From source to study

Choose your material.
Make your next review.

A chapter, a note, or a recorded lecture. Choose the parts you want to learn and turn them into flashcards or quiz questions on supported devices.

01 / BRING IT IN

Start with what you have

Import a PDF, paste text, or choose an audio file. You can also use a saved voice note, notebook recording, or audio attached to a course note. Existing transcripts are reused.

02 / CHOOSE YOUR PIECES

Pick what to study

Browse the source in manageable pieces and select the sections you need. Generate from your selection or work through the next batch. Pause, continue, or retry failed pieces.

03 / REVIEW AND SAVE

Build your practice

Read the generated cards or questions, keep the useful ones, and save them for review. You can edit saved material. Check the answers against your source before studying.

Which devices and languages support AI?

Generation requires iOS 26 or later, a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled, downloaded models, and a supported source language. The app checks availability before generation. An Arabic interface does not guarantee Arabic AI generation on every device or system version. Manual flashcards and quizzes are available without Apple Intelligence.

How do audio files become study material?

Choose the language spoken in the recording, then transcribe and split it into pieces. Audio-file transcription runs on-device on iOS 26 or later with a supported speech language and Speech permission. A language pack may download on first use. A saved recording with a usable transcript can go straight to piece selection.

Can I use a scanned PDF?

PDF study generation reads selectable text. A scanned document without a text layer needs text extraction first. You can paste that text into the generator; automatic OCR of an entire scanned book is not part of this import flow.

Every tool, built in

Study tools that work
the way you do.

Record, sketch, browse, annotate, and quiz yourself—without breaking the flow of the course you are studying.

Recording a lecture inside a notebook while the timer counts up

Record the lecture while you write

Record beside your notes, import an audio file, or reuse a saved recording. On supported devices, turn its transcript into pieces for flashcards or quizzes.

Handwritten strokes appearing on a notebook page

Notebooks in your own handwriting

Draw and write with Apple Pencil or your finger—shapes, text, images, audio, and links on the same page.

Scrolling through an annotated PDF

Import and annotate PDFs

Bring in slides and books, search the text layer, ink on the pages, and export the annotated copy back out.

Image occlusion labels revealed one by one

Image-occlusion flashcards

Hide the labels on a diagram, then reveal them one by one — the study technique med students swear by.

Answering a quiz question with instant feedback

Quizzes with instant feedback

Play multiple-choice quizzes from your material — the right answer and the why, revealed instantly.

Live websites inside a notebook

Add a link as an interactive card, play a video or scroll the page, then return to writing exactly where you were.

The whole workspace

Built around the course—not around a file type.

A course holds the plan, focus history, notes, links, PDFs, notebooks, decks, and quizzes. Nothing has to live in a mystery folder.
