What is Polymathic?

Polymathic is a library of 450+ foundational ideas from twelve fields, among them mathematics, physics, history, philosophy and art. Each idea has a brief of about 500 words and one illustration.

After you read a brief, you answer questions as written sentences. There is no multiple choice. Answers can earn partial credit, and the questions return on an FSRS-6 schedule. A knowledge graph shows how the ideas connect and how well you remember each one.

The library, the questions and sync are free, with no ads and no tracking. It works without an account, and the iPhone and iPad app works offline. The only paid feature is an optional AI tutor. Available in English and German.

Polymathic is made by one person. The briefs are drafted with AI assistance and edited by hand.
