Learning Features

Learning Paths Dashboard — Your bookmarked playlists become learning paths. See a progress bar for each path (watched / total videos), along with a stats summary showing active and completed paths and your weekly study hours.

Watch Progress Tracking — Long-press any video in a playlist to mark it as Watched or Unwatched. The playlist menu also offers bulk actions: Mark all watched and Reset all progress.

Timestamped Notes — Tap the note button in the player to save a note anchored to the current position. Notes appear in the video detail screen in timestamp order. Tap any note to seek back to that moment.

Learning Streak & Study Time — Track consecutive days of study activity, total study time today / this week / all time, and view a calendar of your active days.
