Studious: the app that doesn't stop at making the flashcards
Every AI study tool does the same trick. You feed it a lecture, it hands you a stack of flashcards, and then it's done. The hard part — actually sitting down and learning the material, on a schedule, before the test — is still entirely your problem.
Studious closes that loop. Generate, study, plan, all in one app that knows what you're working on and what's coming up.
Start from whatever you already have
You don't need to prepare anything. Paste a YouTube lecture link. Upload the recording of the class you sat through. Drop in a PDF, paste an article URL, or just dump your own messy notes.
Studious turns any of it into flashcards, a practice quiz, a summary, or a study guide — and you can remix the same source into a different format whenever you want, without uploading it again. Made flashcards and now want to test yourself? One click. The source is already there.
Got a class in Google Classroom? Connect it and Studious can pull your coursework straight in. It'll always ask which source you want to prep from rather than guessing for you.
Then actually study it
This is the half everyone else skips.
Flashcards run on Leitner-style spaced repetition, so the cards you keep missing come back sooner and the ones you've locked in get out of your way. Your review queue is always the right size, and it's always the right cards.
Match is a timed pairing game for any deck, with a saved best time you'll want to beat. It turns a review session into something you'll do for ten more minutes than you meant to.
Practice quizzes cover multiple-choice and short answer, and the short answers are AI-graded — which means it accepts your paraphrase instead of demanding you reproduce the textbook word for word. You get credit for understanding the idea, because that's the thing being tested.
A tutor that makes you do the thinking
The AI Tutor is Socratic on purpose. Ask it something and it asks you a guiding question back, working from your actual study material rather than the whole internet. It gets you to the answer instead of vending it, which is the difference between reading a solution and knowing how to solve the next one.
There's a second tutor living on the Planner, and this one has hands. Tell it "I have a bio midterm on the 14th and I want three sessions before it," and it asks what it needs to know, then puts the exam and the study blocks on your calendar itself.
Plans that survive contact with a real week
The Planner is a big visual month calendar built for exams, one-off study sessions, and weekly recurring blocks — the three things a term actually consists of.
Connect Google Calendar and your real schedule overlays the grid, so you're planning around practice and your shift, not into an empty rectangle. Anything you add — or the tutor adds — syncs back out automatically, with reminders attached, so it shows up on your phone like every other commitment you keep.
The Google connection uses client-side OAuth. Your calendar tokens never sit on a server.
Progress you can see
Open the app and the first thing you get is evidence you're doing the work: your streak, your XP and level, a 14-day activity chart, and exactly how many cards are due right now.
Not a blank form waiting for input. A scoreboard that's already got your name on it, and one obvious next thing to do.
Plus the things that make it yours
Dark mode. Anki-compatible export, so your decks are portable and your work is never trapped. Full backup and restore. Studious runs free on the Student plan, with Scholar for people who want to push the limits up.
Studious is one app for the entire distance — from "I have this lecture and a test on Friday" to "I've actually studied it." Bold, fast, and built to make the studying part the easy part.
