One minute in Cue.
A question arrives. You answer from memory. Cue gives you the one idea that matters and decides when it should return.
How it works
Set it up once. Then stop thinking about it.
- 01
Pick a path
Five paths or your own. A diagnostic sets the starting level.
- 02
It arrives while you work
Three a day, inside your hours, 90 minutes apart, never in quiet hours.
- 03
Answer in about a minute
Write a sentence. It grades, explains, and schedules the next review.
Cue lives in the menu bar. It tells you when the next card is due, and it stops the moment you say so.
Learning paths
Start with the engineer you are becoming.
Pick a role and Cue changes what matters most, how deep each subject goes, and which question should come next.
11 subjects · 363+ cards ready
Software Engineer
Broad software-development capability across code, collaboration, data, services, and design.
Or build a custom path from all 29 subjects.
A one-line product change required edits in eight packages. What is that a symptom of?
Code Design & Architecture
Designed to leave you alone
Present when useful. Gone when it is not.
Cue fits around work instead of asking work to fit around it.
It aims at your weak spots
A priority engine picks the next concept from your mastery, what is overdue, and how heavily your goal weights the subject. It is a decision, not a playlist position.
Spaced review, handled for you
Concepts come back on a schedule set by how well you answered. If a later answer proves you already know something, the card queued for it is dropped instead of asked.
It backs off when ignored
Skip a few in a row and Cue stops for the rest of the day and offers to lower the cadence. It is built to be ignorable — which is why it is still there in month six.
Works with no network
Cards come from a local cache. Answers and actions queue in a durable outbox and reconcile in a single batch when you reconnect. A plane is a normal place to use it.
Progress in plain words
Six bands instead of a fake percentage. No streaks to break, no badges. Goals shape what gets scheduled; they are not trophies.
Quiet about you
Operational logs carry a request ID, the route and a duration — not your answers, not your queries, not your source text.
Depth when you want it. Invisible when you do not.
Cue works from the card and menu bar. When you want the whole picture—what is due, which subjects are moving, and what your goal emphasizes—the dashboard is one keystroke away.
Progress stays in plain language: Not started, Developing, Solid, Strong. No streaks to protect and no fake precision.
