New Saved-question folders and in-subject concept search

The IB syllabus, one session at a time.

Tell Syllabo how many minutes you have. It builds a session from your weakest syllabus points, your open mistakes and the topics due for review, marks what you write, and moves on.

Built around the syllabus, not around trivia.

Every question, flashcard and lesson is tagged to an official syllabus point, so the app always knows what you have covered, what you keep getting wrong and what your next test is on.

Practice

Pick the minutes. The session picks itself.

Slide from 5 to 60 minutes. Syllabo sequences a warm-up, a lesson card, recall, application and an exam-format question, weighted towards what is weak and what is tested soon. Flashcards, MCQ, written questions, concept review, exam practice, or teach your buddy.

Learn

Search a concept, do questions on it.

Inside any subject, type "enthalpy" or "3.1" and go straight to the lesson, questions, MCQ or cards for that exact point.

Marking

Questions

Are these real IB past papers?

The app ships original questions written in IB paper format with mark schemes. Real papers are IBO copyright, so they are not bundled. If your school gives you access to past papers, the included import tool converts a paper plus mark scheme into the app in one command, and they appear with their session, paper and question reference.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. Everything except the AI tutor is on your device. The offline tutor still explains, quizzes and sets questions.

Where is my data stored?

On your device only. There are no Syllabo servers. Accounts, mastery, mistakes, notes, friends and settings are all local, and deleting the app deletes them.

Which subjects are covered in depth?

Every UWCSEA East subject is selectable with its official topic outline. Biology, Chemistry, Maths AI, Economics, English A Language and Literature and Chinese B have detailed syllabus points, questions and glossaries; more are being added.

Is it affiliated with the IB?

No. "International Baccalaureate" and "IB" are trademarks of the International Baccalaureate Organization, which does not endorse this app.

Study the syllabus, not the panic.

Syllabo is coming to the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Until then, email to join the TestFlight.
