About SyncStudy
SyncStudy builds a study system from material the student already has, including notes, PDFs, Google Drive files, YouTube videos, docs and slides, organized into study spaces. Each space offers four ways to study: lessons built from the material, flashcards that return just before you would forget, Teach Back where you explain a topic out loud to find gaps, and tests with practice that adjusts to your progress. Pace, examples and practice adjust automatically, and a home view shows streaks, study time and cards due.
Exam Mode on the Pro plan runs timed mock exams and then lists what to revisit. The free plan includes three study spaces holding five materials each, ten AI credits monthly, tutor chat, teach-back and uploads up to 30 MB. Basic raises this to 15 spaces, 25 materials each, 150 credits and 50 MB uploads with lessons, flashcards, quizzes and study guides, while Pro has no set limit on spaces or materials and 350 credits a month. The site also has exam pages and free tools.
