Sidetracked DaySidetracked Day learns how you learn. Every answer changes what happens next. Sidetracked Day builds a learning system around your individual performance, what you understand, where you hesitate, which explanations work, and what you’re beginning to forget. Upload your lecture slides, notes, or PDFs. The app maps your material and turns it into active study sessions. As you work, it continuously adjusts the questions, difficulty, explanations, pacing, and review timing around you. If you struggle with a concept, Sidetracked Day approaches it differently. If you’re making progress, it increases the challenge. If you’ve mastered something, it gets out of your way. If you’re beginning to forget, it brings the concept back. What changes around you • The questions you receive • The difficulty of your session • How concepts are explained • Which topics receive more attention • When previous material returns • What you should study next No two students receive exactly the same learning path, because no two students learn exactly the same way. Built for university students who want to spend less time managing study systems and more time actually learning. Give it your material. Let it learn how you learn. Whether you're preparing for exams, catching up on lectures, or trying to build better study habits, Sidetracked Day helps you study more effectively and stay focused. - Privacy Policy: https://sidetrackedday.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
