Thistle is in testing right now — there's no public download yet. Leave your email and we'll let you know the moment there's a real way to try it.
Most students end up with a planner, a flashcard app, a notes app, a calculator and a chatbot that knows about none of it. Thistle is the one that knows about all of it.
Rotating cycles, mods, blocks, A/B days. It learns your school's words instead of imposing one school's.
Write by hand, import a worksheet, graph a function. Check your working and get a real verdict — it's arithmetic, so it's right or it says it can't tell.
Spaced repetition brings each card back just before you'd forget it.
What's due, what it's worth, and what your GPA actually is on your school's scale — not a generic one.
Record a class and get notes back, so you can listen instead of scribbling.
Answers grounded in pages it actually read, with the sources listed separately.
“Thistle won't do your work for you. It explains, quizzes you, and gives feedback on what you've written. It won't hand you an essay to turn in.”
That isn't a setting anyone can switch off. It's enforced on our servers — not by the student's plan, not by a parent, not by asking nicely.
The difference between Thistle and a chatbot isn't the model. It's what happens when you ask it to do the work.
Checked by arithmetic, not opinion — it verifies each line against the one above. If it can't read a line, it says so instead of guessing.
Illustrative examples of how Thistle is built to respond.
Three questions, and an honest answer — including "probably not," if that's the truth.

You get to see how school is going. You don't get to read their conversations — and neither does anyone else here.
He shows up where a screen would otherwise be blank, and gets out of the way once you're working.

Your homework list, before you add anything
