What it does
Built for the part of org chem that actually hurts
Not arithmetic. Mechanisms, selectivity and knowing why the other product loses.
Arrow-pushing mechanisms, one step at a time
A solution that only names the product teaches you nothing on the exam. Every solve is split into numbered steps that say what attacks what, which bond breaks, and where the charge goes — the same reasoning your curved arrows encode.
- Substitution and elimination: SN1, SN2, E1, E2
- Electrophilic aromatic substitution on benzene and substituted rings
- Carbonyl chemistry: addition, aldol, Grignard, acyl substitution
- A browsable library of 106 named mechanisms, tagged by reaction type
Photograph the problem instead of retyping it
Skeletal structures do not survive a keyboard. Point the camera at a printed or handwritten question, a structure or a full reaction scheme, crop to the part you care about, and let the app read it. Prefer typing? Add a topic hint and it steers the solver.
- Camera or photo library, with a crop step before anything is sent
- Handwriting, textbook pages and problem sets all work
- Topic hints: substitution, elimination, addition, aromatics
- Your photo is used to answer the question and never stored on a server
Major product, minor product, and the reason
Regiochemistry and stereochemistry are where marks disappear. Solutions name the governing rule rather than leaving you to guess it — Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov, Zaitsev or Hofmann, ortho/para or meta, retention or inversion at the stereocentre.
- The reaction type is named on every solve
- Key reagents and the principle behind the selectivity are called out
- Practise the same skill with product-prediction questions from the offline bank
A tutor for the questions a solver cannot answer
Sometimes the problem is not the problem. Ask about a reagent you have never seen, why a synthesis runs in that order, or what a question is even asking. Three modes cover the three ways students get stuck.
- Tutor — ask anything: mechanisms, reagents, stereochemistry, aromatics
- Explain Assignment — understand what a task is really asking before you start
- Check My Homework — show your answer and get a verdict with feedback
- Attach a photo of the worksheet to any of them
A study library that never asks for a subscription
The offline half of the app is free forever and works on a plane, in a basement lecture hall, or on airplane mode the night before a final. No sign-in, no counter, no paywall.
- 522 formula entries across 11 topics, searchable and explained
- 74 flashcard decks, 2,477 cards with reaction schemes on the back
- 397 quiz questions with instant feedback and hints
- 8 calculators — molar mass, moles ↔ mass, dilution, percent yield, limiting reagent, empirical formula, degree of unsaturation, pH/pOH
- Functional group cheat sheet ranked by naming seniority, plus a scientific calculator
How it works
Problem in, mechanism out
Four steps, no account, no setup.
-
Capture the question
Photograph the problem and crop it, or type it out and tag the topic.
-
The solver reads it
It works out what is being asked, identifies the topic and picks the mechanism that fits.
-
Read the steps
Numbered steps with explanations, the reaction type named, and the final answer highlighted.
-
Keep it or dig deeper
Every solve is saved to a searchable history. Ask the tutor a follow-up, or drill the topic with flashcards.

Examples
The kind of question it is built for
Typed in plain English or photographed off the page — both work.
“Predict the major product when 2-bromo-2-methylbutane reacts with sodium ethoxide in ethanol.”
tertiary substrate + strong base → elimination“Draw the mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydration of propene.”
Markovnikov addition via a carbocation“What happens when benzene is treated with HNO₃ and H₂SO₄?”
electrophilic aromatic substitution — nitration“1-bromobutane + NaOH — which mechanism, and what is the product?”
primary substrate, strong nucleophile → SN2Use cases
Use Organic Chemistry AI for
Organic Chemistry II
Aromatics and EAS, carbonyl chemistry, aldol and enolates, carboxylic acid derivatives, amines, spectroscopy and retrosynthesis — 39 chapters in total.
Homework you are stuck on
Photograph the question, read the mechanism steps, then redo it yourself. Every solve stays in a searchable history so revision does not start from zero.
Checking your own answer
Check My Homework takes your working and gives a verdict with feedback, which is the difference between finding a mistake now and finding it in the exam.
Exam and midterm practice
Ten-question rounds pulled from an offline bank of 397, with hints when you stall and the right answer the moment you choose.
Quick lookups mid-problem
Molar mass, percent yield, limiting reagent, degree of unsaturation, pH — plus 522 formula entries, all free and all offline.

Questions students actually ask
Mechanisms, scanning, cost, and what stays on your phone.
What is the difference between SN1, SN2, E1 and E2?
All four begin the same way — a substrate with a leaving group meets a nucleophile or a base. Substrate class decides most of it: methyl and primary go SN2, tertiary goes SN1 or E1 through a carbocation, and a strong bulky base forces elimination. Nucleophile strength, solvent and temperature settle the rest. Learn the full decision procedure →
How do I predict the major product of an organic reaction?
Name the functional group, name what the reagent is (nucleophile, base, electrophile, oxidant, reductant), decide which mechanism that pairing implies, then apply that mechanism's selectivity rule — Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov, Zaitsev or Hofmann, ortho/para or meta, retention or inversion. Learn the five-question routine →
Can I scan an organic chemistry problem instead of typing it?
Yes. Photograph a printed or handwritten question, a skeletal structure or a reaction scheme, crop to the part that matters, and the app reads it before solving. Typing works too, with an optional topic hint. Learn how to scan a structure properly →
Does the app show arrow-pushing mechanisms?
Solutions are broken into numbered steps that state what attacks what, which bond breaks and where the charge ends up — the reasoning curved arrows encode. The bundled library holds 106 named mechanisms you can browse by reaction type. Learn to push arrows yourself →
Is an organic chemistry AI solver better than asking ChatGPT?
A general chatbot answers in prose and starts cold every time. A dedicated solver returns the same structure every time — reaction type, numbered mechanism steps, then the major product — keeps a searchable history, and ships an offline study library beside it. Either way, check an AI answer against your course notes before you hand it in. See the honest comparison →
Does it cover both Orgo 1 and Orgo 2?
Yes. The bundled study library is labelled for Organic Chemistry I and Organic Chemistry II and spans 39 chapters, from structure and bonding through alkyl halides, alkenes and aromatics to carbonyls, amines, spectroscopy and retrosynthesis. See what is covered →
What does it cost, and is anything free?
Free to download, with three free solves per device shared between the solver and the tutor. The calculators, the 522-entry formula reference, the mechanism library, the flashcards and the quizzes are free forever. Pro unlocks unlimited solving at the price your store shows for your region. There is no free trial.
Does it work offline?
The study side does — flashcards, quizzes, the mechanism library, the cheat sheet, the calculators and the formula reference are bundled in the app and need no connection. Solving and the tutor call an AI model, so those need internet.
What happens to my photos and my problems?
A photo is sent once so the model can read the question and is not stored on a server afterwards. Your solve history stays on your device. There is no account, no sign-up and no advertising ID. Read the privacy policy →
