Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my files, flashcards, and notes if I subscribe but eventually don't renew?

You will be downgraded to a Free Forever account. You won’t lose access to your data, files, flashcards, or notes. You can still practice your flashcards. If you exceed any of the limits of a free account, you cannot add or create new content or flashcards unless you re-subscribe.

What are bonus days?

Bonus days are free extra days that push your subscription renewal date further into the future. You can “pay” for bonus days with pearls you earn by performing various activities in the app. Most of these activities enhance your learning.

What's the story about forthcoming, native, local-first apps?

We have already developed, but not yet released, native apps for Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS. We are actively working on making these native apps function local-first. This will mean that all your content will reside on your devices, enabling you to work offline and sync with the cloud when you return online. These apps will be super fast, enabling you to easily switch between working with SmarterHumans on your computer and mobile devices.

What is your refund policy?

Notify us within ten days of the start of a subscription if you wish to receive a no-questions-asked refund.
