Snap your notes. Capy turns them into smart notes, quizzes and flashcards. You remember. The friendliest AI study app on your phone. Drop in a PDF or a photo of your notes, and in seconds Capy gives you three ways to make the material stick. One upload. Three ways to study. - Smart notes. A clean, organized version of your material, built only from what's in your notes. Nothing made up. Perfect for a quick read before class. - Quiz. Multiple-choice questions with an explanation for every answer. The ones you miss come back until you've got them. - Flashcards. Tap to flip, swipe to sort. "Got it" or "Didn't get it," and Capy brings back the ones you missed. Study like it's a game. - Earn XP for every quiz and flashcard session and level up. - Keep your daily streak alive. Capy keeps score. - Climb the weekly leaderboard and make the top 3 podium. Resets every Monday. - Capy cheers your right answers, and every finished session ends with a little celebration. Go for a perfect score. Three steps. Then it's a habit. 1. Snap or upload. Photos, PDFs, screenshots, handwritten notes. No typing required. 2. Pick your mode. Read the smart notes, take the quiz or run the flashcards. 3. It sticks. Missed questions come back, mastery fills up, and your streak brings you back tomorrow. Built for any subject. Biology, history, law, finance, nursing, languages, MCAT, NCLEX, bar exam, SAT. If it's in your notes, Capy can quiz you on it. And it stays in your language: notes in Spanish, quiz in Spanish. Capy's not just cute. He's backed by science. Active recall is one of the most researched study techniques there is. In a 2006 study by Roediger and Karpicke, students who reread a text remembered 40 percent of it a week later. Students who quizzed themselves remembered 61 percent. StudyCapy is built on that idea: less rereading, more remembering. A better way to study. If you're tired of typing flashcards by hand, study apps that feel like homework, or rereading notes that go in one eye and out the other, StudyCapy is the calm, friendly alternative. Snap, study, remember. Study less. Remember more. Five minutes a day. One capybara who remembers everything for you. Your first note is free. Subscription required for unlimited notes.
