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.

About

Exam Creator

Read full description

An exam-writing and typesetting tool for STEM teachers — and for students building their own practice papers. The questions, the exam paper and the PDF are all produced on your iPhone or iPad. Typesetting Is Built In The app carries a complete LaTeX typesetting engine and the fonts it needs, so it still sets a paper as an A4 PDF in airplane mode. Equations, tables, answer grids, headers and footers, a long proof that runs across a page break — the typesetting engine lays all of it out. Nothing here is a web page printed to PDF. A Question Bank You Reuse Questions live in the bank, filed under six levels: domain, subject, course, chapter, section, topic. Filter them by difficulty, question type, tags, source, academic year, or which paper they have already appeared on. This year’s paper is next year’s starting point: duplicate it, swap out a few questions, leave the rest. Questions From Your Own Material Paste your key points, import a PDF, or photograph the board or your own handouts. PDFs and photos are sent once, at import, to the AI service you chose, which reads them; the app then splits the text that comes back into passages on the device, retrieves what fits, and writes questions from that. Each question records the document and the page it drew from, so you can check it on the spot. Solutions Generate solutions only for the questions that do not have one, or redo a single question on its own — changing one question does not mean paying for the whole paper again. The solutions can be in a different language from the paper, and you can add a standing instruction of your own, such as “end each one with the mistake students usually make”. Sixteen Languages Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Indonesian. The header wording printed on the paper follows. Before export, the app checks that the fonts can actually draw every character on the paper. If one is missing, the export stops and names the character and the question it sits in. It does not print blanks. Handoff to AI Grader Pro The exported PDF carries four alignment squares and a QR code on every page, and the answer region coordinates are measured while typesetting and written into the file. AI Grader Pro crops straight to them and grades. Your Data Stays Yours No account, no cloud sync. The AI features use your own API key, and the key is kept in the system Keychain on this device. You can also point the app at an Ollama or LM Studio you run yourself, in which case nothing leaves your own network. Without AI, nothing needs a network: picking from the bank, writing your own questions and typesetting the PDF all happen on the device. Only the AI features go online — importing material sends the PDF or photos you attach, and generating sends the request for questions. Subscription Writing questions, the question bank, typesetting, and the full preview are free and unlimited. The only thing that needs a subscription is taking the finished paper out — saving it as a PDF, printing it, or sharing it. The subscription comes with a 14-day free trial. Pro Monthly · Pro Yearly Your local price is shown in the app and on this page. The subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your App Store account settings. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Questions are still generated with your own API key, and the provider bills you for that directly, as it always has. The subscription does not cover those charges. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
