About

StudyLess

Everything you need to study. Notes, flashcards and a daily plan from your own class. StudyLess is an AI flashcard maker and study notes app. Add a PDF, photos of your class notes or pasted text, and it writes your study notes and flashcards, then uses spaced repetition to show what to review each day. With StudyLess Pro you can also record a lecture, listen to your notes as a podcast and see them as a visual overview. MAKE FLASHCARDS FROM YOUR CLASS Take a photo of a page, choose photos or a PDF, or paste text: as much as one topic needs. StudyLess turns it into a deck, one place for that topic's notes and flashcards. The cards are drawn from your material and follow its order. Paste a vocab list and you get vocabulary flashcards. Edit any card or delete the ones you don't need. New material makes a new deck. STUDY NOTES FROM YOUR MATERIAL Your notes arrive as one clear document, with your sources a tap away. Want them different? Ask for a rewrite: shorter, simpler, longer, or anything you describe. Undo brings back the version before. A DAILY STUDY PLAN WITH SPACED REPETITION Home shows what to review today. Try to recall the answer, turn the card over, then rate it Again, Hard, Good or Easy. FSRS, an open-source spaced repetition algorithm, uses your ratings to schedule each card's next review. Once everything due today is reviewed, StudyLess tells you you're done for the day. Stop whenever you need to and pick up where you left off. Your streak counts the days you study. EXAM PREP AND PRACTICE TESTS Start before a test is announced. When you know the date, add it to a deck or a folder: cards that need it come back before exam day, and ordinary review carries on afterwards. Take a practice test made from your deck, in multiple choice, short answer, essay or mixed, timed or untimed, and get feedback on your answers. Practice mode lets you run through any card off the schedule. PRO TOOLS โ€ข Record a lecture: the transcript appears as you listen, and the class becomes notes and flashcards. โ€ข Podcast: your notes as an episode in two AI voices. Pick a deep dive, a quiz you answer out loud, or a brief of about five minutes, in English or Korean. โ€ข Visual overview: your notes drawn as one picture. ASK ABOUT YOUR NOTES The chat knows the deck's notes, sources and cards. Ask it to explain something, or to suggest new or better flashcards. It changes your deck only when you apply its suggestion. ALSO INCLUDED Keep decks in folders, get daily reminders, switch to dark mode, send a classmate a copy of a deck, or export your data. Works on iPhone and iPad. In English and Korean. No ads. FREE AND PRO Free: 1 new deck a month (its notes and flashcards), 2 notes rewrites a month, 5 chat questions a day and 1 practice test a month. Reviewing what you've made is free and unlimited, and so are practice mode, exam dates and folders. StudyLess Pro adds lecture recording, podcasts and visual overviews, with as many decks, rewrites, chat questions and practice tests as you need, within the fair-use limits in our Terms. During a free trial those limits are lower. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: in the US, $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or $9.99 a month. Prices vary by country; the App Store shows yours, in your currency, before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free trial ends, or at confirmation of purchase without a trial. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings. StudyLess uses AI, which can get things wrong. Check your notes and cards against your material.
