Why choose OptiLeague?

What makes OptiLeague different?

1. OptiLeague is (much) simpler. While other apps have a bloated or overly childish interface (with gamification everywhere), OptiLeague gives you a minimalist, neutral, distraction-free and private-first interface. We focus on the fundamental features. And that's it.
2. OptiLeague lets you practice on a consistent basis. In that sense, OptiLeague is a regular-practice based app while other flashcard apps are spaced-repetition based apps. Spaced-repetition based apps offer irregular practice sessions: some days you have 0 or a few cards to review, other days you may have lots of them. With OptiLeague, you can practice as regularly as you wish to.

Isn't spaced repetition better than regular practice?

This might be shocking, considering the popularity of spaced-repetition apps. But it's not. Spaced repetition is overrated. The Latimier et al. (2021) meta-analysis found that, when comparing expanding spacing schedules (where intervals increase over time) versus uniform spacing schedules (fixed intervals), there was "no significant difference between expanding and uniform spacing schedules of retrieval practice".

So do not fear from stepping away from traditional spaced-repetition based apps. As long as you retrieve the information several times over a relatively long period of time (several weeks to several months), you can achieve mastery in any topic or field. OptiLeague is the best flashcard app to do it.
