Yes, if you want a tool built around your whole course, with answers cited to the page, full graded exams, exports to Anki (Pro and up) and PDF, and progress tracking. Mindgrasp is strong at auto-notes across many source types and can record live lectures, while StudyPDF goes deeper on your own course material.
It cites the page behind every answer and refuses to make things up, maps your whole course into one connected concept graph, writes full graded practice exams, exports flashcards to Anki (Pro and up) and fold-over PDFs, builds mind maps and cheat sheets, and tracks per-concept mastery so it knows what to study next.
Mindgrasp records live lectures and meetings with transcription, accepts a wider range of raw sources like DOCX, audio files, and Vimeo, and cross-checks notes against outside journals. StudyPDF studies the files you upload plus YouTube links.
It is free to start, and the free tier gives you about 4 materials a week with no card needed. Pro and Ultra add a bigger weekly pool of credits for heavier exam-season use. Mindgrasp lists a free tier for its learning tools, with paid plans for unlimited use.
