# Recappy: AI Study Companion That Turns Notes into Quizzes, Flashcards & Mindmaps

> Recappy is a free iOS app that uses AI to instantly convert handwritten notes, documents, and YouTube lectures into interactive quizzes, flashcards, and mindmaps. Its mascot is Cappy the Capybara.

## Problem Recappy Solves

Students waste hours re-reading notes — a study method that research consistently shows is ineffective. Active recall (testing yourself) and spaced repetition are proven to be far more effective for long-term retention. But creating flashcards and quizzes manually takes too long, so most students don't do it.

Recappy eliminates that friction entirely. Take a photo, get study materials. No typing, no manual card creation, no wasted time.

## What Recappy Does

Recappy takes study materials in any format — photos of handwritten notes, uploaded PDFs, screenshots, or YouTube lecture URLs — and uses AI vision models to generate study materials in seconds. Unlike Quizlet or Anki, users don't manually create flashcards. The AI handles everything.

## Core Features

### Photo-to-Quiz (Core Feature)
Snap a photo of handwritten notes, a textbook page, lecture slides, or any printed material. Recappy's AI vision model reads the content and generates interactive multiple-choice quizzes in under 10 seconds.

### YouTube Import
Paste any YouTube lecture URL. Recappy extracts the lecture content and generates quizzes, flashcards, and mindmaps from it. Turn a 2-hour lecture into a 10-minute study session.

### Document Upload
Upload PDFs and documents directly into Recappy for AI processing.

### Multi-Format Output
From a single source (photo, document, or YouTube link), Recappy generates:
- Interactive multiple-choice quizzes with scoring
- Flashcards for quick review
- Visual mindmaps for understanding relationships between concepts

### AI Explanations
After answering a quiz question, get AI-generated explanations for why the correct answer is right and why other options are wrong.

### Spaced Repetition
Built-in spaced repetition algorithm ensures you review material at optimal intervals for long-term retention.

### Handwriting Support
Recappy's AI vision models can read handwritten notes as long as they are reasonably legible. Works with cursive, print, and mixed handwriting styles.
