No. LockedIn Notes is credit-based — you top up $5 at a time and pay 10¢ per output page only when a run completes successfully. Credits never expire, there's no minimum spend, and there's no monthly fee hanging over you. If a run fails, you're not charged.

PDF, PowerPoint (PPTX), Word (DOCX), plain text (TXT), Markdown (MD), and RTF — up to 10 files per run, 50 MB each. Upload a whole week of lectures at once; we merge them into a single coherent set of notes.

Yes. If a PDF has no extractable text — like a scan or a photocopy — we automatically run OCR on every page in the background. You'll get a heads-up before upload that the run will take a bit longer, but the end result is the same: clean, structured notes from material other tools reject outright.

Yes — tick Include diagrams when you create a run. Our AI vision scans every page of your PDFs, finds the real diagrams (flowcharts, graphs, illustrations, equation blocks, data tables), and embeds them inline with Figure 1, Figure 2… captions linked to their source page. Diagram pages are billed at 5× the normal rate, and you only pay when we actually find one.

Typical runs complete in 30–90 seconds. Very large uploads, scanned PDFs, and runs with the diagram option enabled can take a few minutes. You'll see live queue position and status without refreshing the page — and we email you a branded link the moment your notes are ready.

Every completed run gives you a themed PDF (print-ready) and an editable Word document (DOCX), both colour-matched to the subject you picked. At the subject level, you can also export a single merged PDF or DOCX containing every run you've ever done — a ready-made revision binder for end-of-semester.

Absolutely. Every run has a Custom instructions box — "focus on week 4 only," "write in bullet points," "include a glossary," "emphasise the case studies" — the AI follows your direction. You can also dial the overall intensity: Moderate (thorough), Balanced (focused), or Ruthless (exam-day cram sheet).

LockedIn Notes is subject-aware — the output is tuned to what each discipline actually needs. Law gets case citations and essay plans; science gets equations and diagram references; business gets frameworks and case studies; history gets timelines and source analysis. Every NSW senior curriculum subject is supported out of the box, and the same engine works for university-level material.

Notes are generated by a state-of-the-art large language model using prompts tuned per subject. They're reliable for well-structured academic source material, but we always recommend a quick review before using them in a high-stakes exam setting — think of LockedIn Notes as a very fast, very thorough study buddy, not a replacement for sitting the course.

Yes. Your uploaded files and generated notes are private to your account, stored securely, and are never shared with other users or used to train any model. You can delete a run or an entire subject at any time from your dashboard.

Top-ups are instant via Stripe — $5 gets you ~50 pages of notes. Recharge as often or as rarely as you need, and any credit you've already paid for stays in your account forever.
