## What is Syllabo?

Syllabo is a study app for the IB Diploma, built for the 5 to 30 minutes you actually have.

Sessions that choose the content
Pick a time and Syllabo picks the content: your weakest syllabus points, the mistakes you haven't fixed and the topics your next test covers. Warm-up, lesson card, recall, application and an exam-format question, then done.

Your IB subjects, HL and SL
29 IB Diploma subjects across Groups 1 to 5, from Biology, Chemistry, Physics and both Maths courses to Economics, Business, Global Politics, Geography, History, Psychology, Computer Science, ESS and language courses. More than 53,000 original questions, each tagged to an official syllabus point and given a difficulty level from Warm-up to Expert, with key terms, lesson cards and common misconceptions. Calculation questions come in many versions with different numbers.

Marking against the mark scheme
Write your answer in your own words. Syllabo marks it against the mark scheme by meaning, not word-for-word, shows which marking points you earned and highlights the ones you missed. If you disagree, you can override the mark.

Diagrams you draw
Sketch the diagram the question asks for, from supply and demand shifts and externalities to energy profiles, molecular shapes, field lines, hydrographs and curve sketches. Compare it with a model diagram, tick off the marking points, or have AI mark your drawing when you're signed in. Works with a finger, Apple Pencil, or a trackpad on Mac.

Your notes, turned into practice
Scan or photograph your class notes, paste them, or send a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file to Syllabo. It turns them into flashcards tagged to the syllabus, and with AI switched on, exam-style questions too.

Past papers and an exam countdown
Questions in IB paper format with command terms and mark allocations. Add your tests and exams, and sessions lean towards what is coming up. Group syllabus points into the units your school actually teaches.

An AI tutor that knows your syllabus
Ask it to explain, quiz you, mark an answer or set an IB-style question. It knows your subject, syllabus point, mastery and recent mistakes. It works offline from the built-in curriculum, and with an online account it becomes a full AI tutor powered by Claude.

Teach it back
Explain a topic to your study buddy by typing or speaking, and see which parts you left out.

Streaks, skins, leagues and duels
Keep a daily streak with your study buddy. Studying earns coins, which open crates of skins for your buddy. Join a weekly league, challenge friends to duels on the same ten questions, and choose exactly what friends can see.

Your account on every device
Create an account to back up your progress and sign in on iPhone, iPad or Mac, or continue as a guest and create one later without losing anything. Daily reminders are optional.

Themes and text size
Navy, dark and light themes, and adjustable text size.

No ads, no tracking
No ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your study data is used only to run the app.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.2 — 2026-11-04

AP® courses are here, in beta, alongside IB. Choose your curriculum when you set up.

AP® courses (beta)
• 12 courses: Calculus AB and BC, Precalculus, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics 1, Psychology, US History, World History: Modern, English Language, Macroeconomics and Microeconomics.
• About 600 practice questions a course, following each current course outline.
• Timed practice exams, section by section, with an estimated score from 1 to 5. If you leave, you can pick up where you stopped.
• AP® scoring rubrics, formula sheets and your May exam dates.
• After setup you only see your own curriculum.

A better start
• Setup is shorter, and you can skip what you don't need. No account needed.
• Your first session is 3 quick questions, easiest first. Wrong answers are fine, and you can skip one.
• Lessons show an outline straight away if the full lesson is slow to arrive.

Reminders that work
• Syllabo asks after a session, and you choose how many and when.
• Reminders come from your open mistakes, your weakest topic and your exams, and a tap opens that session.
• Settings tells you if iOS has notifications off, and Check my notifications sends a test.
• A free streak freeze in your first week, and a Tomorrow card on your summary.

Better questions
• Practice now adjusts to how you're doing: a wrong answer usually brings an easier question next, and sessions start with a few quick ones.
• Planned sessions draw on exam-style questions first, with fewer near-identical ones in a session.
• Multiple choice options no longer give the answer away by length or wording.
• Not learned a topic yet? Tap "Not learned this yet" to skip the question without it counting against you.

A calculator on every calculation
• A Calculator button sits next to Formulas on any question with a sum, including multiple choice and written answers. Put in answer copies the result into your answer.

Safer boards
• Report or block a player from boards, duels, friends and private leagues. Offensive names are refused.

Smaller fixes
• Daily rewards: day 2 gives a crate, and after day 14 a smaller 14-day calendar repeats, with a crate every 7 days.
• Maths in tutor replies shows properly, without stray dollar signs.
• Progress on a second device is no longer replaced by an older copy when the connection drops.
• An exam can now say which paper or section it is, how long it lasts and its marks. All optional.
• After a calculation, the answer is shown as the mark scheme gives it, with the right significant figures and units.

### 1.9.1 — 2026-10-21

Questions checked against the IB guides, marking that works the way an examiner marks, maths and science set like the exam paper, and full science lessons.

Questions checked against the real exam
• Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, SEHS and Global Politics questions were reviewed against the IB guides, and the errors found were fixed.
• Many Maths AA and Biology questions were rewritten to read and mark like real paper questions.
• True or false items are now real multiple choice, near-identical questions became different ones, and extra calculation drills beyond what the papers set were taken out.
• Global Politics questions are now real paper parts, including essays and Paper 3 questions on your own researched case.
• Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths and Economics follow their current IB guides. Questions on topics the guides dropped are gone.

Marking like an examiner
• Essays are marked by level bands, as the IB marks them. Without AI marking, Syllabo no longer guesses: it shows the bands and a model answer and asks how it went.
• Error carried forward: a later step done right with your own wrong earlier value still earns its mark.
• Number answers follow IB rounding: exact or 3 significant figures in maths.
• Copying the question back, giving two answers to cover both, or listing keywords no longer earns marks.
• A calculation followed by a choice, such as "PED = 2, so demand is elastic", earns both marks.
• An answer that says the opposite of the mark scheme ("does not release oxygen") no longer earns the mark, and "1,000 kg" is read as one thousand.

Typeset like the paper
• Maths AA and AI questions, answers and the formula booklet show fractions stacked, powers on the right bracket, limits on integrals and matrices in brackets.
• Physics, Chemistry, Biology and the other science subjects show formulas, units and nuclides as the paper prints them, in questions, booklets and lessons.
• The tutor's maths is typeset the same way.

New questions, not repeats
• Sessions give you questions you haven't done before. A question you got wrong doesn't come back as it was: you get a similar one with other numbers or wording, so you learn the method rather than the answer. Getting that one right fixes the mistake. To redo the original, open it from Mistakes.

Lessons for Chemistry, Physics and Biology
• Every topic has a full written lesson with worked examples and quick checks, and it works offline.

Quick sessions that fill their time
• Five and ten minute sessions now hold five and ten minutes of questions, with one question that needs working.

A calculator outside maths
• Number answers in other subjects get a calculator keypad with an = key. Physics adds sin, cos, tan, e and ln.

Smaller fixes
• Questions made from your notes no longer show the marker's instructions as the model answer.
• Notes you import, and coins handed back to you, are kept when another device syncs.
• Deleting an online account asks you to sign in again first, so it is deleted online too.
• Rewards say "Ninja", not "Ninja skin".

### 1.9 — 2026-10-12

Tell us what’s wrong, right where you see it.

Send feedback
• Settings › Send feedback: something broke, something’s confusing, a wrong question or an idea. Add an email, or stay signed in, if you’d like a reply.
• Offline? Your note waits on your device and goes the next time you’re online.

Report a question
• Tap the flag beside the bookmark to report a question: the answer key is wrong, the wording is unclear, it’s not like the real exam, a typo, or too hard for SL. You can also report one from your Mistake bank.

Quick check-ins
• Ending a session early, you can tell us why in one tap. It’s optional.
• After your first session, a short “How was that?” card. It only appears once.

Anonymous usage counts
• Syllabo now counts a few anonymous moments, such as finishing setup or ending a session, to see where new students get stuck. No name, account or device identifier goes with them, and you can turn them off in Settings › Privacy.

### 1.8 — 2026-10-10

Sign up in one tap
• Continue with Apple or Continue with Google to create an account or sign in. Your progress as a guest comes with you.
• Change the email on your account in Account › Email.
• Deleting an account made with Apple also removes Syllabo's access to your Apple ID.

Find your friends
• Quick Add suggests people you may know: friends of your friends and students you've duelled.
• Find friends from your contacts. They're checked once and never stored, and you choose whether others can find you by your email or phone number.

Questions like the real exam
• More than 14,000 new exam-style written questions, mostly in Maths AA and AI, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics and Global Politics, for over 66,000 in total.
• Fewer true or false and multiple choice questions. Multiple choice now appears mainly in the sciences, the only IB papers that use it.
• Global Politics, History, Psychology, Systems Transformation and the language courses no longer include calculation questions, as their exams have none.
• Your first session is a proper short session of three to five questions on the topics you chose.

Fixes
• Updating Syllabo no longer signs you out or makes you redo setup.
• Opening your account during the welcome tour no longer freezes the screen.
• Backups, restores and your stats always use your own profile.

### 1.7 — 2026-10-07

Over 53,000 questions, a new start with Pip, flashcards you can swipe, and your own notes turned into lessons and tests.

Many more questions
• The question bank has grown from about 13,000 to over 53,000 original IB-format questions. Every syllabus point in the maths courses, the sciences, Economics, Global Politics, Business, Psychology and SEHS now has dozens, covering each learning objective.
• Calculation questions come in many versions with different numbers, so practising a skill again means new numbers to work with.
• Every question has a difficulty level from Warm-up to Expert, so the difficulty slider gives you exactly the range you ask for.

A new start
• New students meet Pip, see what Syllabo does, choose their subjects and how long they can study each day, and get a plan before their first session.
• The first session uses quick questions from maths, a science or Economics that are marked straight away.
• Creating an account takes an email, a password and the username you want. Syllabo tells you as you type whether it's free.

• Setup now asks which topics your class has covered in each subject, and your first session only asks about those. Change them any time in Edit session.
• Biology, Economics, ESS, SEHS, Geography and Global Politics now focus on understanding and concepts. Calculations still come up, in about one question in five.

A tidier Home
• Your initials and level sit at the top left, in a ring that fills as you earn XP. Tap it for your account and your progress.
• Friends and Settings are the two round buttons at the top right.

A cleaner shop
• The Buddy shop has a new layout: today's skin on its own card, every crate in one list with what it holds and its price, and daily rewards and streak freezes together under Power-ups.
• Crates no longer give the Classic skin, since everyone starts with it. Numbered Classic copies are retired and paid out in coins.

Streaks that mean studying
• Your streak grows when you finish a session, drill, flashcard deck or teaching round. Opening the app or leaving a session early doesn't count, and the results screen tells you when a day hasn't counted yet.

Flashcards
• Cards turn over with a real flip. Swipe right if you know it and left if you're still learning, or tap the buttons below. Cards you're still learning come back a few cards later.

Your notes, your course
• Imported notes are saved in Learn › Your notes. From any of them, start a lesson or a quick test on the topics they cover, add them to one of your units, write more questions, or make flashcards later.
• Importing many pages is much faster, with a progress bar and the time left.
• Questions made from your notes are marked on the idea, so a correct answer in your own words earns the marks. Ones that ask for a diagram give you the drawing pad.
• Send a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file to Syllabo from the share sheet, or pick one from Files, and it's read like your other notes.

Faster
• Syllabo opens faster: it loads only your subjects' questions, in the background.
• Smoother exam question lists, search, Learn, Progress and Practice.

Practice and marking
• Redo the questions you missed straight from the results screen.
• Mock exams hold your answers until the end, like a real paper.
• Number answers show your answer next to the correct value.
• The maths answer box has a clear button with undo, and Undo on the drawing pad brings back erased strokes.
• Formulas and the formula booklet grow with Larger Text.

Friends
• Rematch a friend from the duel result, and nudge your study buddy while you wait for them.
• A week away no longer drops your league tier.

Fixes
• Days and streaks are counted correctly in every time zone, and reminders arrive on time when the clocks change.
• The coin counter on the Buddy tab shows large amounts in full.
• Better VoiceOver labels and larger tap targets.
• Many fixes to marking, mark schemes and content across every subject.
