The really hard part of getting ready for a deadline isn't the work. It's not knowing whether the work is working. Capra is an AI Study Coach that plans each day from your own study material and tests what actually stuck, so you can see where you'll be when it matters while there's still time to change it. Bring your own materials - the textbook, the syllabus, the website, the course, or even just the notes on your phone. Upload them as files or simply name them and Capra's AI engine will usually recognize what's important and pull out exactly what you need to study. Alternatively you can bring nothing and let Capra's AI go and find you the resources you should use to achieve your goals. A DAY, NOT A TOPIC LIST Each day Capra tells you what's on today and in what order. Each session names what to read, watch, or do from your materials, and walks you through it step by step, with hints when you're stuck and a photo check of your written work. Sessions are timed so you stop when the work is done and the app will adjust to fit your schedule. CHECKPOINTS THAT ACTUALLY STOP YOU Study sessions will frequently include quizzes or checkpoints that unlock further progression. This is the bit people tend to leave out when they plan their own revision, and it's why they walk into the exam, interview, or certification having read all the material and remembering almost none of it. REVIEW BEFORE YOU FORGET A short review each day brings back what you're closest to forgetting, as cards, quick questions, or explaining it in your own words. That is the difference between getting ready and staying ready. AN HONEST FORECAST The Memory tab shows how much of your course has stuck so far, and what you'd likely still recall on your date if you keep the plan. That estimate is a range, and it narrows as you answer real questions. The chart marks which part already happened and which part is projected. SUMMIT, YOUR COACH Summit is your AI study coach that gets access to your material, so you can consult him while you study - a question about chapter 3 in your textbook gets an answer about your chapter 3. He knows what's due tomorrow and which topics you got wrong last week. WHEN YOU MISS A DAY (AND YOU WILL) Capra will reshuffle your plan and move things around instead of asking you to. If shifting alone won't get you ready by your deadline, it will trim the least important material and tell you what it cut. You can also move, lighten, swap, or skip any session yourself, or ask Summit to rework your plan. You see what would change before it does, and you can undo it. MORE THAN ONE DEADLINE Follow up to three plans at once. Capra splits your study time between them by how close each date is and how much is left. STUDY WITH FRIENDS Add a friend and you'll each see when the other is studying, never what, and keep a streak going together. Focus while studying can quiet the apps you pick for the length of a session, using Apple's Screen Time. CAPRA PRO 7 days free, then $99.99 a year or $12.99 a month. That's US pricing; the App Store shows your local price before you confirm anything. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you switch it off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Capra at every 3 days against PrimeNote's every 2 months. PrimeNote's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
