The idea

Most AI assistants are answer machines.
hypatia is the opposite — it never just gives the result.

Ask “What’s the solution to this equation?” and the tutor replies with a guiding question, a method reminder, or a hint about the next step. The goal isn’t to copy a result — it’s to learn how to get there.

Adapts to the student

One tutor, every level

The student picks their level once in their profile — the right guiding prompt is selected automatically.

Middle school

Collège

Simpler vocabulary, smaller steps, more encouragement.

High school

Lycée

More rigour, with references to methods and theorems.

University

Higher education

Concise, assumes foundations, focuses on reasoning depth.

What’s inside

Built for real homework

Chat and Notes are the whole app — focused, with no distractions.

Socratic chat

The AI guides instead of solving, adapting pacing, vocabulary, and rigour to the student’s level.

Rich scientific rendering

Inline & block LaTeX, scientific SVG diagrams (atomic models, geometry), and full Markdown — rendered inline in the conversation.

Markdown notes

A dedicated Notes tab with AI-suggested titles and one-tap OCR from the clipboard to capture an exercise from a screenshot.

Multi-model AI

Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenRouter, Groq, Claude, GPT…), Apple Intelligence on-device, or a fully local Qwen 3.5.

Multi-modal input

Type a question, snap a photo of an exercise, or attach a PDF — analyzed via AI vision or OCR.

10 languages

French, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Indonesian, Tamil, Vietnamese, Khmer.

Privacy-first by design

Your data never leaves your device

hypatia deliberately leaves out email, calendars, and long-term “user facts” memory. Less surface, more focus — and nothing to leak.

  • On-device storage — the local database is never synced to any cloud.
  • Keys in the iOS Keychain — encrypted, never exposed.
  • No telemetry — no analytics, no tracking.
  • Prompt-injection protection — input sanitized before any LLM call.
