How it works.
Upload your syllabus or lecture notes
Drop in a PDF or paste your notes. Any subject, any format. Masterly reads your material and understands what you need to learn.
AI builds your day-by-day study plan
Set your exam date. Masterly breaks your entire syllabus into daily sessions — perfectly paced so you cover everything with time to review.
Pass the quiz. Unlock your apps.
Each day generates flashcards and a quiz from your own material. Your chosen apps stay locked via iOS Screen Time until you pass. No bypass. No excuses.

Today's session. Actually try it.
Two flashcards and one quiz question, exactly like a Masterly day — except yours are generated from your own notes.
Meanwhile, on your phone…




Locked until quiz passed
Your chosen apps are held shut by iOS Screen Time. Flip the cards, pass the quiz, and watch what happens.
Straight from the app.
The plan, the flashcards, the quiz, the unlock — this is what your day looks like.




Does this sound familiar?
"I open Instagram to quickly check something and lose an hour."
"I don't know what to study or in what order. So I study nothing."
"The night before the exam, my notes still feel pointless."
The difference is one habit.
Without Masterly
- ×Open Instagram to 'quickly check' — lose an hour
- ×No idea what to study or in what order
- ×Cram the night before. Panic.
- ×Apps win. Every time.
With Masterly
- ✓Plan done. Study session waiting.
- ✓Quiz passed. Apps unlocked.
- ✓Streak growing. Habit forming.
- ✓Exam ready. Not just 'hopefully'.
