SynapseUnderstand and master forever.

You upload your materials and Synapse turns them into a visual map of what you already understand and what is still missing. It surfaces the key topics in each source, connects ideas that belong together, and removes overlap when the same concept appears more than once. You do not have to organize everything by hand; the system does that for you.

Each session surfaces the concept you most need to review right now, not the one that comes next in order. If you already know something well, you do not waste time on it. If something is about to be forgotten, it brings it back before it slips away. You decide the length - anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. It works like a personal trainer that knows when to push you and when to let you breathe.

You see your mastery level for each concept on a simple scale and watch it evolve with every session. Synapse keeps track of what you have seen, what felt difficult, and what needs reinforcement so your next step stays clear.

Synapse accepts PDF (text and scanned), images (JPG, PNG, WebP, including handwritten notes), audio (MP3, WAV, M4A), video (MP4, MOV, WebM, up to 5 min in beta), and web article URLs. Coming soon: note imports, transcript imports, and more.

Synapse runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet, and desktop, with a layout designed for mobile study sessions. Offline mode is partial: you can review content you have already loaded. The PWA app is on the roadmap and a native app will follow after the public launch.

Synapse spaces reviews according to how consistently you remember a concept. If something is solid, it steps back. If something is fading, it brings it forward before it slips. The goal is less cramming and more durable retention.

Re-reading feels productive because the material becomes more familiar, but familiarity is not the same as retention. Synapse keeps bringing you back to questions, comparisons, and explanations so learning happens when you have to recall and use the idea yourself.

Synapse measures more than simple recall. It checks whether you can explain, apply, connect, judge, and create with what you study, so progress reflects usable understanding instead of surface familiarity.

Synapse combines timely review, active practice, mixed practice, explanation, concrete examples, and text-plus-visual reinforcement. Together these make it easier to retain information and use it when it counts.

Yes. Synapse reduces forgetting by bringing ideas back before they fully fade and by asking you to use them instead of only re-reading them. The system adapts to your own response history rather than treating every topic the same way.

We are in a validation phase with a small group of people. You request access through the form at /access, and we notify you by email and on Discord when you are accepted. We prioritize people who engage with the community.

No. During the closed beta, access is completely free. Plans and pricing will be announced when we launch publicly, and you can decide then whether you want to continue.

Access to build a complete learning path with your own materials, an active study community on Discord, direct contact with the team, and real influence over upcoming features. The idea is to build Synapse together with the people who use it.

We prioritize people who join the Discord and share what they want to study. We are looking for people committed to testing the tool in a real way and giving us feedback. It is not an academic filter - it is an intention filter.

When we are ready to sustain the quality of the service at scale. We do not have a fixed date because we prefer to open well rather than open fast. We will notify you by email when we launch publicly.

No. Every answer the tutor produces is grounded in your uploaded material and passes a verification step before it reaches you. If a question falls outside what you uploaded, the tutor says so explicitly instead of guessing. Important claims are returned with the exact citation so you can open the source and verify in seconds.

No. Your files, notes, and study history are never used to train any AI model, ours or third-party. Content is processed solely to power your personal study experience and run your sessions. Your data is yours.

Files are stored encrypted in object storage with access only through short-lived signed links scoped to your account. The relational database holds concepts and progress with strict per-user isolation. We follow standard practices for encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest.

Yes. You can delete any individual file, study space, or your entire account from settings. Deletion is permanent and removes both the source material and the derived learning data from active systems within 30 days. Backups roll off on a normal cycle and are never reused.

Synapse reduces the activation cost that fuels procrastination: instead of facing a vague pile of notes, you open a 10 to 20 minute session with a precise next step decided for you. Removing decision load is one of the most reliable behavioral levers against task avoidance. The discipline is still yours, but the friction is far lower.

Yes. Familiarity from re-reading can feel like understanding until an exam exposes the gap. Synapse turns that anxiety into evidence by showing your mastery per concept across different kinds of understanding, so confidence stops being a feeling and starts being a measurement.

Synapse is designed for short, dense sessions of 10 to 20 minutes, which match the constraints of working adults and busy students. Because the system prioritizes what is closest to being forgotten and what unlocks the most downstream concepts, every minute counts more than an unstructured hour of re-reading. Consistency at small doses beats heroics on the weekend.

Visible progress is the strongest sustainable motivator, far stronger than streaks or badges alone. Synapse shows your study map filling in, mastery rising per concept, and the path to your goal shortening. The motivation comes from real evidence of growth, not arbitrary points.

Manual flashcard systems expect you to create the cards, manage the review discipline, and translate material into practice yourself. Synapse works directly from your source material, guides the practice for you, and adapts timing automatically based on your progress.

Card-based study apps focus on decks and isolated facts. Synapse works from your real source material, builds a connected study map, and guides you through adaptive sessions designed for deeper understanding.

General-purpose AI assistants answer broad questions and may not stay anchored to your materials. Synapse is built to work from what you upload, guide study sessions, and track your progress over time.

Note-taking apps with AI features are great for capturing and organizing information, but they still leave the study plan to you. Synapse is the study layer on top of your source material: it organizes the learning path, guides practice, and measures mastery over time.
