Learn Anything: LaoshiAI helps you study with the Feynman Technique: explain an idea simply, find what you do not understand yet, then rebuild the explanation until it is clear. Capture a lecture, paste a topic, upload a document, or add a YouTube link. LaoshiAI turns the source into beginner-friendly Smart Notes that define terms, connect ideas, and explain why each concept matters. Instead of giving you dense summaries, LaoshiAI helps you understand the topic well enough to teach it back. Use LaoshiAI to: - Create Feynman-style notes from audio, PDFs, text, photos, and videos. - Break complex ideas into simple explanations and concrete examples. - Review key concepts with flashcards, quizzes, transcripts, translations, and mind maps. - Ask follow-up questions when a note is unclear. - Build a library of topics you can revisit before class, exams, meetings, or self-study sessions. The goal is simple: learn anything by explaining it clearly. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Field Guide

Most facts go in one ear and out the other. Field Guide is built so they don't. Each lesson takes two or three minutes and follows a simple loop proven to build memory: you predict an answer first, you get taught one clear idea, then you're quizzed on it. Guessing before you learn is the trick that makes it stick. Then spaced review brings each lesson back days later, right before you'd forget, so it moves into long-term memory instead of fading by tomorrow. WHAT'S INSIDE Hundreds of lessons across science, history, money, health, art, engineering and more A predict โ†’ teach โ†’ check loop that's actually fun Spaced review that schedules itself A streak to keep you honest Clean, calm, no-fluff design. No ads, no clutter. Browse by subject, get a fresh lesson each day, or hit Random and learn something new right now. Field Guide works fully offline, and new lessons arrive automatically.
