The QuickStudy Library: four study sets with due counts and progress, filtered by All, Due, In progress, and Mastered.

How it works

Three steps. Under a minute.

  1. Capture your source

    Snap your notes.

    Scan pages with the camera, including handwritten notes. Import photos and PDFs, or paste text from anywhere.

    The New set sheet: Scan with camera, marked Fastest · recommended, above Photo, PDF, and Text.
  2. We draft your cards

    Check every card against your notes.

    Drafts are kept by default. Tap a card to edit it or swipe left to remove it. Each card shows which page and paragraph it came from.

  3. Study smart, daily

    Study only what's due today.

    Spaced repetition surfaces what you need next.

    Today's session card: 9 cards · 4 min, with a Start Session button.

    Quiz yourself.

    Quizzes are multiple choice, built from your saved cards.

    A multiple-choice question, What is Deference?, with answer C selected and a Submit button.

    Know why each answer is right.

    Each question includes a “Why?” explanation tied to your source.

    The correct answer, marked CORRECT, followed by a Why explanation.

    Learn from every mistake.

    Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know come back less often.

    A wrong answer marked YOUR ANSWER above the correct answer, a Why explanation, and the note: We'll surface this one again tomorrow.

    Build a daily study habit.

    Your streak counts the days you finish a session. You earn a Streak Freeze for every seven days you study, and one is used automatically when you miss a day.

    Session complete: a 1 day streak, 9 cards, 8 correct, 89% accuracy, and one card that needs reinforcement.

Privacy

Private by default.

Your notes and cards stay on your device unless you choose to generate cards in the cloud.

  • No accounts.No sign-up and no login.
  • Works offline.Scanning, on-device card generation, practice, quizzes, and streaks all work offline.
  • Cloud generation needs your permission.Text leaves your device only after you allow it. Apple's Private Cloud Compute keeps nothing, and Anthropic, which drafts on QuickStudy's server, deletes it within 30 days.
  • No tracking or ads.QuickStudy doesn't track you across apps or websites and contains no advertising or third-party analytics SDKs.

QuickStudy can send anonymous usage counts. They're off unless you turn them on in Settings › Share anonymous usage.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What do I need to run QuickStudy?

iOS 26 or later on iPhone. On-device card generation uses Apple Foundation Models, which needs a device that supports Apple Intelligence with Apple Intelligence turned on. On other devices you can still type your own cards or generate them with QuickStudy Pro.

Where is my data stored?

Your documents, cards, and study history are stored on your device. If you use iCloud Backup, iOS includes QuickStudy in that backup the same way it does any other app.

Delete a set inside the app to remove it, use Settings › Delete All Study Sets, or uninstall QuickStudy to remove everything.

When does my text leave my device?

Only when you use cloud generation. QuickStudy asks for permission first, and if you tap “Not now” your cards are drafted on your device instead.

When you allow it, the text you’re generating from goes to one of two places. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, it can go to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, which doesn’t keep it. With QuickStudy Pro, or for your free cloud set on other iPhones, it goes to QuickStudy’s server, where Anthropic’s Claude drafts the cards. QuickStudy’s server doesn’t store your text, and Anthropic deletes it within 30 days. Neither uses it to train AI models. The privacy policy has the details.

How much does it cost?

QuickStudy is free to download. Your first set is drafted in the cloud for free (if you allow it), and after that you get 10 free on-device generations every month. They reset on the 1st.

QuickStudy Pro is optional. Current prices are shown in the app and on the App Store.

Can I use my own API key?

Yes. In Settings you can add a key for an OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible endpoint. It’s off by default. When it’s on, the text you generate from goes only to the provider you chose, under that provider’s terms. Your key is stored in the iOS Keychain.

Does QuickStudy collect analytics?

Only anonymous counts, like whether onboarding finished or a paywall was shown. They never include your document text, your cards, or anything that identifies you. They’re off unless you turn them on in Settings › Share anonymous usage.
