What Decks is
Decks is an app designed specifically for learning. It helps users master knowledge faster through a note-taking method that connects written notes to video. You can link notes directly to YouTube videos and add timestamps so you can jump back to the important part of a lecture or tutorial. The app also includes ChatGPT conversations with a search function, a multi-level organization structure using tags, chats, and decks, and flashcard decks for reinforcing memory. Users start for free, and after 14 days can choose a monthly plan at $8 or an annual plan at $79.
What you can do with it
- Create decks to organize learning material by topic.
- Add YouTube videos by URL or search and mark timestamps.
- Keep ChatGPT conversations inside your notes and search them later.
- Turn key points into flashcards for review.
- Group material with tags and a multi-level structure.
Who it is for
- Students who want course notes and review material in one place.
- Researchers who need to return quickly to specific moments in long videos.
- Lifelong learners who like interactive study rather than passive reading.
- Anyone preparing for exams who wants active recall through flashcards.
What to watch out for
After the 14-day trial, Decks costs $8 per month or $79 per year, so it is a paid tool beyond the trial. The value depends on building a steady study habit; notes alone will not create retention, and flashcards only help if you review them. Video linking relies on YouTube staying available, and ChatGPT features depend on that service as well. If you mostly read text rather than watch video, parts of the app may go unused, so test the trial with the kind of material you actually study.
