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.

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.
