SuperMemo on paper (1982-1987)
- 1982: my first experiments with memory retention. Creating extensive databases of paper notes in biochemistry and English
- 1985: formulating the first spaced repetition algorithm (see: The birthday of spaced repetition: July 31, 1985)
SuperMemo for DOS (1987-1995)
- SuperMemo 1.0 for DOS (1987)
- SuperMemo 2 (1988)
- SuperMemo 3 (1988)
- SuperMemo 4 with Algorithm SM-4 (1989)
- SuperMemo 5 with Algorithm SM-5 (1989)
- SuperMemo 6 with Algorithm SM-6 (1991)
SuperMemo for Windows (1992-present)
- SuperMemo 7 (1993) was the first version to run in Windows
- SuperMemo 8 (1995) was the first multimedia version written in Delphi
- SuperMemo 9 (1998)
