MCP built in

Your knowledge base, inside your chat app.

You already think alongside an AI assistant. FeynmanLM connects your whole library to it over MCP — so Claude or ChatGPT can search your sources, pull the full text, quiz you Feynman-style, and save the review back into your library.

No copy-pasting PDFs into chat windows. No re-explaining what you're studying. Your assistant simply knows what you know.

Why FeynmanLM is different

Built by researchers, for researchers.

FeynmanLM comes out of a working research habit, not a productivity trend. It optimizes for one thing: understanding that lasts.

Not another note-taking app

There are plenty of second brains to garden. FeynmanLM tracks the sources themselves — you bring the content, the AI brings the quizzing.

No flashcard graveyards

Instead of stale decks, your AI generates fresh Feynman-style questions from the source every time. Retrieval practice, without the maintenance.

Real papers, first class

Import from arXiv, PubMed, or any DOI. PDFs are fetched, metadata extracted, duplicates caught — the way a reference manager should behave.

Quizzing over highlighting

The research is unambiguous: testing yourself beats re-reading. Every review session probes what you actually understood, then saves the transcript.

Your files, no lock-in

Everything is plain files and SQLite in your own iCloud Drive. No proprietary cloud, no export hostage situation, nothing on our servers.

Works with the AI you already use

Bring your Claude or ChatGPT subscription over MCP, or use built-in pay-as-you-go AI. Either way, no new monthly fee.

Storage

It just lives in your iCloud.

Your library is stored in your own iCloud Drive and synced by Apple — so it's on every Mac you own, backed up without thinking about it, and readable even if FeynmanLM disappeared tomorrow. We never see your data.

  • Synced across your Apple devices by CloudKit
  • Works offline — it's just files on disk
  • Private by design: no accounts, no server-side library
Pricing

No subscription. Ever.

The app is free to download. Pay only for the AI you actually use — or unlock MCP once and bring your own, and we never make another cent.
