Every problem students actually hit — in plain language — with the Stepora feature or protocol that answers it, and honest signposts where the real help lives outside an app.

Coach chat · advanced stats

Hands-free retrieval practice for your walk. Stepora shows a high-yield prompt from your weak areas — you say the answer out loud, it scores you instantly.

Rehearse the real test day — real block timing, a real 45-minute break budget, pacing alerts, and a pacing debrief at the end.

Stepora watches for overtraining — low mood, "too tired" check-ins, endless streaks — and protects your progress by locking in recovery before burnout costs you.

Stepora

Your USMLE coach — Step 1 · Step 2 CK · Step 3.

Stepora plans your prep — and your whole day — then adapts as it learns how you study. You just show up; Stepora decides what's next.

What Stepora does

• Smart schedule generator — built only from your exam date + the resources you picked
• Score Autopilot — your pass probability (Step 1) or predicted score (Step 2 CK · Step 3), estimated only from your logged EPC forms — no estimate exists before your first one — and a plan that reshapes itself around them Pro
• Focus timer + smart breaks — 50/10 cycles: a practical default that fits a 40-question block, not a proven optimum ⚖️ Debated · long break every 3rd round
• Burnout Fuse — when overtraining signals fire, Stepora locks in recovery and shows you the score math Pro
• Walk & Recall — hands-free oral retrieval practice on your walk; say the answer, get scored Pro
• Exam Day Simulator — rehearse the full test day: real blocks, real break budget, pacing debrief Pro
• Adaptive coach — morning check-ins, pattern spotting, a plan that reshapes itself
• Mind care — mood-aware lighter days, 2-min guided breathing, one-tap overwhelm relief
• Chat — type what you want (More → Chat): “mark done”, “log NBME 31 68%”, “ate biryani”, “move Pathoma to 7pm”, “ye task kal kar do”. It acts right away, shows exactly what changed, and plan changes always show the consequence first — nothing moves until you tap Do it.
• Phone Guard — iPhone lockdown guides + a 60-second pre-session checklist
• Full-day routine — wake, meals, study, exercise and wind-down, with reminders
• NBME tracking — readiness indicator + a 48-hour weak-area protocol after every score
• Daily debrief — "Finish my day" wrap-up with one personal coach insight
• Admin panel — motivations, resources, decks, coaching manual, announcements

How it works

Built on evidence-based rules from high-scorer research: Qbank-first with review time ≥ question time, a realistic daily load Stepora calculates for you, NBMEs every 7–14 days (Step 2 CK sweet spot 10–14) with an honest readiness gate — and rest built in as structure, never as a reward.

Who it's for

USMLE students — Step 1, Step 2 CK and Step 3 — who want one calm plan instead of ten conflicting ones, from first pass to exam week. Your plan, resources and practice exams all match the exam you picked in setup.

Chat Training

Admin only. Everything the chat has been trained on is visible here — nothing is hidden.

Test box

Type any phrase — the result shows how the chat would read it. A test never executes anything and never changes data.

The Golden Rule

Locked basics

The chat refusal set. Read-only — the chat can never change these: not when a student asks, not on research advice.

Examples — phrase → action

Grouped by family. This same pack drives the chat parser and goes into the connected model's instructions.

Your examples

Phrases you add are recognised by the chat immediately and are included in the model's instructions. Saved automatically; they survive reloads.

Where answers come from — 3 tiers

Announcement

Shows as a banner on Home. Leave empty for none.

Owner access

Owner-only preview. One tap gives this device instant full Pro — no payment — so you can experience and test everything exactly as a buyer does. Use it only on your own device.

Monetization

Create a $1.99/month subscription product on your payment provider, paste its checkout link below, and set the product's success redirect to this app's URL + ?pro=1 — returning students unlock Pro on this device automatically.

Recommended: Creem — 3.9% + $0.40 per transaction, no monthly fee, and no company required. It supports sellers in Pakistan with bank transfer payouts — so set up the $1.99/month product on Creem. This field stays provider-agnostic: any checkout link works.

Checkout link per plan — optional. Students can pay monthly or prepay 3 / 6 / 12 months. Leave a plan blank and it uses the main subscription link above. For prepaid products, set the success redirect to this app's URL + ?pro=1&plan=pre3 (or pre6 / pre12) so the access window matches.

Stepora is Pro-only — there is no free tier. Every feature unlocks with the one plan above.
