Say what you want to learn
“I want to learn Java.” chalk asks what you already know and what it’s for — then plans the course.
Learn anything,anywhere.
Hold ⌘⌥ and ask about anything on your Mac — chalk answers out loud and points at the real thing, one step at a time. Or say what you want to learn, and it builds a course of classes you can do, not just read.

Ask out loud in any app. It points at the real thing, then waits while you do it.
Board
Ask about anything. chalk draws you a board.
It starts with what it is, every term defined. Then a picture that moves, in the subject’s own shape — and chalk walks you through it out loud, one moment at a time. Ask about any part.
You asked
On your screen
Ask about anything on your screen. chalk points at it.
Hold ⌘⌥ in any app and ask out loud. chalk answers in a voice from the notch, marks the real button, cell or line — and takes you through it, one step at a time.
Learn anything
Say what you want to learn. chalk builds the course.
It asks a few questions, plans a course of classes you come back to, and builds each class as a lesson you do — short steps, things to drag and try, and practice in the real thing.
Or bring your semester
Drop in a term of slides, tutorials and past papers. The course is built from your materials, and cites the pages.
A course you come back to
Classes in order, each one ready when you are. No streaks, nothing locked.
Things to drag and try
Graphs that compute, code that runs, traces you step through — and checks that tell you why.
Practise for real
In your own editor, in the real app, or out loud — the half of learning a page can’t do.
Highlight anything to ask
Select the line you’re stuck on and chalk explains it another way, right where it is.
Listen in class
It hears the lecture and writes it up against your slides — translated, if it isn’t in your language.
Notes, a cheat sheet, a board
Every class leaves you its notes, everything on one page, and the class drawn as a board.
Better together
Your screen knows the class you’re on.
Stuck on an error while you practise? Hold ⌘⌥ and chalk explains it in the words of today’s class. Learning Figma? It walks you through the class’s task inside Figma itself. Switch it off whenever you like.
Who it’s for
For anyone learning, at any age.
chalk changes its voice for whoever is in front of it: big and playful for a five-year-old, exam-sharp at university, rigorous for research, hands-on for anyone starting something new.
Students, from first shapes to final exams
Big, playful classes for young children, one idea at a time. At university, a course built from your own slides and past papers.
Researchers, with the real structures
Turn a protein’s fold or a double helix in 3D — from the structure itself, never a drawing of one — and learn the method behind a paper like anything else.
Anyone picking up something new
A new skill, a concept you never quite got, or the tool your new job runs on — learned by doing, at your own pace.
Trust
Your screen stays yours.
chalk can see what you show it and point at anything on it. What happens on your screen is still up to you.
It clicks only when you say so
chalk can offer to click, type or open a link for you. It happens only when you tap ⌘⌥, click its button, or say yes while you hold the keys — and it never offers to send, pay or delete.
Invisible when you share
Out of the box, chalk never appears in screenshots, recordings or a shared screen — what it shows you stays yours.
It listens when you ask
While you hold ⌘⌥, or once you start recording a class. No audio is kept.
What it knows, you can see
Your profile, your words and what it remembers are kept on your Mac and listed in Settings — each line yours to forget.
