The GCSEMate Story
From a student's frustration to a nationwide tool.
Built by a student, for students.
The Spark of an Idea
GCSEMate wasn't born in a boardroom; it was conceived during late-night revision sessions. As a Year 10 student, our founder found himself drowning in a sea of digital chaos. Revision notes were in one app, past papers downloaded into another folder, useful websites were lost in a long list of bookmarks, and collaborating with friends meant endless email chains. He knew there had to be a better way. Armed with a passion for coding and a clear problem to solve, he began building the first version of GCSEMate.
Our Mission: Simplify to Succeed
This journey started with a simple idea: to empower fellow students to cut through the revision clutter and achieve their full potential. We believe that your focus should be on learning, not on fighting with disorganized files. GCSEMate eliminates the friction of traditional study methods by providing a single, intelligent source of truth for all subjects, curated and organized for maximum impact. Every feature is built with the student experience at its core, ensuring GCSEMate is a tool that genuinely helps, not hinders, your path to success.
Built by Students, For Students
What makes GCSEMate different isn't just the technology—it's the understanding. Our team consists of current and recent GCSE students who have lived through the stress, the late nights, and the overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to start. We've felt the frustration of finding the perfect revision guide only to lose it in a folder maze, or discovering an amazing YouTube explanation but forgetting to bookmark it. This isn't theoretical for us; it's personal.
The Technology Behind the Magic
Behind the clean interface lies a carefully crafted system designed for speed, reliability, and accessibility. We've integrated with Google Drive's powerful API to provide seamless file access, built intelligent search functionality to help you find exactly what you need, and implemented progressive web app technology so GCSEMate works perfectly on any device. Our AI tutor, GCSEMateGPT, is specifically trained on GCSE curricula to provide targeted, exam-focused assistance.
Privacy and Security First
We understand that your study materials and personal information are precious. That's why GCSEMate is built with privacy by design. We use industry-standard encryption, minimal data collection practices, and transparent policies. You own your data, and we're simply here to help you organize and access it more effectively. Our authentication system is secure, our servers are protected, and your trust is our top priority.
Looking Forward
This is just the beginning. We're constantly listening to feedback from our community of users, implementing new features, and refining existing ones. From interactive revision tools to collaborative study spaces, from AI-powered study plans to comprehensive progress tracking—we're building the future of digital education, one feature at a time. Join us on this journey to make GCSE success accessible to everyone.
Features & Pricing
GCSEMate is built to open education for everyone — regardless of monetary status. Most features are free, and our Pro plan costs less than a cookie: it sustains hosting and keeps the lights on. If you can’t afford it, reach out — education shouldn’t hide behind a paywall. Also, we added a joke jar in the codebase; every time you laugh, it auto-increments. Totally scientific.

How do I access my revision files?
To access files, you need a 'Pro' account. Once upgraded, navigate to the 'Subjects' dashboard and click on any subject card. This will open the file browser for that subject, where you can navigate through folders, preview files, and download what you need.
How do I change the accent colour?
Use the colour picker in the top-right of the header (desktop) to pick your accent colour. Your choice is saved on this device. Click Reset to return to the default blue.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Yes! Press ? anywhere to open this Help/FAQ and see the shortcuts. You can also press / to focus the file search, or press g followed by a letter to jump to a section (e.g. d for dashboard, v for videos).
Can I preview files without downloading?
Yes. PDFs and images can be previewed directly in the app. Other file types may open in Google Drive viewer.
How do I report an issue or suggest a feature?
Please email us via the link on the Upgrade page or use the contact option in the footer. We welcome feedback to improve GCSEMate.
What is the 'Star' icon for?
Clicking the star icon next to a file pins it to the top of its current folder. This is a great way to mark important documents like exam papers or key notes for quick access. Starred items are always displayed first in both list and grid views.
How does the Calendar work?
The calendar helps you track important dates. Click on any day to add a personal event, like homework deadlines or revision topics. You can also enable a 'Countdown Banner' for specific events. Admins may add 'Global Events', like exam dates, which appear for all users and are marked with a green dot.
Can I upload my own files?
Currently, file uploading is not a feature for users. The file structure is managed by administrators to ensure all resources are relevant, high-quality, and well-organized for all students. This helps maintain a consistent and reliable revision library.
How do I delete my account?
You can delete your account by going to the 'Account' page. At the bottom, in the 'Danger Zone', you will find a "Delete My Account" button. Please be aware that this action is irreversible and will permanently delete your user profile and any associated personal data, such as calendar events.
What file types can I preview?
GCSEMate supports previewing PDFs, Word documents, Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, PowerPoint presentations, images (JPEG, PNG, GIF), and text files. If a file can't be previewed directly, you can always open it in Google Drive or download it.
Can I access GCSEMate offline?
GCSEMate requires an internet connection to access files and sync data. However, you can download files locally for offline study. We're working on offline capabilities for basic features in future updates.
How accurate is GCSEMateGPT?
GCSEMateGPT is trained specifically on GCSE curricula and past papers, making it highly accurate for GCSE-level questions. However, always cross-reference important information with official sources and your teachers. It's a powerful study aid, not a replacement for your textbooks.
Can I share files with classmates?
Currently, file sharing happens through Google Drive's sharing features. Click "Open in Google Drive" on any file to access sharing options. We're developing native sharing features for future releases.
Is my data safe and private?
Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption, minimal data collection, and transparent privacy policies. Your study materials remain in your Google Drive, and we only access metadata necessary for organization. Read our full Privacy Policy for details.
Why choose GCSEMate over other study apps?
GCSEMate is built specifically for UK GCSE students by fellow students who understand the unique challenges. We offer seamless file organization, integrated AI tutoring, affordable pricing (£1/month), and features designed around the actual GCSE curriculum and exam formats.
How do I get the most out of GCSEMate?
Start by exploring each subject's file browser, star your most important documents, use the calendar for deadline tracking, engage with GCSEMateGPT for quick explanations, and take advantage of keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation. Regular use builds familiarity and efficiency.
