NotesXP takes whatever you're stuck with (a 50-page PDF, a blurry photo of the whiteboard, that lecture recording you swore you'd rewatch) and turns it into notes you'll actually read. Then it helps you learn them. No account. No setup. Open it and start. HOW IT FITS INTO YOUR WEEK The night before class Snap your textbook pages or drop in the PDF. You get clean, structured notes in seconds, so you walk in already knowing what the lecture is about. Right after the lecture Upload the recording or video. NotesXP transcribes it and pulls out what mattered, so your professor's ten-minute tangent doesn't end up in your notes. When something doesn't click Ask your notes. Chat with them like you'd text a friend who took the class last year. Still confusing? Turn on Gen-Z Mode and get the same idea explained the way you'd explain it. When you can't see the big picture Mind maps show how everything connects, which is usually the part textbooks forget to mention. On the bus, at the gym, on a walk Turn any set of notes into a short audio episode and listen with your phone in your pocket. The week before the exam Flashcards for the facts that keep slipping. Quick quizzes when you want a gut check. And Exam Mode when you want the real thing: a practice test built from your own notes that shows exactly where you're weak, so you stop rereading what you already know. THE SMALL STUFF - Works with photos, handwriting, PDFs, pasted text, audio and video - Your notes sync across your devices - Export to PDF and share with your study group - Study in your own language, even if your class isn't One honest thing: NotesXP won't study for you. It clears away everything that isn't studying, so the hours you put in actually count. Something broken, or an idea you want to see? Email us at team@notesxp.app. We read every message.
