Frequently asked questions
How does the lecture notes app work?
Record a lecture in the iOS app (or upload an existing recording, PDF, or YouTube link on the web). AI transcribes it, builds structured notes with headings, and generates flashcards and quizzes from the same content — all in the same notebook.
Do I need to type anything?
No. Recording and uploads both skip typing entirely. You can still add your own text notes alongside the AI-generated ones if you want to.
Can I record a lecture without an internet connection?
Yes — the iOS app records locally and uploads for processing once you're back online, so you never lose a recording because of bad classroom Wi-Fi.
How is this different from a plain voice recorder?
A voice recorder gives you an audio file you still have to listen back to. Almanac gives you a transcript, an organized outline, and flashcards — the studying is already done by the time class ends.
Is it free?
Yes, 3 notebooks free with full notes, flashcards, and quizzes — no signup required to try the tools on this site. Pro ($9/month) removes the notebook limit and adds audio overviews.
