don't have a studying problem. You have a forgetting problem.
It's November. You open your June notes on the Mauryan economy — and it reads like someone else studied it. Every aspirant knows that moment.
The forgetting curve doesn't negotiate
Within days, most of what you read starts to fade. By month six, month-one topics are nearly gone. This isn't a discipline failure — it's how every human memory works.
Revision always loses to new ground
Deciding what to revise — out of six months of notes, across ten subjects — is itself a full-time job. So it quietly loses to the next chapter, every single day.
So you re-learn instead of revise
The second pass through Polity shouldn't feel like the first. But without a system holding what you've built, that's exactly what it becomes.
How it works
You bring the discipline. Smaranly brings the schedule.
The science is a century old — spacing and retrieval are the two most replicated findings in memory research. The schedule across 6,300 cards is the impossible part. That's the part we run.
Open, don't organise
No deck-building, no note-typing, no tagging. 188 capsules and 6,300+ cards mapped to the syllabus are already made — pick your main subject and start.
Review what's due. That's the whole job.
Every card is scheduled by the FSRS-6 algorithm for the moment you'd otherwise forget it. Your Home screen just says what's due today — the deciding is done for you.
Walk in with all of it
What you studied in month one is still there in month twelve, because the schedule never once let it slip. That's the entire point.
What's inside
Built for how the exam actually tests you
An algorithm, not a to-do list
FSRS-6 — a modern spaced-repetition engine — times every single card to your own memory. Fewer reviews, more retained, across the widest syllabus in Indian examinations.
Train your gut for negative marking
After every answer you rate how sure you were. Smaranly shows where overconfidence would cost you real marks at −⅓ each — so the exam hall isn't the first place you find out.
The exam's own questions, verified
Decades of UPSC past-year questions with 2,700+ individually verified answer keys — and every chapter ranked by how often the exam actually asks it. Study what the paper demands.
Mocks that behave like the hall
Full 100-question, 2-hour papers weighted subject-by-subject like the real exam. An optimal-attempts advisor then does the negative-marking math from your own mock history.
Every format UPSC throws at you
Multi-statement, match-the-list, chronology ordering, assertion–reason, free recall, table fill-ins, tap-the-map geography. Practice the way the paper asks, not simplified flashcards.
Habit-building without the casino
Streaks with automatic freezes, a daily cap so you can't burn out chasing points, and deliberately no leaderboards. Calm, daily, yours — the way a two-year preparation has to be.

Free revision tools, open to everyone

685 events
Modern India timeline
Every dated event across six eras, with the reasoning behind their order. Recall mode hides the titles.

New app. Old science. No games.
Why trust a new app?
- The method isn't the gamble. Spaced repetition and retrieval practice are among the most replicated results in memory research. Smaranly's job is running that schedule over the UPSC syllabus — nothing more exotic than that.
- We're honest about our stage. Smaranly is new. You'll watch it improve week by week — and nothing on this page claims users, ranks, or results we don't have.
- Your data is yours. Built for India's DPDP Act: export or delete everything from Settings, anytime. No spam, no selling your number to a call centre. Ever.
- Built independently in India — by people who'd rather earn your trust than buy your attention.
Free and Pro, in plain words
- The study core is free — capsules, every review, chapter tests, standard mocks, the focus clock, progression, basic analytics.
- Pro adds the AI tutor, deep analytics, and weak-areas mocks. Prices are on the Pricing page, announced openly — a fraction of what coaching costs, with zero lock-in.
- No payment details until you upgrade. Cancel any time from Settings and keep Pro to the end of the period you paid for.
- Your study data stays exportable either way.
Questions aspirants ask
Asked and answered
Is Smaranly a replacement for coaching or lectures?
No — it's your retention layer. Lectures, books, and notes put knowledge in; Smaranly makes sure it's still there on exam day. It fits alongside whatever preparation you already follow.
How is this different from making my own flashcards in Anki?
The cards are already made. Smaranly ships 188 concept capsules and 6,300+ cards mapped to the UPSC syllabus in real exam formats — multi-statement, match-the-list, chronology and more — so day one is a review day, not month one of deck-building.
Does it cover both Prelims and Mains?
The core is Prelims-first: the full GS syllabus, past-year questions, and exam-weighted mocks. Mains support is retention-aware — mastering a topic's core cards unlocks its Mains past-year questions, with directive-word practice built in. A fuller answer-writing flow is in development.
What does Free include, and what does Pro cost?
The study core is free, for as long as you like: capsules, every spaced-repetition review, chapter tests, standard mocks, the focus clock, progression, and basic analytics. Pro adds the AI tutor, deep analytics, and weak-areas mocks; the current prices are on the Pricing page. Pro renews each period and you can cancel any time from Settings — you keep Pro to the end of the period you paid for. No surprise charges, no auto-renewals you didn't ask for, and no payment details until you upgrade.
Is my data safe?
Smaranly is built for India's DPDP Act: export all your data or delete your account from Settings at any time, consent is granular, and your email is never shared or sold.
Is it available in Hindi?
The content is in English for now. Hindi-medium support is on the roadmap and will be announced when it's real — we'd rather under-promise.
Six months from now, you'll still remember today.
