Pre-release beta. This guide does not issue a download or an invitation. A small invited beta is planned. No date is set.

Beta guide

Start small. Check the source.

A good first session uses invented material and a question with a known answer. Features differ by device. iPhone and iPad testing is ongoing.

Before a first session

Planned The first people invited are teachers and other adults (18+). No minors. Do not use student records or classroom recordings. Use a short invented note, or non-sensitive material you own and have permission to test.

Eligible countries have not been established. Teacher participation does not mean a school has endorsed the app or allowed student information to be shared.

Requires a recent version of macOS, iOS or iPadOS. Some Apple on-device AI features need the latest OS and an eligible device. A simulator check is not the same as testing on a physical iPhone or iPad.

The first-session loop

Wait for an invitation. There is no install link on this website. A small invited beta is planned.
Choose a model the device offers. Apple's on-device model needs an eligible device with Apple Intelligence turned on. Gemma 4 (E2B) is an optional large download that the app checks before use. A download does not select the model for you.
Create a workspace with a short PDF, text or code file you own. Ask a question you can answer from that file, then open the cited passage and compare.
Check that it stays local. Change a display preference, close the app, and reopen it. Local use should not require a MaQkrs account. Cross-device sync is not offered.

Mac, iPhone and iPad

Mac

Text, images, and short video

Workspaces, chat, citations, Personal Skills, and Review & Learn are in the app.
Images and short video work on supported Macs with Gemma 4 (E2B) and are still being tested. Video uses a few sampled frames.
Experimental training is Mac-only. It needs at least 32 GB of memory, Pro, and your consent each time. The result is saved privately and stays switched off.

iPhone and iPad

Shared study tools, separate limits

Workspaces, local review and Personal Skills are in the shared app.
Testing on real iPhones and iPads is not done yet.
Planned Image and video on iPhone and iPad are not available yet. Text chat still depends on the model and the device.

The app does not silently switch to a cloud model. Optional cloud review, outside AI accounts, Apple or Google sign-in, Google Drive and plugins are not available yet.

What to try, and what not to force

Ask one question the source can answer, and one it cannot. Check the citations.
On a Mac build that already supports it, try an owned, non-sensitive image or a short clip. Record whether the interface stayed responsive separately from whether the answer was right.
Pro study tools in the app include Tutor mode and Source-Locked mode. There is no purchase on this website. A developer switch is not a subscription.

What this guide does not promise

This is preparation for a pre-release beta, not proof of a public release, a finished feature set, or a price you can pay today. The privacy policy and terms of use are published separately. This page is not that policy.

A beta app is not a backup and not academic advice. Keep your original files, verify generated answers, and follow your institution's rules for AI use.
