Learn your students' names from their photos.

Study walks your roster with each name shown, and lets you write a memory
hint under any face. Quiz hides the name and asks for it, offering your own
hint first. Switch with File → Study / Quiz, or Ctrl+Tab.

Getting your photos in

File → Prepare photos does it for you: it opens your photo roster in the
browser where you are already signed in, you save the page with Ctrl+S
(⌘S on a Mac) choosing Web Page, complete, and the app turns that into a
folder of named photos. No account, no API key, nothing uploaded — the photos
stay on your computer, and the app offers to delete the saved roster page
afterwards, since it holds student ID numbers as well as faces.

Not ready for a real roster? Try it with 5 sample students — five invented
people ship with the app.
