Your notes in. Flashcards out. Done for today. StudyLess turns your own class material into study notes and flashcards in one deck, then shows you what to review each day and when you're done. MAKE A DECK FROM YOUR MATERIAL Take a photo of your notes, choose photos or a PDF, or paste text. StudyLess writes the notes and the flashcards from what you add. Add more material later and the deck grows with it. STUDY NOTES, WRITTEN FOR YOU Read one clear document made from your material: the topics in order, key ideas, common mistakes and anything your material flags for the test, plus key terms and a recap. With Pro, ask for it longer, shorter or simpler, or turn it into a visual overview: your notes illustrated on one page. REVIEW WHAT'S DUE, THEN YOU'RE DONE Try to recall each answer, reveal it, then rate how it went: Again, Hard, Good or Easy. Spaced repetition uses your ratings to schedule the next review. Home shows what's due now and what comes back later today, and tells you when today's reviews are finished. Stop any time and pick up where you left off. STUCK? ASK YOUR NOTES Chat with your deck. The chat knows your notes, your material and your cards, and it can suggest new or better flashcards. Nothing changes until you apply it. ADD A TEST DATE WHEN YOU HAVE ONE Start before a test is announced. When you know the date, add it to a deck or a folder and your reviews are planned toward it. Ordinary review continues after the test. MORE WAYS TO STUDY • Practice tests from your deck: multiple choice, short answer, essay or mixed, with feedback on your answers. • Podcast episodes that talk through your notes (Pro). Works on iPhone and iPad. In English and Korean. No ads. FREE AND PRO Free: 1 new deck a month (its notes and flashcards), 5 chat questions a day and 1 practice test a month.
