No saved sessions. No effect on your workspace timer. Leaving or reloading clears this clock. Completion is silent.
Make the topic smaller than the page
“Biology” is too much for one round. “How water moves through a plant” gives you somewhere to begin. Put that heading on paper, hide your source, and use the first interval to write or sketch from memory. Arrows, unfinished sentences, and rough diagrams are all useful here.
You are making something to check, not a set of notes to hand in. If the page stays nearly empty, spend a little time learning the material before trying again. A blank sheet cannot tell you much about a topic you have never studied.
The checking round matters
Keep the original attempt visible while you compare it with a reliable source. Use a different pen to distinguish something missing from something incorrect. Those are different jobs for the next session: one needs another detail; the other needs a corrected explanation.
The final two-minute round is deliberately narrow. Cover the source and retry one gap instead of rewriting the whole sheet. Later, come back to the topic with a fresh page so the old layout does not do the remembering for you.
A short structure you can change
The 5/3/2 pattern is a starting plan for this tool, not an official blurting formula. A diagram-heavy topic may need longer. Each stage waits for your click, and its duration can be changed before it begins. Keep the actual revision on paper or in your own notes app; this page does not collect your answers.
Before you start
How long should a blurting session last?
Start with a small topic and a short attempt. This page offers five minutes of recall, three of checking, and two of retrying. Adjust each stage if you need more space for diagrams or calculations.
Is blurting the same as copying notes?
No. During Recall, the source is covered. You check it afterwards. Copying may help you organise material, but it does not show what you could retrieve on your own.
Should I keep repeating until the page is perfect?
You can stop after finding a few useful gaps. Correct them, take a break, and revisit the topic on another day. The timer does not require a score or a perfect round.
