Why did the paper drop recurrence?
Tutor Section 3.2 calls it “scaled dot-product attention”. Want the intuition first, or the math?
Bring anything
If you can read it or watch it, you can study it.
- YouTube
Videos & playlists
Paste a link. Captions come in fast; videos without them are transcribed on your Mac.
- Web
Articles & docs
Saved as the page looked, so it still reads offline. Multi-chapter docs come in whole.
- arXiv
Papers
arXiv, PubMed, DOIs or any PDF. Find new ones in Discover, then study them in a tap.
- Lecture
Your classes
Record the board or just the audio on your iPhone and send it to your Mac.

Markdown, text, Jupyter notebooks and books with chapters.
Your library
Everything you’re learning, in one place.
Papers, videos, articles and lectures sit side by side, each with its own study pack.
From reading to sharing
Learn it. Write it. Publish it.
Most study apps stop at the flashcards. Owlish takes you all the way to something you can share.
- 1
Learn it
Summaries, cards, quizzes, mock tests and a tutor, made from what you added.
See study tools - 2
Make something
Write a post with your sources beside you, or turn a paper into an explainer video.

Whiteboard
Sketch it out right beside it.
Draw diagrams, arrows and boxes on a whiteboard next to the video or paper. Each item keeps its own boards, so your sketches are there next time.
Summary
The short version, first.
Every pack opens with a clear summary, then notes and key terms, so you know what matters before you dig in.
Practice
Practice until it sticks.
Flashcards made from your material. Flip, mark what you know, and come back to the rest.
Learn
Learn by doing, not just reading.
- Hands-on coding tracks that check your work as you go.
- Pick papers and PDFs from your library, and Owlish writes lessons from them.
- Each generated lesson is tested before it shows up in My lessons.
Slides
A slide deck from what you studied.
Describe the talk or pick your material, edit the outline, and get a styled deck with speaker notes. Export it to PDF or an editable PowerPoint whenever you like.
Present
Your iPhone is the clicker. Everyone can follow along.
- iPhone remote: big Next and Back, your notes, the slide on screen, and a clock that says if you’re on time.
- Go live: share a link and everyone’s browser follows your slides as you present.
- A passcode if you want one, and the link closes on its own after an hour, a day or a week.
- See how many people are watching, right on your phone.
Studio
Turn what you read into an explainer video.
Start from a paper, a PDF, a link, your own notes or a study pack. Studio plans the story and makes it:
- Animated explainer: equations and diagrams that move, with narration.
- Illustrated video: a story told in a drawn style you pick.
- Podcast: two hosts talking it through, ready for the walk home.
Atlas
See how it all connects.
A map of everything you’ve studied: papers, playlists, your drafts and notes, and the links between them. Spot the threads you keep coming back to.
Discover
Find what to read next.
Search arXiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex and more in one place, or browse what’s trending. One click adds a paper to your library.
Calendar
Plan your study, see your progress.
Put study sessions and deadlines on the calendar, and see what you actually worked on each day. It all stays on your Mac, with no calendar permissions needed.
Make it yours
Teach Owlish how you like things.
Skills are plain instructions for each AI feature: how study packs are written, how the tutor teaches, your voice in drafts, the look of your slides. Write your own, or import a SKILL.md you already use.
- Study packs, Tutor, Writer and Slides, each with its own skill.
- Your guidance shapes the style; the parts the app depends on stay fixed, so nothing breaks.
- Saved as Markdown files you can edit anywhere or share with your class or team.

Questions
What do I need?
A Mac on macOS 15.5 or later, an iPhone or iPad on iOS 26, or both. They work on their own; pairing them is optional.
Does it need an AI account?
No. Apple Intelligence runs on your device where it’s available. If you’d rather use a cloud model, add your own key from the provider you pick. Owlish never chooses one for you, and you pay that provider directly.
Where does my stuff live?
On your devices. Owlish has no accounts and no tracking. Text only goes to an AI provider when you’ve chosen one, and the app asks before the first time.
Is the iPhone app free?
Yes. Reading, the Tutor, cards, quizzes and lecture recording are free on iPhone and iPad.
How does buying the Mac app work?
Try everything free for 7 days. Then pick monthly, yearly or a one-time lifetime license. Your key arrives right after checkout. Subscriptions cancel anytime.
Can my audience follow my slides on their own screens?
Yes. Press Go live on the Mac and share the link (or put its QR code on screen). Everyone’s browser follows your slides as you present, from your iPhone or the Mac. Add a passcode if you like; the link closes on its own after the time you pick.
Can I change how the AI writes and teaches?
Yes. In Settings → Skills you can tell each feature what you want, like the level, tone, exam style or house colours, or import a SKILL.md. The parts the app relies on stay fixed, so your changes can’t break anything.
I study research papers. Is there more?
Yes. On the Mac you can search papers across arXiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex and more, open a paper’s code, run it, and compare models side by side.
