Annotate as you study. Place comment bubbles directly on your PDFs. Mark high-yield passages, jot clarifying notes, or flag concepts to revisit. Image-based flashcards + automatic occlusion. Upload diagrams and labeled images (anatomy plates, histology slides, imaging studies) and Brain Brew will automatically generate occlusion cards, masking labeled structures one at a time for active recall. Continued refinements to AI-generated question quality, flashcard spaced repetition, and PDF viewing performance.

New: Image Flashcards + Automatic Image Occlusion Anatomy, histology, radiology — so much of what you're studying is visual. Now Brain Brew can turn any diagram or labeled image into a flashcard you can actually study from. Image Flashcards Upload a document and Brain Brew AI will automatically make flashcards. You can add images to your flashcards to help you memorize structures or train your pattern recognition. Automatic Image Occlusion This is the big one. Automatic image occlusion detects labeled structures in an image — think a labeled cranial nerve diagram, a histology slide, or a muscle cross-section — and automatically masks each label. Reveal them one at a time (or all at once) to test whether you actually know your anatomy, or just recognize the picture. No manual masking, no fiddling with boxes — just upload your material and let Brain Brew build the occlusion cards for you. As always, everything ties back to Brain Brew's mission: helping pre-med and health professions students study smarter, with tools built by a practicing physician who's been exactly where you are. What's next: we're continuing to expand image support across quizzes and mind maps, and refining occlusion accuracy based on your feedback — so keep it coming. Questions or bugs?

We made our core AI study tools free to use, with no limitations. We also added new features to help you study smarter. Our new "First Principles" podcast format breaks down tough topics from the ground up. And our new "Talk Me Through It" option walks you through the thought process for solving practice questions, helping you think like a top scorer on exams like the MCAT, USMLE, and more.

Study smarter with our new cache-based flashcard system, which keeps your session focused on a targeted working set of cards so you review what matters most. Study Buddy now offers Socratic and Teach Back modes to push your understanding deeper. Quiz questions now render with full figures and tables for richer, more realistic MCAT-style practice. We've also expanded subscription flexibility with a new Forever access option in the Marketplace, so you can unlock expert resources on your terms. Under the hood, we've made significant speed improvements to document loading, AI response times, and overall app performance — so everything feels faster and smoother.
