Gizmo is a mobile-first study app that turns notes, PDFs, slides, and YouTube videos into adaptive flashcards and quizzes built around spaced repetition and active recall. It wraps studying in game-like mechanics — daily lives, streaks, and bite-sized quizzes — to make revision feel closer to a social app than a textbook. Used by more than 13 million learners across 120 countries, it targets exam prep from GCSEs and A-levels to AP and college courses. A free tier covers daily quizzes and limited tutoring, with paid plans unlocking unlimited use.
