Cut One Page of Revision Notes Into Every Length You Need — Free
Revision notes get rewritten three times: the full page for the folder, the card for the pocket and the one-liner for the walk to the exam. Cutting the same text at each length keeps the wording consistent, which matters when the short version is what you remember.
The proof surface
Free path: the tool computes locally in this browser with no key and no account. Where an AI step helps, any free chat assistant works — free tiers exist (Google AI Studio, Groq), but plans and limits change, so check the provider's own page. No third-party service is claimed here as verified: UNCONFIRMED — model has no browsing access this session.
Why the flat version breaks
Rewriting notes shorter by hand changes the emphasis every time, and the version you memorised is rarely the version you wrote. Cascade the same source at sentence boundaries and the short forms are cuts of the long one rather than a new document.
How to use the revision note cascade strip in four passes
The cascade cuts your wording, not a summary of it. If the source is a list of fragments rather than sentences, the cuts will be uneven — that is the tool telling you the note needs punctuation.
A pocket card, a phone note, a spoken reminder on the walk in. Limits taken from real formats produce versions you will use; invented ones produce text nobody reads.
The longest version shows what the cut keeps and what it loses. The shortest shows whether the note has one idea in it or three fighting for the same sentence.
Anything under a sentence long is a rewrite, not a cut. If the one-line summary is unreadable, the note is carrying two ideas — split it into two notes and cascade each.
SAMPLE DATA, NOT A VERIFIED CLAIM: the starter record cascades a hand-written page on osmosis into a 320-character card, a 160-character phone note and an 80-character line. Replace these values with your own source before you rely on anything.
What breaks first
Pasting a paragraph with no sentence breaks
The cascade works at sentence boundaries, so a run-on sentence cannot be shortened cleanly. Punctuate first, then cascade.
Keeping the headline and dropping the caveat
Cuts that remove a condition — 'passive', 'under these conditions', 'except when' — produce a version that is confidently wrong. Check the longest cut keeps the caveats and adjust the source if it does not.
Treating the shortest version as the whole topic
A one-line summary is a memory hook, not a substitute for the page. Rehearse with the long version and use the short one as the trigger.
What you pay otherwise
| The usual route | What it leaves out | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| A flashcard app | Monthly fee for the cutting you can do once here | $6–$15 a month |
| A summarising subscription | Monthly fee to rewrite text you already wrote and understood | $10–$25 a month |
| Rewriting by hand each time | Three versions of the same note, each emphasising something different | an evening per topic |
| This page + the free revision note cascade strip | Computed in your tab, result on screen before you type anything | $0 |

The companion app runs the same logic with a numbered intake, three starter records, a stateful share link, the one-time printable layer, and the local history shelf.

The full cascade: every channel cut at sentence boundaries with the percentage of the limit used, plus the longest channel's caveat note, unlimited re-runs.
The on-screen result is free and complete. The one-time layer adds a tangible file you keep and the saved history that comes with it.
Boundary: This cuts text you wrote at sentence boundaries; it does not check facts, mark work or guarantee that a shortened version is complete. Subject accuracy, syllabus content and exam technique come from your course and your teacher — check anything you are unsure about with them.
