Most study apps start after the hard part. They assume the material is already typed in, already organised, already yours. Quat starts at the lecture. Record it, photograph it, paste a link, or pick a file. Quat reads what you captured and turns it into flashcards that test you on it. CAPTURE, FOUR WAYS Audio — record a lecture, a seminar, or yourself talking through a topic. Quat transcribes it and pulls out what is worth remembering. Photo — point your camera at a textbook page, a whiteboard, a handout, or your own handwriting. Quat reads the text off it. Link — paste a URL. Quat fetches the page, reads it, and summarises what matters. It reads the actual page, so it cannot invent what is not there. File — choose a PDF, Word, PowerPoint or Excel document. Quat reads it and turns it into a note and cards. EVERY CARD KNOWS WHERE IT CAME FROM Cards carry their origin — MIC, JUL 28, CARDIO LECTURE. Weeks later, when a card surfaces and you cannot place it, you can go back to the thing it came from. REVIEW THAT ENDS Spaced repetition that schedules each card for the day you are about to forget it. When the day's cards are done, the session ends and tells you so. It does not invent more work to keep you in the app. Each rating button prints what pressing it will do — now, 1d, 3d, 4d — before you press it. No guessing what "Good" means. BUILT TO BE READ Every number is set in a monospaced face with tabular figures, so counts and intervals stay legible at a glance. It celebrates what you actually did — a finished session, a level earned — never the mere fact that you opened the app, and nothing is locked behind a streak. ALSO INSIDE - A tutor that answers from your own notes, and cites which one - Self-scored exam mode, separate from your review schedule - Matching, speed round, quiz and a study timer - Folders, tags and search - Send a folder to a classmate in one message — they open it in Quat with one Paste - Card content in 21 languages - Works offline for everything except capture PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. Your notes and cards are stored on your device, not on a server. Nothing leaves your device unless you ask for it: a capture sends what you handed it, a tutor question sends the notes it answers from, and a shared deck is sealed on your device before it goes. No analytics, no tracking, no advertising. Quat is for anyone preparing for something — a degree, a licence, a recertification, a driving theory test, a language. SUBSCRIPTION Everything on your device — reviewing, exams, games, notes, cards — is free without limit. A subscription raises the monthly ceilings on the parts that call a model: capture, the tutor, and card generation. Monthly or Annual, billed through your App Store account; it renews until cancelled, which you can do at any time in your account settings.

On the Cards screen, pick a folder and tap the share button under it, or share it from the results of an exam on that folder. Your classmate copies the whole message, opens Quat and taps Paste. The cards arrive as new, in a folder named after yours. Your own review history stays with you, and opening the same message twice adds nothing. There is no password to send separately. To keep a deck private, switch on "Lock with a password". If they install Quat from your message, they can paste it from the welcome screen. If they already use Quat, it's "Open a shared deck" at the bottom of the Cards screen. ### 2.1.2 — 2026-09-25 A small fix: the exam screen's length buttons now fit on one line in every language. ### 2.1.1 — 2026-09-25 A small fix: the exam screen's length buttons now fit on one line in every language. ### 2.1.0 — 2026-09-25 Choose where your notes go. When you save a capture, pick a folder — or make a new one right there — and the cards made from it go in the same folder. Sit an exam on just one folder. Before you start, you see how many cards it has, how many need work and how many are new. Add to a note you already have. A new capture can go to the bottom of an existing note, and its cards join that note's cards. When you make cards from a note you've added to, only the new part is used, so you don't get the same cards twice. The Cards screen has a folder row, and headers now fill the screen on iPad. ### 2.0.0 — 2026-09-21 A completely new look. Quat is now dark, bold and built like a game. A study trail shows the days you studied, where you are today, and how many cards are due on each of the next few days. Reviewing has combos, a progress bar and a proper finish — and levelling up is an occasion now. There are sound effects. They follow your silent switch, and you can turn them off in Profile. They never play while you are recording a lecture. Games, exams and capture have all been redesigned to match. Your notes, cards and review schedule are exactly as you left them. ## Apps similar to Quat | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Lotli - Study Smarter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lotli-study-smarter/id6814573803) | — | Free | Education | | [RepeatFlow](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/repeatflow/id6774746130) | — | Free | Education | | [Socratic AI-AI Homework Helper](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/socratic-ai-ai-homework-helper/id6753936112) | — | Free | Education | | [Preg: estudar sem preguiça](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/preg-estudar-sem-preguica/id6804429234) | — | Free | Education | | [ThinkBud: AI PDF to Flashcards](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/thinkbud-ai-pdf-to-flashcards/id6759010323) | — | Free | Education | | [Repeto: AI Flashcards](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/repeto-ai-flashcards/id6753144136) | — | Free | Education | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
