From Static Notes to Smart Studying
Leverage the power of cognitive science by converting your existing study documents into dynamic, intelligent learning tools.
Universal Document Ingestion
Upload notes originally taken in GoodNotes 5, including annotated PDFs, PowerPoint exports, or image files. Our system extracts core concepts ready for review.
Optimized Spaced Repetition
Cards are scheduled using proven learning algorithms. Review items just before you forget them, ensuring long-term memory retention without burnout.
Deadline-Driven Scheduling
Set your target exam date, and the system intelligently paces your reviews backward from that deadline, maximizing efficiency during crunch time.
Effortless Sharing
Instantly share comprehensive study sets with classmates or study groups via a simple, public link, ensuring everyone studies the same high-quality material.
Your Study Workflow, Automated in Three Steps
Transforming complex documents into focused review sessions takes minutes, not hours, allowing you to focus purely on learning.

Set your desired exam date or use default settings. Begin your spaced repetition sessions immediately to solidify knowledge.
Smart Conversion for Digital Note Takers
Creating GoodNotes 5 flashcards using manual methods is time-consuming and often leads to lower recall rates due to poorly structured questions. Our AI bypasses this inefficiency entirely by analyzing the underlying text and structure of your uploaded documents. This ensures that the resulting flashcards support genuine active recall, the process of actively retrieving information from memory, which is superior to passive re-reading of your handwritten or typed notes.
- Automated extraction of key definitions and facts.
- Creating study schedules based on cognitive load.
- Efficient use of study time for high-stakes exams.
- Converting lecture slides into effective practice questions.
- Sharing verified study aids easily with collaborators.
By integrating directly with the output format of popular study apps like GoodNotes, we bridge the gap between note-taking and effective long-term memory encoding. This specialized approach respects the effort you put into organizing your material within the app and elevates that organization into a powerful study methodology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers regarding file compatibility and the learning process.
Can I upload my handwritten notes from GoodNotes 5?
Yes, provided the notes are exported as a clear PDF or image file. Our system can process optically recognized text within those exports to generate accurate cards.
Is this tool completely free to use?
The core functionality is free, allowing you to convert documents and use spaced repetition. A paid plan is available for users requiring higher monthly credit limits.
How does spaced repetition improve learning compared to cramming?
Spaced repetition schedules reviews at increasing intervals, optimizing for long-term retention by forcing recall just as memory begins to fade, which is significantly more effective than last-minute review.
Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?
Currently, the focus is on rapid, high-quality generation. You select the best cards to keep, but direct editing of the generated Q&A pairs is not yet a standard feature.
