StudySense is an AI study app that turns notes and PDFs into flashcards in seconds, schedules reviews with SM-2 spaced repetition, and lets you practice 13 languages out loud with Sage, your AI language tutor. Free to start.
01 / How it works
From a pile of notes to things you actually remember, in three steps.
STEP 01
Upload a PDF, a Word doc, or a photo of your notes. Paste lecture notes, or just name a topic. StudySense pulls out the ideas that matter, the way a good tutor would.
STEP 02
Cards stream in as the AI reads, grouped by heading. Edit anything before you save, ask for more cards, or turn the deck into a full course with lessons and quick checks.
STEP 03
SM-2 spaced repetition brings each card back right before you'd forget it. Cards you miss come back tomorrow, easy ones wait weeks, and a study plan paces it all toward exam day.
02 / Features
Turn PDFs and lecture notes into flashcards, remember them with spaced repetition, talk with an AI language tutor, follow AI-built courses and study plans, chat with your PDFs, and watch your progress add up. One app, one subscription.
Drop in a PDF, paste lecture notes, or describe a topic. Cards stream in one by one as the AI reads, grouped by heading and ready to edit before you save.
Rate each card Again, Hard, Good, or Easy and see exactly when it comes back. The SM-2 algorithm keeps the schedule, so you never have to.
Hold the mic and speak. Sage answers out loud, and every word lights up as she says it, so your eyes and ears learn together.
Turn any deck into lessons with worked examples, quick checks, and a Bronze, Silver, or Gold badge at the end.
Pick your decks, your study days, and a target date. StudySense spreads the work across the calendar so you cover everything in time.
Upload a PDF and ask "Quiz me on chapter 3." Answers stay grounded in your document and point to the passage they came from.
Multiple choice, true or false, and open answers graded by AI. When the test is close, sit a timed mock exam and get a graded review.

03 / The science
Because memory fades on a schedule. Review something right as it starts to slip and it comes back stronger, so the gaps between reviews can stretch from days to weeks. It is one of the most tested ideas in learning research.
The forgetting curve, 30 days
1885
Hermann Ebbinghaus tested his own memory for years and found that new material slips away fast without review, with most of the loss in the first few days.
Ebbinghaus, H. (1885). Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology.2006
A review of 317 experiments found that spreading study sessions out leads to better long-term recall than packing the same study time into one sitting.
Cepeda, Pashler, Vul, Wixted & Rohrer (2006). Psychological Bulletin, 132(3).2006
Students who practiced recalling a passage remembered more of it a week later than students who spent the same time rereading it.
Roediger & Karpicke (2006). Psychological Science, 17(3).StudySense schedules every review with SM-2, the spaced repetition algorithm Piotr Woźniak created for SuperMemo in 1987, and every flashcard is a small recall test. Spacing and testing, working together, on every card you make.
04 / Language tutor
Sage adapts to your level, corrects mistakes as you make them, and keeps the conversation going, so you learn by talking instead of memorizing lists. Type your replies, or hold the mic and say them out loud.
You said
Ayer yo iba al tienda para comprar comida.
Sage
You got your point across. Here it is, polished:
Ayer yo Instead of iba, say fui Instead of al, say a la tienda para comprar comida.
05 / Who it's for
Lecture notes become flashcards and a day-by-day study plan. Timed mock exams show you what's still shaky before the real test does.
Talk to Sage in 13 languages, out loud or in writing. Mistakes get corrected in the moment, and new words become flashcards.
Turn dense guides and manuals into courses you can actually finish, then ask your documents questions when you get stuck.
06 / Compare
Each of them does one thing well. StudySense puts AI flashcards, spaced repetition, a voice tutor, courses, and study plans in one app.
If you want AI flashcard generation and real spaced repetition in one place, StudySense is built for exactly that. Unlike Quizlet, it schedules every review with the SM-2 algorithm based on how well you know each card, so you spend less time on what you already know and more on what you don’t.
Unlike Anki, you don’t need to make every card by hand. Upload a PDF, paste your lecture notes, snap a photo, or describe a topic, and AI writes question-and-answer pairs in seconds, organized by heading. Any deck can then become a structured course with lessons and quick checks, or a study plan that paces your reviews toward exam day.
And unlike Duolingo, Sage holds open-ended conversations. Practice Spanish, French, Arabic, English, or any of 13 languages: type your replies or say them out loud, and Sage answers by voice, corrects your grammar in the moment, and turns the new words you meet into flashcards.

StudySense is an AI-powered study app that helps you learn faster and retain knowledge longer. It turns your notes and documents into flashcards, uses spaced repetition (SM-2 algorithm) to schedule reviews at optimal intervals, provides an AI language tutor called Sage for text and voice conversation practice in 13 languages, generates quizzes and structured courses from your material, and builds study plans that pace your revision toward an exam date. Built for students, language learners, and professionals who want an efficient, science-backed approach to learning.
Upload a document or a photo of your notes and StudySense uses AI to extract key concepts and create question-answer flashcard pairs automatically. The AI identifies important terms, definitions, and relationships in your content, then generates cards organized by topic. You can review, edit, or regenerate any card before saving. Cards are automatically categorized by document headings so you can study specific sections.
Yes. Upload a PDF, a Word document (DOCX), a text or Markdown file, or a JPG or PNG photo of your notes, up to 10 MB, and StudySense turns it into a flashcard deck in seconds. You can also paste text, or type any topic and let the AI build cards from what it already knows. Every card can be edited before you save the deck, and you can ask for more cards from the same source.
Spaced repetition is a scientifically proven learning technique that schedules reviews at increasing intervals based on how well you know each card. StudySense uses the SM-2 algorithm to calculate optimal review timing. Cards you find difficult appear more frequently, while cards you know well are shown less often. This targets the forgetting curve directly, helping you retain information in long-term memory with minimal study time.
Sage, the AI language tutor, supports 13 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic, Russian, Turkish, and Hindi. You can practice conversational scenarios like ordering at a cafe, job interviews, airport navigation, travel situations, and business meetings. Sage provides real-time corrections, vocabulary suggestions, and a rephrase feature to help you express ideas more naturally.
Yes, StudySense offers a generous free plan that includes 5 flashcard decks, 5 AI generations per month, 3 language tutor sessions per month (15 minutes each), 10 document chat questions per month, 1 AI-generated course per month, 1 active study plan, multiple-choice and true/false quizzes, streak and XP tracking, and access to all 13 supported languages. Paid plans (Pro at $6.99/month, Sensei at $9.99/month) unlock more decks, AI generations, voice tutoring, AI-optimized study plans, advanced quiz modes, and full study analytics. All paid plans include a 3-day free trial and can be cancelled anytime.
Sage is an AI-powered conversational tutor that simulates real-world scenarios in your target language. Choose a scenario (cafe, job interview, airport, travel, business, or free conversation), select your proficiency level, and start chatting. Sage responds naturally in your target language, corrects grammar mistakes in real-time, highlights vocabulary words, and offers a rephrase button that suggests more natural ways to express your message. At the end of each session, you can save vocabulary words as flashcards.
StudySense uses a persistent local cache powered by Firebase, so your flashcard decks, cards, and study data are available on your device even without an internet connection. You can review existing flashcards and continue study sessions offline. AI-powered features (card generation, language tutor, document chat) require an internet connection since they communicate with our cloud-based AI service.
All data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore with authentication-scoped access controls, meaning no one else can read or modify your data. Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest by Google Cloud. AI requests are processed through our secure server-side proxy and never sent directly from your browser to third-party APIs. You can export or permanently delete all your data at any time from the Settings page.
AI-generated courses turn any flashcard deck into a structured multi-lesson curriculum. The AI creates an outline with pedagogical ordering, then generates lesson content with exposition, worked examples, comprehension checks, and skill assessments. You earn Bronze, Silver, or Gold skill badges based on your comprehension score. Courses are available on Pro and Sensei plans, with the free tier including 1 course per month.
Yes. Sage has a voice mode: hold the mic button, speak in your target language, and Sage replies out loud, with the transcript highlighted word by word as she speaks. Corrections work the same as in text mode, so you get grammar and word-choice feedback on what you actually said. Voice tutoring is included in paid plans (Pro: 120 minutes per month, Sensei: 300 minutes per month), and every plan includes unlimited-length typed conversations with the same tutor.
Yes. StudySense includes a built-in study plan generator: pick the decks you need to learn, the weekdays you can study, and a target date, and it spreads reviews across a day-by-day study schedule so you cover everything before the exam. Every plan tracks its own streak and recovers gracefully when you miss a day. The free plan includes 1 active study plan. Pro adds AI-optimized plans that weight your weakest cards, insert quiz and tutor checkpoints, and can replan the remaining days on demand.
StudySense combines what each does best and adds AI throughout. Unlike Quizlet, it schedules reviews with the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm, so you review each card right before you would forget it. Unlike Anki, you don’t have to author cards by hand. AI generates decks from PDFs and lecture notes in seconds. And neither offers an AI language tutor with voice conversations or AI-generated courses, both built into StudySense alongside study plans that pace all your decks toward an exam date.
Yes. StudySense is available as a native app for iPhone and iPad on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. Both use the same account as the web app, so your decks, courses, study plans, and progress stay in sync across devices. Both apps work offline for reviews and include voice conversations with Sage, and on Android you can turn on push reminders for due cards and streaks.
Your first AI deck takes about a minute. Start free, no credit card needed.
