  • LanguagePartial

    Interface English-first; study sets can be in any language a user creates.

  • PricePass

    A free tier covers the core flashcard use.

  • InfrastructurePass

A neutral study utility — useful anywhere because students supply the curriculum themselves.

Independence: Addestra builds learning products too (MathsTutor, TinkerWell). We never review or score our own, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher — how we assess fit.

What it does

What the AI actually does — 'Q-Chat', an AI tutor on the OpenAI API, generates flashcards, summaries and practice from a student's own notes.

Why it was built — A personal memorisation tool that grew into a general flashcard and study platform for students worldwide.
