## What is Skim?

Pick how you want to learn: Deep Understanding, ELI5, Memorize, or Quick Review. Skim's AI breaks the document into bite-sized cards in that mode.

Upload any document — PDF, Word, PowerPoint, plain text, or Markdown and get tailored cards. Swipe any term to ask Skim about anything unclear, quiz yourself to see what stuck, and track your progress along the way.

Same dopamine, actually useful.

Questions or ideas: hello@tryskim.app

### 1.1 — 2026-05-14

• New: Memorize mode. Quiz-dense, atomic-fact cards built for recall — exams, interviews, certifications.                                       
• Quick Review (was Quick Reference): punchy refresher cards for the night before.                                                            
• Smarter long documents — cards across chapters now reference each other instead of redefining the same concept on every page.                   
• Ask Skim is a real conversation now. Follow-up questions thread under one entry instead of starting fresh each time.                           
• Streak reminders that actually stop when your streak ends.
• Plus: tone, polish, and a few quiet bug fixes.
