Poncho vs FocusQuill

Poncho turns the minutes you were about to lose scrolling into a review of your own notes. It blocks your distracting apps and shows you a flashcard instead. You study at the exact moment you were about to procrastinate. Snap a photo of your notes or type a topic, and AI builds your flashcards in seconds. BLOCK WHAT STEALS YOUR TIME You pick which apps to block: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whichever you want. When you open one, a study card appears instead of the app. Review one point, and only then it unlocks. YOUR NOTES, NOT GENERIC CONTENT Take up to 60 photos of handwritten or printed notes. Poncho reads the text on its own and builds the cards. Don't have your notes with you? Type the topic and you're set. 4 HOURS OF SCREEN TIME = 120 REVIEWS That's how long the average person spends on their phone on an ordinary day. Poncho turns it into spaced repetition — without you ever sitting down to study. IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE STUDYING No hour-long sessions, no lectures. It's ten seconds each time you were about to open a social app. By the end of the day you've reviewed more than you would have in a library — by accident.

SUBJECTS WITH WEEKLY STUDY GOALS - Create a subject for every class, module, or topic you are revising. - Set a weekly study-hours goal and see how close you are at a glance. - Per-subject totals show which courses get your time and which need more.
