Generate your own audio mini-course in minutes. Mindcastly turns your exam or interview topic into a short AI-generated audio track you can actually finish — 10–15 minute lessons, clear structure, and visible sources. How it works Type your topic and goal (Exam, Interview, Upskill, Hobby). Pick how long you want to study (about 60 or 180 minutes total). Choose your voice and speed. Get an outline of 4–8 focused lessons. Press Generate and start listening to Lesson 1 in under ~90 seconds. No scrolling through catalogs, no endless playlists — just your track, built for your goal. Designed for “audio-native” learners Mindcastly is for people who learn in headphones: Exam sprinters – study exam tickets and high-yield concepts in short bursts. Interview prep – refresh frameworks and examples on the way to your interview. Time-pressed upskillers – learn SQL, marketing, product and more in 10–15 minute chunks. Night-time learners – calm voice, sleep timer, and short lessons before bed. Pick your context (Commute, Work break, Before sleep) and we’ll align reminders and lesson length to your real life. Why Mindcastly is different Generate-first, not a catalog Type a topic → get a plan → hear your first lesson. No browsing through thousands of courses. Mini-course structure, not just TTS Mindcastly creates a short outline of 4–8 lessons with clear outcomes, then turns it into audio. 5-10-15 minute lessons by default Easy to finish, easy to come back tomorrow. Perfect for commute, breaks and evenings. Visible sources for trust Each lesson shows 2–3 links to sources used for the content, plus your own URL if you add one. Fast Time-to-Voice Lesson 1 starts playing in about a minute, so you feel progress immediately. Key features 3-step wizard: Topic & Goal → Length & Pace → Voice & Speed. Outline preview with editable lesson titles and the ability to skip lessons. First custom lesson free – generate and listen to Lesson 1 before you pay. Chapters inside audio so you can jump between sections. Sleep timer for night-time learning. Sources panel with relevant links. Track overview with progress, total time and lesson statuses. Smart reminders based on your chosen context (commute, work break, before sleep). Mindcastly is not a substitute for official study materials or professional advice. Always use multiple sources when preparing for important exams or interviews. Subscriptions Auto-renewable plans unlock more daily messages and deeper memory. Manage or cancel in iOS settings.
