Study smarter with an AI that's actually yours

Revolv is a private AI study companion that lives on your computer — not in someone else's cloud. Make flashcards, get quizzed, focus with friends, and ask for help by voice. Your notes and conversations stay on your machine.

Everything in one place

One companion for your whole study day

Not another chatbot tab — a full study toolkit with an AI woven through every part of it.

Flashcards & spaced review

Turn notes, PDFs or slides into flashcards in one click, then let the daily review queue schedule them so you remember for the exam — not just tonight.

Quizzes that grade you

Say "quiz me on photosynthesis" and get a real graded quiz built from your own material, with explanations for everything you miss.

Focus sessions & streaks

Built-in focus timer, assignment tracker with due-date nudges, and a study dashboard that shows your streak and where your hours actually go.

Voice, hands-free

Say "hey Revolv" from across the room — set timers, save notes, get reminders, play music, or ask real questions and hear the answer back.

Screen tutoring

Stuck on a problem? Say "hey Rev, look at my screen." Revolv sees what you see, explains it, and points at the exact spot with an on-screen highlight.

Reads your files & code

Drop in PDFs, Word docs, slides or spreadsheets and ask about them. A built-in code editor with an AI pair-programmer is there when class gets technical.

Search without the tabs

Look things up inside Revolv, then hand any page straight to your AI: save it to notes, summarise it, or turn it into flashcards.

Whiteboards, together

Sketch on a shared infinite whiteboard with friends in real time — diagrams, problem-solving, group brainstorms.

Your PC, from your phone

Phone Connect pairs your phone to your desktop with a QR code — chat with your AI, browse files, and check your study day from anywhere.

Study together

Everything's better with friends — studying included

Spin up a live study room in seconds. No servers to set up, no accounts for your friends to puzzle over — just a room code.

  • Live rooms with a code. Start a room, share the 6-letter code, study with the same crew every time.
  • Ask Rev together. @Rev answers in the room chat so the whole group learns from the same explanation.
  • Synced focus sessions. Everyone's timer runs together — quiet grind, then break at the same time.
  • Friends & invites. Add friends once, see who's online, and pull them into rooms or shared whiteboards.
Study together — start a room, join with a code, my rooms
Study dashboard — hours studied, focus sessions, streak, cards due
Built for real studying

A study hub that keeps score

Flashcards, review queue, quizzes, assignments and focus — one tab, one subject-tagged spine, one dashboard that tells you the truth about your week.

  • Daily review queue — spaced repetition decides what you see today, so cramming turns into remembering.
  • Assignment tracker — due dates pull into your daily briefing and nudge you before it's suddenly tonight.
  • Everything feeds it — chats, searches, files and code can all become cards or quizzes in one click.
Local-first by design

Your data is yours. Actually.

Most AI apps send everything you type to someone else's servers. Revolv was built the other way around.

Stored on your PC

Notes, journals, memories and chat history live in a database on your own machine — not in a company's cloud. Uninstall it and it's gone.

Works fully offline

Run a free local AI model and Revolv works with no internet and no API keys — chat, flashcards, quizzes and voice included. Cloud models are optional.

Blind relay for sharing

Study rooms and phone pairing go through a relay that only forwards encrypted messages — it can't read what your group says or sees.

Ask anything from the home screen, drop in your notes, make your first deck — and invite a friend to a study room.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is Revolv free?

Yes. Download it and use it. Running a local AI model is completely free; if you prefer stronger cloud models, you bring your own low-cost API key and pay the provider directly — Revolv doesn't sit in the middle.

Does it need the internet?

Not for the core experience. With a local model, chat, flashcards, quizzes, focus and voice all work offline. Internet is only needed for cloud models, web search, study rooms and phone pairing.

What leaves my computer?

By default, nothing personal. Your notes, chats and memories are stored locally. If you enable a cloud model, only the messages you send it go out. Study-room traffic passes through a blind relay that just forwards messages between friends.

What do I need to run it?

Any reasonably modern Windows PC. For fully-offline AI, a GPU with 6 GB+ of memory runs the recommended local model comfortably — otherwise use a cloud key. macOS currently runs from source (see the repo instructions).

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes — Phone Connect. Scan a QR code once and your phone's browser (installable as an app) talks to your desktop over an end-to-end encrypted channel: chat, files, notes and controls from anywhere.
