The problem
A 600-page course pack is hard to study from page one.
BeforeLoose pages, rushed slides and no clear place to start.
AfterBefore any session, MicroGrind shows you how the material is organised.
The Subject Map
See the whole subject before you study the first page.
From your own material, it builds a Subject Map. You see where to start and how the material fits together.

Summary 3
Tap a lesson on the map to see its status.
The map is the means. The sessions are the habit. What counts by the end of the week is what you have already worked through — not how many cards you flipped.
How it works
A study app in three steps. Nothing to set up, nothing to learn first.
See your Subject Map
The app organises your material into chapters, topics and concepts so you can see how they connect.

Short sessions. Real progress.
Open MicroGrind on the web or install it on your phone. Upload your material and your first session starts from your map. All for €4 a month.
Is it a mind map?
No. A mind map is a free-form visual diagram. A Subject Map organises your subject into topics, concepts, definitions and how they connect, using your own material. MicroGrind uses that structure to prepare short study sessions.
Does it work with dense textbooks and slides that were rushed through?
That’s what we designed it for. The map separates the material into chapters, topics and concepts so you can see how it fits together before you study.
I have little time and several subjects to study. Is this for me?
Sessions last between 5 and 25 minutes and fit between classes. When you start a session, you choose its duration to study the material organised in your Subject Map.
What can I upload?
PDFs, Word files, text and photos of your notes. The Subject Map is built from the file you upload.
Can I use it?
Yes. Open it on the web, or install it on your phone.
How much does it cost?
€4 a month. See how MicroGrind compares with other study apps on the Compare page.
