- Import anything: a YouTube link, an arXiv / PubMed / DOI paper, a web article, or a multi-chapter book pulled in and made studyable.
- Instant study packs: transcripts, summaries, structured notes, flashcards, key concepts, and mind maps generated from the source.
- A grounded AI tutor: chat with a tutor that answers from the actual document via retrieval (RAG). Use on-device Apple Intelligence, or bring your own key: Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and more via OpenRouter.
- Think it through: a built-in Excalidraw canvas, a notebook, and animated (Manim) explainers.
- Download or stream: keep media offline in a searchable library, or stream it each item carries its study pack.
- Local-first & private: your library, notes, and API keys stay on your Mac. No account, no tracking, no servers.
Stack
SwiftUI + MVVM on SwiftData. On-device generation uses Apple’s Foundation Models; cloud models route through an OpenAI-compatible client with keys held only in the Keychain. Retrieval uses on-device embeddings (VecturaKit). yt-dlp and a universal ffmpeg ship as bundled, hardened-runtime-signed binaries. Auto-updates via Sparkle.
