The Calculowl owl

Math you'll actually keep

From Algebra 1 to Calculus 3, in short daily sessions built for your phone.

194 topics across 7 courses. Free, with no ads.

How it works

  1. Find your level

    A short adaptive placement quiz marks the topics you already know, so you start where you are.

  2. Practice to mastery

    Each topic opens with worked examples, then practice. Three right in a row masters it and unlocks what comes next.

  3. Review right on time

    FSRS spaced repetition brings a topic back just before you'd forget it. Practicing a topic also refreshes the ones it builds on.

  4. Keep your streak

    Earn XP for focused minutes, meet your daily goal to grow a streak, and collect badges along the way.

What you'll learn

Every topic builds on the ones before it, so gaps get filled on the way.

Built for the way you do math

Handwriting and proof grading use Claude through your own Anthropic API key, saved encrypted in Settings and billed to your Anthropic account. It's optional: without a key you type your answers and grade your own proofs against the rubric and a model proof.

Free, with no ads or trackers

Calculowl costs nothing. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking scripts. The only possible cost is your own Anthropic usage, and only if you add a key.
