Why Students Switch from Paperclips to TikoNote

TikoNote records and transcribes live lectures, converting spoken content into structured notes, flashcards, and mind maps. Paperclips is limited to text documents.

Active Recall Built-In

TikoNote includes spaced repetition flashcards, Blurting, and Feynman sessions. Paperclips focuses on annotation — reading and retention are still left to you.

Don't Clip, Connect

Using TikoNote isn't just about storing flashcards; it's about connecting ideas. Our Mind Map feature allows you to see how the concepts in your flashcards relate to the bigger picture.

I used Paperclips to highlight my lecture PDFs, then had to make flashcards manually elsewhere. TikoNote does both — it reads my PDF and generates the flashcards automatically. I saved 3 hours last week alone.
