Why I built Studyio
Hi, I'm Siddhaj. I'm in Class 12 and I'm from Chandigarh.
Most of what I've learned outside school, I learned from YouTube. Some of the best teachers I've found are there, explaining things clearly, for free. I've studied from a lot of long playlists, and that's where the trouble started.
It was always hard to keep track. Which video was I on? Which ones had I actually finished, and which had I only half watched? My notes were in one app, the videos in another, and the links and study material from the descriptions were scattered everywhere. Every time I came back to a course I spent the first few minutes just working out where I was. And with recommendations one click away, it was easy to drift off and never reach the end.
I didn't need more videos. I needed a way to turn the ones I already had into a course I could finish.
So I built Studyio for myself first. Paste in a playlist and it becomes a course: chapters you tick off, your notes right next to the video, a short quiz after each chapter to check you actually understood it, and everything saved in one place so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
Once it worked for me, I realised it would work for a lot of other students who learn the same way. That's why it's open to everyone now, and why everything you need to finish a course is free.
What I care about
The creators on YouTube are the reason any of this works, so their videos always play from YouTube, in YouTube's own player, credited to them. Studyio just adds the structure around them. More for creators.
I'm still building it every week, and a lot of what gets built comes from students telling me what's missing. If something's confusing or you want a feature, use Send feedback in the app, or write to me at studyiocourse@gmail.com. I read everything.
