how it works
we built Mathly because every other math tool either gives you the answer with zero explanation, or writes a 12-paragraph essay when you just need step 3.
drop a photo, upload a screenshot, or just type it. handwritten notes, textbook pages, whatever — if you can see it, Mathly can read it.
on mobile, hit Camera and snap it in one shot.
Mathly reads the problem, pulls the math, and starts solving. usually a couple seconds.
it’s not just OCR — it recognizes the type of problem and solves accordingly.
steps show up as clean cards. real math rendering. no walls of text.
skip what you already know, zoom in on the step you’re stuck on.
ask a follow‑up at the bottom. it keeps the full context — no re-explaining, no starting over.
most solvers stop at the answer. Mathly keeps going until it clicks.
the three features
drop a photo or type a problem → get clean step-by-step cards you can follow.
switch to PRACTICE for drill packs based on what you just solved. tap “explain this one” to jump back to SOLVE with context.
a compact drawer with quick-save cards when you need speed.
the tech stuff
image reading
OCR pulls the text out of your photo. we show you exactly what was detected so there's no mystery about what the AI saw.
math rendering
KaTeX — same engine as Khan Academy. fractions, integrals, matrices, limits all render crisp. no raw LaTeX strings showing up in your face.
conversation memory
the backend forgets everything between requests, so we store the full thread client-side. follow-ups always have full context — it's not starting fresh every time.
api counter
the header counter tracks total usage on the shared key. it warns near the end and locks at 75.
