Step 1 — Paste
Drop in any link

YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook. Use the share sheet from anywhere in iOS to send a video straight into Ingrain.

AI builds your quiz

Ingrain pulls the transcript, summarizes the video, then generates 2 to 10 questions tailored to the actual content.

Step 3 — Know
Recall, not just rewatch

Spaced repetition resurfaces each question at the right moment, so the things you watch end up in long-term memory.


Built for the way
you actually learn

Frequently Asked Questions

Ingrain works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Just paste a link from any of them, or use the iOS Share sheet directly from those apps.

The video needs to have spoken content that can be transcribed — pure music videos or silent clips will not generate useful quizzes.

Ingrain fetches the video's transcript, splits it into sections, and sends it to Claude (Anthropic's AI model) which writes questions designed to test the actual content of the video — not surface-level trivia.

Short videos get a handful of questions. Long lectures get more. The questions are spread across the full video so you are not just being tested on the intro.

Every question keeps its own review schedule based on the SM-2 algorithm. Get a question right and it comes back days, then weeks, then months later. Miss it, and it returns the next day.

The result: things you remember slip into the background while things you keep forgetting get focused attention.

Yes — Ingrain uses a lightweight account to sync your videos and quiz progress across devices and to power friends and activity feed. Sign in with Apple is supported, so you do not need a password.

You can use Ingrain entirely solo. Activity visibility is off-by-default for friends, and you can disable it any time from your profile.

Life happens. Ingrain forgives a single missed day automatically — your streak shows a snowflake instead of breaking.

Take a quiz the next day and your streak picks up where it left off. Two consecutive missed days resets it, so you still have a reason to keep showing up.

Popular videos are cached. If someone has already generated and rated a quiz for the same video, you get the cached version immediately — no waiting.

If the cached quiz has been rated poorly, Ingrain regenerates a fresh one for you. Either way, you get the best version available.

Yes. The Add Video screen is built around a queue — paste or share links throughout the day, and the app fetches the metadata immediately so you have a tidy list.

When you have time, tap Generate Quiz on a single item or Generate All to process the whole batch in one go.

Every account gets a unique friend code. Share it with someone and they can send you a request — once accepted, you can see each other's recently completed quizzes.

Activity visibility is off by default for new friends and you can turn it off entirely in your profile. Quiz mastery is the only thing shared, never your full quiz history.

Ingrain offers a free tier you can use right away, plus an Ingrain Pro subscription that unlocks higher daily limits, unlimited quiz generations, and follow-up questions on completed quizzes.

Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID and can be canceled any time in iOS Settings.

Local data is removed when you delete the app. Your account, saved videos, and quiz history remain on the server tied to your account so you can pick up on a new device — unless you ask for deletion.

Want a full wipe? Email support@edgarpielb.com from the address tied to your account and I will delete everything.
