Viral AI Note-Taking App Coconote Now Free For Educators As Back-To-School Season Begins

The viral AI note-taking app and study assistant Coconote removes cost barriers for teachers as it helps 1.5+ million students thrive

MIAMI, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Coconote, the viral AI note-taking app and study assistant trusted by more than 1.5 million students nationwide, announced today that its premium version is now free for all educators nationwide, eliminating cost barriers for teachers and professors who want to equip their classrooms with advanced study tools. The announcement comes as students head back to campus and Coconote hits its biggest milestone yet: more than 1.5 million students served this year.

Built by veteran engineers who previously worked at Loom (acquired by Atlassian for $975 million), Coconote is quickly becoming one of the most widely adopted study tools in the country.

"Students don't need another distraction—they need tools that make studying easier, faster, and actually help them perform," said Zack Hargett, cofounder of Coconote. "We made this decision because it's simply the right thing to do. Teachers are already doing incredible work with limited resources."

Transforming Learning for Students with ADHD

The announcement is particularly impactful for students with learning differences, with ADHD students at top universities calling the app a "lifesaver" for their academic success. Unlike traditional note-taking methods that can overwhelm students with processing challenges, Coconote's AI transforms lectures, videos, and documents into structured study materials that help students engage more deeply with course content.

Real Student Impact

Reviews from thousands of students reflect how Coconote is changing study habits and academic outcomes nationwide:

• "Amazing for nursing — it really helps me focus on what's being said instead of stressing about missing something important." — Nursing student, Vanderbilt University
• "As someone with ADHD and auditory processing issues, this app has been a lifesaver. I can go back and hear exactly what I missed the first time." — Nursing student, Duke University
• "Must-have for ADHD and for anyone in a fast-paced school — it makes me feel more at ease in class because I know I can revisit everything later." — Finance student, University of Michigan
• "This app organizes my notes so I can actually focus on learning instead of scrambling to write everything down." — Mom and nursing student

Coconote maintains a 4.8 rating from more than 11,000 reviews in the Apple App Store and is available across iOS, Android, Mac, and web platforms.

The platform transforms lectures, videos, documents, and other materials into structured notes, quizzes, flashcards, practice exams, and study games—helping students engage more deeply with course content.
