Getting Started
Start using Yuhimo as a notes app and learning system.
Getting Started · Updated 2026-08-27
Getting Started covers the basic Yuhimo workflow: create a page, decide whether it should become a learning page, start a review session when pages are due, and optionally use questions as recall prompts.
You can write the first page yourself, or optionally create a first draft with AI. Learning and questions are optional. Yuhimo is page-first — pages are the core unit for both notes and review.
Recommended path
If you are new to Yuhimo, follow this order:
Create your first page — full guide.
Turn on learning — full guide.
Start a review session — full guide.
Use questions — full guide.
What you need to know first
- Pages are the core unit in Yuhimo.
- Learning pages are normal pages with learning enabled.
- Questions are optional prompts — not required cards.
- Review sessions use self-assessment with Again, Hard, Good, and Easy.
- Yuhimo does not automatically check your answers.
- AI is optional and not required to start.
You do not need to use every feature
- You can create notes without enabling learning.
- You can enable learning later when a page is worth remembering.
- You can review pages without questions.
- You can add questions later if you need more recall structure.
- You do not need AI to use Yuhimo.
Common first decisions
- Should this page be a learning page?
- Enable learning if the page contains something you want to remember, not just store.
- Do I need questions?
- Use questions if they help you recall the page. They are optional.
- When should I review?
- Start a review session when Yuhimo shows due learning pages.
- What grade should I choose?
- Use Again, Hard, Good, or Easy based on actual recall, not based on how important the topic feels.
