About

Breef

Breef is a note-taking and study app for students, medical students, researchers and lifelong learners who bring their own material: lecture notes, books, papers, slides and recordings.

Write notes that format as you type, with formulas, images and files, and link ideas with [[double brackets]]. Every note and link becomes one map of what you know, coloured by how well you remember it.

Breef brings each note back for review before you forget it: a day after you write it, then less and less often each time you remember it. Review by reading it through, answering questions written from it, or going through your own cards (which export to Anki). Give a course its exam date and its notes come back more often until the day.

Record a lecture and get a tidy study note with the transcript; drop in a PDF of slides and get linked notes; ask a question and get an answer from your own notes.

Free forever for notes, links, the map, search, reviews and exam prep. Pro is €6 a month for more. Notes are private and stored in the EU.
