Over the last week, we've made some improvements to the Add Custom Study Plan feature. Now you can create recurring items, as well as specify a link.

Another small but useful update. Flashcard (Anki) assignments in the Study Plan will now include recommendations on what topics to cover based on what you may have studied recently. This will be useful during content review to a way to reinforce your covered topics with flashcards.

This one was really fun to develop. We've had users ask for the ability to specify different hours available to study on different days, and we've implemented that feature! In order to keep things simple, yet powerful, you can describe your schedule and let AI convert that into a list. Our Study Plan builder algorithm has also been updated to account for these changes.
April 15, 2025
We're excited to launch a new section dedicated to helping you with Anki - the AnkiCenter. Here, you can access an up-to-date list of your completed topics, as well as some handy guides on how to use Anki effectively.

Moving forward, when creating a study plan, you can override the default task estimates to be slower or faster to better meet your pace.
This is best used if you've tried completing some assignments, and realize your timing widely differ from our default ones.
Please note: How are schedules are built does not change. The system distributes your content review items evenly. The only thing that'll change is how much time is allocated to each assignment, and your days' total estimates.

This might be one of the most exciting updates we've made in a while. Now, when generating your study plan, you can select more than one provider for Content Review. For example, you may select Kaplan Books and Khan Academy Video. Your study plan will be created using your primary provider. After that, you can easily access the resources from your secondary providers through a updated Add / Library feature. The Library will also recommend resources based on what you've been studying!

Sometimes, you'll need a little extra help to understand a topic. So, we're spending a lot of time linking similar resources! Now, you'll see a button to view more resources related to a topic in the sidebar. As our library and tagging grows, we'll keep adding more.

This one's fun. While ideally you should open up the sidebar for each item to mark it complete (and provide a comfort rating), we wanted to give users an alternate approach. Now you can mark items complete simply by clicking on their logos in the study plan.
March 19, 2025
When you mark a task complete, the system will randomly (about 20% of the time) celebrate with on-screen confetti! You can turn it off in the settings if this isn't for you.

Now, when selecting the resources for your study plan, you can modify the default duration for tasks created for practice (e.g. with UWorld).

We're super excited to launch our first Chrome extension! This extension will allow you to access your tasks directly from your browser, making it easier to manage your study plan.
