How learning works.
The aspects of learning on slides: what happens when you learn, where it goes wrong, and what follows for note-taking and review. To leaf through — alone or in front of the class.
You take the notes.Method does the rest.
A note editor for classrooms and lecture halls. Two characters in running text turn a line into a flashcard, two more turn a sentence into homework. Vocabulary brings its pronunciation along as audio. Review uses spaced repetition, on your phone. For school-leaving exams and university.

Price formation
On a free market supply meets demand; the price settles where the two quantities are equal.
The why
Wanting to learn. And not knowing how.
There was a time when I wanted to learn. Really wanted to. Only nobody showed how it is done. Read, copy out, read again, and by the next morning hardly anything was left.
A will that finds no way gives out eventually. Helplessness turned into reluctance, reluctance into distance. I fell behind. Not out of laziness, but for lack of a method.
Years later I came back, this time with a question instead of a resolution: how does learning actually work?
Eduphily is the answer that was missing back then.
Mission
Nobody should fail at the how any more.
That learning takes effort is not the problem. The problem is effort without direction: hours that pass without anything staying.
Eduphily is meant to bring the method to where learning happens. Into the note, into the break, into the week before the exam. Quietly, without lecturing, without dependence.
And where the method is in place, something else becomes possible: learning that no longer feels like duty, but like progress. Perhaps one day even like joy.
Notes of one’s own
A summary is quickly read. And quickly forgotten.
Knowledge has never been this easy to come by. One click, and three hours of lecture become a single page. Clean, complete, and someone else’s.
Because what stays in the mind does not form while reading, but while putting things into words. Whoever phrases a thought in their own words has to understand it, order it and connect it to what is already known. That very effort is the learning. Research calls it the generation effect: what is worked out oneself sticks better than what is read.
A ready-made summary skips this work, and with it the very thing it is all about.
That is why in Eduphily everything starts with one’s own note.
Minerva works alongside, not instead. She shows where a reason is missing, suggests cards and structure, checks for errors and brings shape to one’s own words. What she suggests stands next to the text, not in it. The decision stays with the writer, and so does the thinking.
Learning to learnTwelve years of school, and nobody explains how learning works.
First understand how learning works. Then take notes.
Eduphily grew out of a question: why does so little stick after three hours of reading? The answers are older than any app — retrieval beats rereading, spaced practice beats the night before, and the feeling of “I know this” is deceptive. We have written them down, once to leaf through and once to keep beside you. Both hold with or without Eduphily; a stack of paper flashcards will do.
What to do differently tomorrow.
Instructions and tips on a few pages: how to take notes, when to review, how to quiz yourself. To print and keep beside you.

Making flashcards? That was 2014.
Two characters in running text, and the line becomes a card: >> for question and answer, :: for a term, ;; for a property. The note stays as readable as before, the box fills up while you write — in class as in a lecture.

02 · ReviewNotes you write and never look at again.
Notes that do not die in a drawer.
Every card moves through the compartments of the box: what wobbles comes back tomorrow, what sticks comes back in weeks. Review happens on the phone — on the train, in a break, in a queue. The note stays on the tablet, the box comes along.
03 · MinervaAI tools that think for you instead of with you.
The AI that asks instead of answering.
Minerva reads along and underlines what stays unclear: a claim without a reason, a term without a definition, a contradiction to an older note. Tap, read, decide for yourself. She never writes into the text unasked — and without consent she reads nothing but the open note.
EconomicsStructural policyMinerva is reading
Subsidies — interventionsSubsidies lower a supplier's costs without the market price changing straight away. The state intervenes in price formation without setting a ceiling.
A permanent subsidy lowers prices in the long run and keeps suppliers in the market who would otherwise drop out. Critics call this preserving old structures.

Rules of differentiationThe product rule differentiates a product of two functions: each factor is differentiated once while the other stays put.
(u · v)' = u' · v + u · v'Exam!
e.g. f(x) = x² · sin x
f'(x) = 2x · sin x + x² · cos x
Recognised: “product rule” · search finds the line · card possible
04 · PenHandwriting on a tablet stays dead.
Handwriting that keeps working.
The pen writes into the note, not beside it. Ink stays ink, but it gets read: Minerva deciphers it, search finds it, and a handwritten line becomes a card just like a typed one. Tablet only — the phone is for reading and review.
05 · Vocabulary and pronunciationCopying word lists, guessing how they sound.
The vocabulary test writes itself from your notes — with sound.
A line like “le pain ~~ the bread” is enough: it becomes a vocabulary test in both directions, each with its own progress, and a listening card if you want one. Phonetics and an example sentence simply sit underneath. The pronunciation comes along as an audio file — generated with one click for every word in a note, or recorded yourself. During review the card speaks first, slower if you like, and every sound can be taken along as a ZIP.

06 · Minerva’s workshopOne “AI” button, and your text is gone.
She suggests. You decide, one spot at a time.
Flashcards from the note, a Cornell outline, a check on facts and spelling, a rough draft brought into shape — each move is a turn in a conversation that looks like a messenger and lets you ask follow-up questions. What Minerva suggests hangs on that turn as a card and lands in the tray, not in your text. For a draft, your version and her suggestion sit one above the other, and you decide spot by spot: take it, keep yours, or keep both. If you want, she remembers what she learns about how you study — each entry only after your yes, open to view and to delete.
07 · What goes alongSomething goes to some server somewhere.
Before you send, you see what goes along.
You tick which notes Minerva may see, and underneath it says how many characters that is — before the first request, not after. eduphily holds no key: you enter your own at Claude or ChatGPT, the request goes straight from your device to the provider, and we never see it. Without a key everything else still works; only Minerva rests.

08 · Mind mapA topic with ten branches, squeezed into a list.
Some things only make sense once you draw them.
A mind map is a note of its own or a block in the middle of the text. Branches grow from the keyboard, joined by free elements, connectors, frames and images — on the tablet with the pen as well. Behind the drawing there is always the outline as text, so nothing exists only as a picture. Minerva suggests changes step by step; only what you accept gets drawn.
09 · StructuringYour notes stay the way they fell during the lesson.
Order in your notes — without changing a word.
Structuring sorts what is already there: Minerva suggests an order and headings, splits long paragraphs, turns enumerations into lists and comparisons into tables. She does not touch the wording. Duplicates, gaps and contradictions she reports as a hint beside the text. A preview comes first; only what you confirm is applied — and undo always works.

Homework lives in the text.
Two exclamation marks in front of the sentence, the date inside it: the task stays in the note and appears on a list at the same time — today, this week, overdue. Due date and hand-in can also be set right on the list. No second program, no retyping.

Outlook
What this can become.
Today it is notes, cards and repetition. What is meant to come is more than a tool: a small academy about learning itself, a questionnaire that shows how someone learns best, visible progress, and one day learning together.
Intentions, not promises. The direction is set, the path is made by walking.
Next in mindStudying only where the app happens to run. Gathering the cards all over again before every exam. A lecture that is gone after ninety minutes. Built Built Built
Windows and Linux.
Dedicated builds for Windows and Linux are being considered — so the note is the same on every device.
Boxes across subjects.
Boxes of your own across subjects and folders, say “everything for the maths exam”.
Recordings that learn along.
Transcribe a lecture recording with its speakers, pull out key terms, plus a materials checklist per subject. As with Minerva: only on a click.
iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Dedicated builds for iPhone, iPad and Mac are running in the closed test round.
Cards from what is already there.
Minerva suggests cards from the note — only what you click is kept.
Material that learns along.
Photograph study sheets, have screenshots and PDFs read, folders for documents — only on a click.
Perhaps after thatReviewing always means flipping a card. An AI that corrects your text unasked. Every subject has to fit into lines. Studying feels like running on the spot. Built
More than flashcards.
Cloze texts, matching, multiple choice, reading and listening comprehension, arithmetic, grammar. An error log that turns your own mistakes into a dictation, plus a study plan and a learning journal.
Fact checks — only when asked.
If you ask, Minerva could go through a note for factual errors and suggest corrections, as a hint beside the text. Only what you confirm is kept; unasked, she stays quiet.
Memory path and handwriting to text.
A memory path as a view of its own, next to Cornell notes. Handwriting that turns into text if you want it to.
Progress you can see.
Charts and points that show what has changed, and small games in between — to spur you on, not to hold on to you.
Mind map.
As a note of its own and as a block in the text — see section 08.
Still a thought experimentQuizzing only works with someone sitting next to you. Nobody explains how learning actually works.
Studying together.
Study groups, quizzing each other, study partners, a Moodle connection. Only once it is settled what happens to minors' data along the way.
Learning to learn.
A small Eduphily Academy with texts and videos, and a questionnaire that shows how you learn best.
Also on the list: light and dark mode, find and replace, spell checking, undo across the whole note.
Price and privacy
No price. The AI runs on your own key.
Eduphily is not sold and costs nothing. Minerva needs your own account at Claude or ChatGPT: enter the key once, done. It stays on the device; Eduphily holds none of its own and routes nothing through a shared account. What Minerva gets to see is a setting — when in doubt, only the open note.
Without a key everything works except Minerva.Once saved, the key is never shown in full again.Billing happens at the provider, estimated in the app — not at Eduphily.Pronunciation works the same way: your own ElevenLabs account, and sound is generated only on a click. Without one, record or upload any sound yourself.

Early access.
Eduphily is in a closed test round. Whoever wants to learn with method and help shape where this is heading can ask for access. What is wanted is not users, but fellow learners.
One email is enough: the address the access should run on, and the device you study on. The invitation arrives once there is a build for it — no newsletter, no reminders.
That said: this is a test round.
Not on offer
Eduphily is not sold and not advertised. There is no price and no order — an unpaid usage relationship you can end at any time.
No promises
There is no commitment on availability, data retention or support. What runs today may look different tomorrow.
Access granted individually
Participants are added one by one. Without an entry, signing in creates no account. Minimum age 16.
Status: closed test round. What this page shows runs for a small circle — it is not an offer, and no promise that it will stay this way.
