How this thing works.

Short answers to the questions most people have on day one. If something you need isn't here, the feedback link at the bottom goes straight to the person building this.

What is this app, exactly?

It's a revision companion for Ghana School of Law Part 1. Instead of dumping notes on you, it teaches each subject as a continuous story you can actually remember, then drills you on it, keeps the authorities one tap away, and walks you through drafting. Civil Procedure is the subject being built first.

Does it work offline?

Yes — that's the whole point. Once you've opened it on a connected device, it caches itself so you can revise on a crowded trotro with no signal. You can also "install" it: in Chrome on Android tap the menu and choose Add to Home screen; on an iPhone use Safari's Share → Add to Home Screen. It then opens like an app, full-screen, no browser bar.

How do the drills decide what to show me?

Each card you answer, you rate honestly — Good, Almost, or Miss — and set a confidence from 1 to 5. Cards you nail are pushed further into the future; cards you fumble come back soon. It's spaced repetition: think of it like a gym spotter who quietly loads more weight on the lifts you're strong at and keeps drilling the ones you're not. The schedule lives on your device, so it remembers where you left off.

What do the streak, level and ring mean?

They're there to make showing up daily feel good. Your streak counts consecutive days you revised, your level climbs as you bank correct answers, and the ring fills toward a small daily target. None of it is graded or sent anywhere — it's a nudge, like the rings on a fitness watch, not a report card.

Where is my progress stored? Is it private?

Everything — your streak, your card schedule, your theme — is saved locally in your own browser on that device. Nothing is uploaded to a server and there's no account to create. The trade-off: clearing your browser data, or switching to a different phone, starts you fresh. Think of it like writing in your own notebook rather than a shared Google Doc.

Can I change how it looks?

Yes. The three dots in the bottom-left switch between Pitch (dark), Bone (light) and Dusk (a softer twilight). Pick whichever is kindest to your eyes at 2 a.m. Your choice is remembered on that device.

There's a timer in the menu — what's it for?

It's the real three-hour exam clock, broken into the same shape as the actual paper: five minutes to plan, four questions at thirty minutes each with ten-minute reviews, and a final sweep. Practising against it trains your pacing, which is half the battle on the day.

A lot of chapters are locked. When do they open?

The content is being built chapter by chapter, in the order the course manual teaches it, so each one is checked properly before it goes live. As chapters are added, their locks open automatically and their cases, rules and drafting templates fill in across the tabs. The chapter map on the Civil Procedure page always shows what's live and what's next.

I found a mistake / I have a suggestion.

Please send it — accuracy matters more here than almost anything, and a single corrected rule can save marks. Use the Send feedback link at the bottom of any page.
