Why Notella exists

Built by a solo founder for the students who actually use it.

I'm Suresh Kumar. A few years ago, a friend of mine was in her second year of medical school. She recorded every lecture — her school did, actually, through Panopto or Echo360 — and she never re-listened to a single one. Who has 60 free minutes?

What she actually studied from was Anki. Her own deck, built card by card from lecture slides, plus the big shared decks every med student uses. The problem: making her own school-specific cards took about 90 minutes per lecture. Every week, she was three lectures behind on carding. Every block exam, she walked in knowing she'd studied the wrong things because she hadn't covered her professor's specific emphasis.

Notella automates the 90 minutes. Record the lecture — or just hand it a PDF — and five minutes later you have the flashcards and quiz questions you would have made by hand, specific to your school and your professor. Keep drilling them in whatever app you already use.

I built this alone and I answer every email. Send me anything: contactus@notella.app.

Built in public, learning out loud

Notella is a one-person operation. I write the code, I read the support email, I ship the App Store updates. There is no support team behind a ticketing system — just me and the inbox.

That means feedback turns into product changes faster than most apps you have used. If a feature is missing, a card is wrong, or a price feels off, tell me. I read every email and I reply personally.

I'm posting roadmap notes, build updates, and the occasional honest mistake on X at @notellaai.
