Help / Documentation
Everything the app does, explained one feature at a time — from installing it to reading your first page to tuning the last setting. New here? Start with the three cards below.
Nothing matches that. Try a different word, or email support.
Getting started
Install CogniPage, grant the permissions it needs, and get your first flashcards.
- What CogniPage does The four steps every page you read passes through, and what the app is doing at each one.
- Installing CogniPage Download and install on macOS or Windows, and check you got the file we published.
- Granting permissions Why CogniPage asks for Accessibility and Screen Recording, and how to grant or withdraw each one.
- Your first reading session A ten-minute walkthrough from a blank app to your first review.
Capturing what you read
How CogniPage reads along with you — and how you stay in charge of what it sees.
- Tracking and approvals Approve a site, document or video, review every approval later, and pause capture entirely.
- What gets captured Automatic text extraction, and drawing the area yourself when a layout defeats it.
- Videos, lectures and podcasts Turn what you watch and listen to into materials, with captions or on-device transcription.
- Physical books and printouts Point a camera at a printed page and read it into the same system as everything else.
- Highlights and instant notes Grab a passage from any app with one shortcut and let CogniPage file it for you.
Turning reading into memory
The parts of the app that do the remembering: cards, quizzes, notes and the maps over them.
- Materials Every source you are learning from, and the document CogniPage writes from each one.
- Flashcards and spaced recall How cards are made, how to review them, and what the four rating buttons really do.
- Assessments Build a mixed-format quiz from any material, get it graded, and see where understanding slipped.
- Notes Your own writing, organised into folders by AI and linked to the concepts it touches.
- Suggestions The next best thing to do right now, ranked by what it does for your retention.
- Reflection Daily, weekly and monthly write-ups of what you learned and what is slipping.
- Analytics and the Knowledge Map Five views over your learning: mind map, knowledge map, retention, forgetting curve and KWL.
Set up and control
Make CogniPage fit how you work, and manage your account, credits and devices.
- Notifications and reminders Choose what CogniPage tells you about, and the hours when it stays silent.
- Settings reference Every setting in the app, what it changes, and what it is set to out of the box.
- Account, plans and AI credits Sign in, choose a plan, top up credits, and see exactly what each AI action costs you.
- Sync and multiple devices Pick up on another computer, and what happens to your data when you do.
- Privacy and your data Where your reading is stored, what ever leaves your machine, and how to delete all of it.
- Updating CogniPage How new versions arrive, and why nothing installs without you pressing a button.
