TocArc turns classroom recordings into a private, evidence-backed learning library. RECORD WITH CONFIDENCE Start a class in one tap, pause and resume safely, add meaningful time markers, and keep the original audio as your source of truth. Recording remains independent from network access, iCloud, and AI readiness. LEARN WITH ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE On supported devices, TocArc creates transcripts, translations, structured learning materials, and evidence-backed answers using Apple system technologies. Your classroom audio, transcripts, prompts, and generated materials are not sent to third-party AI services or Private Cloud Compute. RETURN TO THE EVIDENCE Search topics, materials, and classroom evidence. Every generated insight and answer can lead back to the relevant recording timestamp, so you can verify it in context. BUILD A LASTING KNOWLEDGE LIBRARY Organize classes by course, connect related topics, revisit definitions, explanations, examples, questions, assignments, and common misconceptions, and keep learning across multiple classes. MADE FOR REAL CLASSROOMS • Live Activity and Dynamic Island recording status • Optional live captions and translation • Reliable recovery after interruptions • Background post-class processing • Local playback with markers and segment details • Portable exports for audio, text, Markdown, JSON, and TocArc session packages • Optional private iCloud/CloudKit sync • English, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and Malay • VoiceOver, Larger Text, Dark Mode, Reduce Motion, and right-to-left layout support TocArc does not require a product account, does not include ads, and does not track you across apps or websites.

Stop guessing what to study. NoteLinkAI turns your classes into a semester-long study system built around your actual syllabus, lectures, deadlines, and course materials. Upload your syllabus and NoteLinkAI maps out your semester, pulls out important dates, tracks what’s coming up, and helps you see what deserves your attention next. Record a lecture or upload your notes, slides, PDFs, and other class materials. NoteLinkAI uses what your professor actually teaches to help you study the right material instead of giving you generic AI answers. WHAT NOTELINKAI HELPS YOU DO 1. MAP OUT YOUR SEMESTER See exams, assignments, deadlines, and important course details in one place. 2. KNOW WHAT TO STUDY NEXT Stop wasting time deciding where to start. NoteLinkAI helps surface what matters based on your classes and what’s coming up. 3. CATCH WHAT YOU MIGHT MISS Keep track of course details, upcoming deadlines, and material that can easily get buried across syllabi, lectures, and files. 4. STUDY FROM YOUR PROFESSOR’S MATERIAL Your lectures, slides, syllabus, and uploads become the context behind your study experience. 5. TURN CLASS CONTENT INTO STUDY TOOLS Create study guides, flashcards, and quizzes from the material you’re actually responsible for learning. 6. PRACTICE BEFORE THE EXAM Quiz yourself, answer in your own words, and review where you need more work. 7. KEEP LECTURES ORGANIZED Record or upload lectures, review them later, and keep everything connected to the right course. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE SEMESTER NoteLinkAI is not just another AI tool that makes a flashcard set and disappears. It is designed to connect the pieces of your academic life together: what your professor said, what the syllabus says, what’s due next, what you’ve studied, and what still needs attention. The goal is simple: spend less time figuring out - what, when, and how to study, and more time actually doing it. Start with one class. Upload the syllabus. Add your lectures and materials. NoteLinkAI handles the organization around them so your semester makes more sense at a glance. Your classes. Your professors. Your semester. One place. Subscription: NoteLinkAI Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings.
