From reading to retention

Turn everything you read
into lasting memory.

A privacy-first "second brain" that reads along with you and uses proven memory science to make knowledge actually stick. No copy-paste. No manual uploads. No busywork. Just remembering more of what matters.

✦ Offline-first ✦ AI-built retention ✦ Your data stays yours
📚 Realtime reading along
🧠 Recall due in 2 days

The reading you already do, finally working for your memory.

The journey

4 steps from a page to permanent knowledge

Most of what we read fades within days. CogniPage closes the gap between reading and remembering.

01

Read

Keep reading anything — PDFs, docs, the web. CogniPage reads along and never interrupts.

02

Capture

Paragraphs you dwell on are captured automatically and organised into materials, highlighting to keep a note.

03

Recall

AI-built flashcards and quick assessments from what you read, then schedules them for spaced review.

04

Retain

Watch your knowledge map grow. CogniPage surfaces exactly what to review next so it never fades.

Built to make it stick

Everything you need to remember and more

🪄

Effortless Capture

Reads along with you across apps, files, and physical books — zero manual note-organiser.

AI Retention

High-quality cards and assessments from readings, using Deep Knowledge Tracing & Reinforcement Learning.

📈

Spaced Recall

A proven FSRS algorithm schedule resurfaces material right before you'd forget it.

🗺️

Knowledge Maps

See how concepts connect and where your understanding is strongest.

🔒

Private by Design

Capture happens locally and stays on your device. You approve every site, document and video. See exactly what we read.

☁️

Sync Everywhere

Sign in to sync your materials and progress across your devices, over an encrypted connection.

AI does the adaptive work

Recalls & Assessments, generated for you

CogniPage reads what you read, then turns it into active practice automatically.

Automated Recalls

From paragraph to adaptive flashcard, instantly

AI distils each thing you read into clean, high-quality flashcards, then uses a research/community-backed adaptive algorithm to schedule them with spaced repetition so they resurface right before you'd forget — no manual carding, ever.

  • Cards written from your own reading, in your context
  • Spaced-repetition scheduling that adapts to your recall
  • Review queues that take minutes a day

📝

Automated Assessments

Quizzes that grade & diagnose themselves

Beyond recall, AI builds full assessments from your materials — multiple choice, multi-select, true/false, matching and short answer — then grades your answers and pinpoints exactly where understanding slipped.

  • Five question types generated from your reading
  • Automatic grading with gap diagnosis
  • Results feed straight into what to review next

AI Thought Organiser

Highlight as you read — notes that organise themselves

CogniPage turns fleeting highlights into a searchable, self-organising knowledge base. Grab a passage from any app with a single shortcut; AI files it, titles it, and links it to what you already know.

⌨️

One-key highlight capture

Press ⌘⇧H or Ctrl+Shift+H anywhere — no copy-paste

Select text in your browser, a PDF, or any document app, then hit the global shortcut. CogniPage grabs the passage and saves it as a note — without ever pulling you out of what you're reading.

  • System-wide global hotkey (⌘⇧H on macOS · Ctrl+Shift+H on Windows)
  • Keeps the original source text alongside your own edits
  • Captured locally first — all saved on your device

AI-organised notes

Titles, summaries, folders & tags — automatic

The moment a highlight lands, AI gives it a title and summary, files it into the right folder, tags it, and links the concepts it touches. Edit anything in a clean Markdown editor, or search across every note in a keystroke.

  • Auto-named folders that reuse your existing structure
  • Markdown editor with live write & preview
  • Instant search and inline folder creation

Beyond the screen

Reading a physical book? Track that too.

CogniPage doesn't stop at what's on your screen. Point any camera at a printed page and it reads along with you — so the paperbacks and textbooks you love feed the same recall, assessments and knowledge map as everything else.

📷

Track as you read

Any webcam — no scanner, no typing

Create a material for your book, aim your camera at the page, and CogniPage captures the text as you turn pages. Continuous auto-capture handles it hands-free, or hit “Capture now” for a single page — and it quietly skips pages you've already read.


  • Works with any connected camera on Windows & macOS
  • Continuous auto-scan, plus a manual “Capture now”
  • Smart de-duplication — no page captures twice

🔒

Text only — never the image

On-device vision, same private pipeline

Recognition runs locally on your device. Each frame is read, the text is kept, and the image is thrown away — no photos of your books are ever stored or synced. From there, printed pages flow into the very same flashcards, assessments and analytics as your on-screen reading.

  • On-device vision — pages are never saved as images
  • A capture-source badge shows what came from a book
  • Feeds the same recall, KWL and knowledge map

One connected graph

Your Knowledge Map, drawn as you learn

Every folder, note, concept, and the material it came from — laid out as one interactive graph, with concept-to-concept links that reveal how your ideas relate.

Analytics that show what you actually know

Four living views turn your reading and recall history into a clear picture of mastery — so you always know where you're strong and what's about to fade.

Mind Map

Materials → concepts → flashcards

An interactive graph that connects everything you've read to the concepts and cards it produced — pan, zoom and watch your knowledge take shape.

KWL Chart

Know · Want to know · Learned

Per material, a mastery ring and three colour-coded columns sort concepts into what you already Know, Want to know, and have Learned.

What CogniPage needs, and what it never does

Reading along with you means seeing what is on your screen. That is a serious thing to ask for, so here is exactly what it involves — in full, before you download anything.

Reading access

macOS: Accessibility · Windows: UI Automation

Lets CogniPage read the text of a window you have approved — the same interface screen readers use. Required; without it there is nothing to read along with.

Screen & app audio

macOS: Screen Recording · Windows: screen capture

Reads text from windows that expose none — image-only PDFs, for example — and captures the sound of a video you are watching. Recognition and transcription both run on your device.

Camera (optional)

Only for physical books

Used solely if you choose to track a printed book. The page is read for text and the image is discarded. Skip this and everything else still works.

CogniPage never:
