Our story
We started with one question: why do people forget what matters most?
Frontgate Recall Lab was founded in 2018 in San Francisco by a small group of cognitive scientists and educators who believed memory training should be practical, measurable, and beautiful.
Our mission
Explore coursesEvery year millions of professionals invest time and money in learning yet retain less than 10% after 30 days. We exist to change that equation.
Our mission is to equip individuals and organizations with research-backed systems for encoding, organizing, and retrieving knowledge—turning fleeting information into lasting capability.
We measure success not by course completions, but by the real-world outcomes our alumni achieve: faster promotions, clear decisions under pressure, and deeper subject mastery.
Editorial values
Evidence first
Every lesson we create is grounded in peer-reviewed cognitive research. No trends, only methods proven to work.
Clarity over complexity
We design elegant systems that are powerful yet simple enough for anyone to adopt within minutes of starting.
Measurable growth
Learners track retention, speed, and application in real scenarios. Progress is visible and celebrated.
