iPhone Three ideas a day
Fikra turns big ideas into short cards you can read or hear in a minute, then brings each one back as a question right before it fades.
Why Fikra
Most reading apps count what you got through. A week later, most of it has slipped away. Fikra is built around what comes after: bringing each idea back until it stays.
Every card you read returns as a question, on the day you would start to forget it.
Three cards and a few Shorts, then Fikra stops. No endless feed to lose an evening in.
Each card is one idea explained plainly, from cognitive biases to game theory, not a summary of someone's bestseller.
How it works
01 · Read
A term, a definition in everyday words and a hand-drawn figure. Every card is read aloud too, the words lighting up as they are said.
02 · Turn it over
An everyday example, one thing to try, and the idea it is most often confused with.
03 · Remember
Tomorrow, then on day 2, 5 and 12. Name it right on three different days and the card is mastered.
04 · Go deeper
Follow one in order, card by card, from its table of contents to its last idea.
05 · Shorts
A scene from everyday life, three names, one guess. A few a day, then it stops.
Listen
Every card has a narrator. Press play and follow the words as they fill in, the way they do in the app.

Mind & biases
You overestimate how much attention other people pay to you. You feel like everyone is watching your mistakes and your looks. But most people are busy with their own lives and barely register you.
Where it shows up
Try one
This is Shorts: a moment from everyday life, three names, one guess. Three to play here.
Mind & biases
The scene
You mispronounce a word during a toast. You cringe about it for a week. Ask anyone at the table, and they remember the cake, not you.

Questions
They count what you finish. Fikra is built for what you keep: each card is one idea explained plainly, it comes back as a question just before you would forget it, and the day ends after three cards instead of scrolling on.
About a minute a card. Three cards and a couple of questions fit in a coffee break.
No. There is no sign-in. Your reading, practice and settings stay on your iPhone. Fikra sends usage data under a random id, never your name, to see how the app is used, and you can turn it off in Settings. Read the privacy policy.
Yes. The cards and English voices are inside the app. French voices download once, then play offline too.
English and French: the cards, the screens and the voices. You choose on the first screen and can switch any time in Settings.
Twenty, from psychology and economics to physics, history, design and language, plus paths through practical skills and great books.
Fikra Plus starts and Apple bills your account, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. If you allow notifications, Fikra reminds you before the charge. You can cancel any time in your Apple account settings.
Three ideas today. Each one back before it fades.
