Nexley

Your notes, filed against the syllabus.

Nexley is a study notebook for NSW Year 11 and 12. Write a page and it suggests the dot point it answers, so you can see what you have covered and what you haven't. Then it turns your pages into palm cards and quizzes, and plans your week around your timetable.

Free, no ads, works offline. Made in Sydney by a Year 11 student.

This is the matcher from the app, running in your browser against the built-in outlines. Nothing you type leaves this page. Tap a palm card to turn it over.

A school day with Nexley

  1. Load your timetable once

    Week A and B, periods and rooms. Home then shows what's on now and what's next.

  2. Tap the period you're in

    A fresh page opens, already dated, labelled and in that subject's notebook. Tap it again later and the same page comes back.

  3. Write the way you like

    Type, or pick up a pen and a highlighter on the same page. Lined, grid or blank paper, in books whose pages turn.

  4. File it in one tap

    Nexley suggests the dot point the page answers. Accept it and your coverage fills in, so the gaps show up before the exam does.

  5. Then test yourself

    Any page can become palm cards, a quiz or a mind map. Spaced repetition brings each card back just before you'd forget it.

Everything else in it

Students put together a notes app, a flashcard app, a planner, a timer and a paper diary. In Nexley they are one app, and each part knows about the others.

Study lab

Revise, practise and focus.

  • Palm cards with spaced repetition
  • HSC-style quizzes with worked answers
  • Timed practice papers, with reading time
  • Blurt and blank-page recall
  • Mind maps, or one built from a page's headings
  • Focus timer with rain, café and brown noise
  • Lecture capture, written up as a page
  • A writing workshop for essays
  • Formula sheets, a glossary and dot point guides
  • Nex, which answers from your own pages

Track

What is coming up and how it went.

  • A countdown to every assessment
  • Marks kept apart by the conditions you sat them under
  • A mistake lab that brings each error back until you have it
  • Twelve weeks of work at a glance
  • Syllabus coverage, subject by subject
  • A plain summary to share with a parent or teacher

Life

The rest of the day, logged by you.

  • Daily rituals, ticked off
  • Sleep, energy and water check-ins
  • A rough night? Nexley offers to lighten tonight's plan
  • Routines, sets and heaviest lifts in the training lab
  • A journal for the day

No predicted band, ever.

An open-notes mark and an exam mark are not the same mark, so Nexley never averages them into a number that claims to know your result. Practice scores stay in practice.

When you ask the AI for feedback, it marks one answer against the criteria you paste in. It is labelled as a model's opinion, it can be wrong, and it can never become one of your real marks.

A catalyst lowers the activation energy, so equilibrium is reached faster. The position of equilibrium does not change.

Questions

What is Nexley?

Nexley is a study notebook that files every note against the syllabus dot point it answers, so a year of work stays findable and the parts you have never written up stop being invisible. It also records real marks with the conditions you sat them under, shows where marks were lost question by question, and lays out the term so you can see which weeks were over-committed the day they were set.

Is it free?

Yes. Nexley is free to use right now, there are no ads, and nothing about you is sold or shared. It is built by one person and is early. If that ever has to change, it will be said plainly here first, not discovered at a paywall.

Who can read my notes?

Only you. Notes are stored on your own device first and synced to your own account, protected by database rules that make your rows unreachable by any other account. Nothing you write is public, there is no feed, and there is no way to browse another student's notebook. The only exceptions are things you do on purpose: sending one note to one person you name, or entering a comp, where the others see your username and your score and nothing else.

Does it work offline?

Yes, fully. Everything saves to your device first, so a lesson with no school Wi-Fi is not a lost lesson, and it syncs whenever a connection comes back. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app with nothing to install.

Will it predict my ATAR or my band?

No, and that is deliberate rather than unfinished. An open-notes mark and an exam mark are not the same mark, and Nexley will never quietly average them into a number that claims to know what you are going to get. Every number it shows you reflects something that actually happened.

Does an AI mark my work?

Only when you ask it to, on one answer at a time. You paste in the marking criteria you were given, and it gives feedback against those exact words. Every mark is shown against the criterion it hangs on, so you can see the reasoning and disagree with it. It is clearly labelled as written by a model, it can be wrong, and an AI's opinion can never be recorded as one of your real marks. Your notes are never used to train any AI model, and the provider used does not train on what is sent to it.

Is it only for the NSW HSC?

It was built by a NSW Year 11 student against NSW syllabus structure, so outcome codes and dot points are what it expects. But nothing is hard-coded to one curriculum. You paste in whatever syllabus you were given, topics at the left margin and dot points indented, and it files your notes against that.

How is this different from Notion, OneNote or Google Docs?

Those are excellent blank pages, and a blank page cannot tell you what you have not written. Nexley knows the shape of your course, so it can show coverage, surface the dot points you have never touched, pull weak topics into review, and tie a lost mark back to the part of the syllabus it came from. The longer answer is here.

Can I get my notes out?

Yes, at any time, from inside the app: a full export of everything you have written. You can also delete your account and everything in it yourself from Settings, immediately, without emailing anyone.

Who makes it?

One Year 11 student in Sydney, building it for his own study and shipping most days. That is the whole team. It is why the feedback button in the app goes straight to the person writing the code, and why you can see what happened to what you sent.

Nexley works and is used daily, but it is early, and features land most weeks. There is a Feedback button in the app; what you send goes straight to the person building it, and you can see what happened to it.
