01
It picks what to study
The dashboard shows your next session and why it is next, so you start studying instead of planning.
Adaptive learning app
An adaptive learning app that plans your studying for you
Most students lose time deciding what to study next. Sidetracked Day makes that decision: it picks the next session from your course material, tests you with active recall and adjusts what comes next based on your answers.
How the app adapts
02
It tests instead of explaining twice
Sessions are built from your lecture material and ask you to recall it, with feedback on every answer.
03
It changes the next step
Correct answers move material further out. Mistakes and hints bring it back sooner, so your time goes to what you don't know yet.
What adapts to you
What you study
The next session is chosen from your course material and your weak spots.
How you study
Questions switch formats so you have to recall ideas, not recognise them.
How long you study
Short sessions with a clear number of items, built to fit into a normal day.
When material returns
Review timing follows your answers instead of a fixed schedule.
Static study plan vs adaptive learning
| Static study plan | Sidetracked Day | |
|---|---|---|
| Who decides what to study | You, every day | The app, with the reason shown |
| What happens after a mistake | Nothing changes until you notice | The topic comes back sooner |
| What happens to known material | Same time as everything else | Reviews spread further apart |
| Study method | Often rereading notes | Active recall with feedback |
Questions about adaptive learning
What is an adaptive learning app?
An adaptive learning app changes what you study next based on how you perform, instead of following the same plan for every student. Sidetracked Day adapts the next session and the timing of reviews to your answers.
Is Sidetracked Day an AI study planner?
It does the job of a study planner: it decides what to study, how and for how long. The plan updates as you answer questions, so it reflects what you actually know rather than what you planned to know.
What material does it use?
Your own course material, such as lecture slides. The questions come from what you are actually being taught.
Does it work for any subject?
It works best for courses taught through lectures and slides, which covers most university modules. The product demo shows a corporate finance session on company valuation.
How much does it cost?
Sidetracked Day costs 14.99 EUR per month, or 79.99 EUR per year (6.67 EUR per month). You can start on the web, iPhone or Android.
