About

Psyche

Features
Read full description

Study Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud through short, carefully attributed lessons. Psyche keeps each thinker on his own terms. Follow separate learning paths through Jung's account of the psyche, archetypes, dreams, psychological types, individuation, and more, alongside Freud's account of the unconscious, dreams, slips, drives, psychic conflict, and civilization. Each session focuses on one idea and combines concise explanation with examples, visual models, varied exercises, misconception checks, and a practical summary. Your path remembers your progress so you can return without losing the thread. Psyche is designed for learning, not labeling. It does not diagnose you, interpret your experiences, or reduce psychological theories to a personality quiz. Features: • Separate Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud courses • Short sessions designed for focused study • Visual explanations for difficult concepts • Varied checks that test understanding rather than trivia • A structured learning path with progress and streaks • No ads or social feed Psyche is an educational app. It is not therapy, diagnosis, crisis support, or mental-health advice.

About

PyLearn

Features
Read full description

Real Python, running on your phone. Not quizzes about Python — an editor, an interpreter, and tests that check what your code actually did. Every lesson gives you a problem, a code editor and a Run button. You write Python, run it, and see the output and the failing tests. The interpreter is real CPython, bundled inside the app, so it works on a plane, on the underground, and anywhere else with no signal. WHAT IS IN IT • 12 courses, 108 lessons, from your first variable to shipping an AI system • 27 quizzes and 6 capstone projects, graded against hidden tests • 12 cheatsheets for the things nobody remembers • 12 badges, XP and a streak, for the days when momentum is the hard part THE PATH Start with Python Basics: variables, loops, conditionals, functions. Then data structures, functions and objects, files and errors, data analysis, APIs and async. Then the part most courses stop before: LLM APIs and prompting, structured output and tool calling, embeddings and vector search, RAG systems, agents and tool use, and evals and shipping. Real practice with the things AI engineering is actually made of. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED The app opens and works with no sign-up. Make an account only if you want your progress on more than one device — it syncs when there is a connection and waits patiently when there is not. BUILT FOR A PHONE • A code editor with line numbers, syntax highlighting and a punctuation row, because semicolons and brackets are miserable on a phone keyboard • Adjustable text size everywhere, including inside code • Hints when you are stuck and a worked solution when you have had enough • Dark and light, and it respects the size you read at Python runs entirely on your device — no server executes your code. Signed out, nothing you write leaves the phone at all. With an account, your work syncs so you can carry on somewhere else, and the tutor sees the lesson and your code in order to answer questions about them.
