Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about engineering labs, formative outcomes, technical practice, scheduling, privacy, and project independence.
Engineering Labs are focused JavaScript tasks across reliable software, model evaluation, and retrieval systems.
Each track pairs optional concept study with a Foundation Lab and a Transfer Lab so you can recall, build, test, and apply the principle to a changed problem.
Anchrs records study preparation, attempts, server-verified test outcomes, completion time, and hint usage. The outcomes view compares the first Foundation attempt with the latest Transfer attempt.
Results are formative learning evidence, not certification or a hiring signal.
Alongside Engineering Labs, Anchrs includes DSA and system design sessions.
- DSA emphasizes algorithms, correctness, complexity, communication, and edge cases.
- System design emphasizes APIs, data models, reliability, capacity, and operational tradeoffs.
Anchrs uses spaced repetition to schedule reviews instead of static due dates.
- Scheduling options include Anchrs Adaptive and FSRS.
- Adaptive is the default for new users.
- Review timing is handled on device in the Apple app.
You can bring in notes, pasted text, PDFs, other supported files, and Anki decks so review starts from material you already use.
The dedicated app privacy page is available at /app-privacy.
It covers app data sync, analytics, crash reporting, technical practice data, and AI usage.
