Learn
Study with Ysra — notebooks made from your course files, cards with a daily review, practice exams that mark your answers, topics learned step by step, and a tutor that gives hints before answers.
On this page
Learn turns Ysra into a tutor. Give it your course files and it makes a notebook you can study from: a guide for each chapter, cards to review every day, and practice exams that mark your answers against the course. Or name a topic, and Ysra plans short sessions that take you from what you already know to solid. This page is for students, and for anyone learning something new for work.
Open Learn from the rail in the web app or the desktop app. The phone app doesn't have Learn.

Get started in three steps#
Upload your course files#
Put your lecture notes, slides or textbook chapters in Library → Files, or upload them straight into a new notebook. PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files, pictures and text files all work. See Files you can upload.
Make a notebook#
In Learn, choose New notebook. Give it a Name (for example Thermodynamics S3), optionally a Subject and your Level, pick its Course files, and choose Make the notebook.
Study a chapter#
Open the notebook and pick a chapter. Write its Guide to read it, make its Cards to review it, and take a Practice exam to test yourself. Come back each day to Review now.
How Ysra keeps to your course#
- Everything cites the page. Guides, cards and exam corrections point to the file and page they come from, so you can check them against your course.
- Only what's on the page. When a point or a term can't be found on the page it claims to come from, Ysra leaves it out rather than guess.
- Your level. Explanations follow the level you set for the notebook.
What it costs#
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| A chapter's Guide | About 1–3 |
| A chapter's Cards | About 1–3 |
| A Practice exam | About 2–5 |
| Reviewing cards, and the daily reminder | Free |
