RemNote is a notes app with spaced repetition added. exclam.ai is a study planner that ingests the PDF you already study from and produces a phased schedule (coverage → review → mocks) with AI flashcards, quizzes, FSRS, and Anki import.
A phased study plan tied to your exam date
Search by meaning across textbooks and lectures
Purpose‑built review UI with Anki‑style shortcuts
Import Anki decks 1:1; keep & optimize FSRS
Generate both flashcards and quizzes from PDFs
RemNote’s pitch is: write your notes as outlines, mark concepts, get spaced repetition. That works well if you take notes by hand. But if your source material is a 600-page PDF (textbook, syllabus, slide deck), the missing layer is a plan: when do I read what, when do I switch from learning to reviewing, when do I start mocks? exclam.ai builds that plan from the PDF directly.
