TenSteps

Read full description

TenSteps ("ten-step learning") turns any topic you want to master into a structured, doable path β€” built for you by AI, finished by you. Most tools dump information on you. TenSteps does the opposite: it runs a ten-step loop that researches first, then makes you practice, recall, and explain until the knowledge actually sticks. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Steps 1–4 Β· See the whole map: AI studies your topic from five perspectives, maps where experts disagree, and compresses it into a one-minute brief. β€’ Steps 5–7 Β· Focus on the 20% that matters: five vetted resources, a five-level skill ladder, and ten micro-lessons with quick exercises. β€’ Steps 8–10 Β· Prove you learned it: active-recall quizzes, a Feynman-style "explain it to a beginner" check, and a one-page cheat sheet you can keep forever. WHY IT WORKS β€’ Multi-perspective research β€” not one answer, but where answers conflict and why β€’ Active recall instead of re-reading β€’ The Feynman technique to expose what you only think you understand β€’ Everything compressed into a cheat sheet for the moment you need it PERFECT FOR β€’ Learning a new field for work or a project β€’ Preparing for interviews or exams β€’ Going from "I have heard of it" to "I can use it" Free to start with a welcome balance of points. Optional Plus subscription and point top-ups (via Apple In-App Purchase) unlock the full loop and more learning tasks. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Plus offers two auto-renewable subscriptions: β€’ Plus Weekly β€” 1 week β€’ Plus Monthly β€” 1 month Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. The applicable price is shown on the App Store product page and in the in-app purchase screen before you confirm.
