One app
for your whole degree.
Work on your lecture notes and term papers in English, and Clio checks spelling and style as you write. Before you submit a paper, Clio Premium gives it a score from 0 to 100, so you know how good it is.
No credit card Your 7 days of Premium start right away, with no payment details.
You do the writing Nothing goes into your text without your OK. Your voice stays your own.





Writing on your laptop Flashcards on your phone
Set it up once. Use it until you graduate.
From day one, Clio keeps your notes and documents in one place and turns them into flashcards for your first exams. For term papers, it formats your citations and scores your draft before you submit.
Your first semester is stressful enough
Then your first term paper or lab report is due, with rules you were never taught.
2 a.m. and nothing clicks
The deadline is tomorrow and your outline still makes no sense. Nobody can tell you if it's good enough. So you submit and hope.
ChatGPT feels risky
Pasted AI text isn't your own work. Your university's exam rules say what you may use.
Nobody showed you how this works
School never covered citing and structuring a paper, or back home the rules were different. Now you're supposed to know.
Everyone's first term paper feels like a mountain
You're not the only one stressing about it. Clio goes through it with you, step by step, from the first outline to the day you submit.
A polished term paper in three steps
You write. Clio thinks with you.
Just start writing
Open a document and start typing. Clio reads along, so you never have to paste your text into another window.
Clio shows you what could be better
Clio points out spelling, grammar, style and structure issues as you write. With Premium, you also get a preliminary assessment, so you know where you stand.
Submit a clean paper and sleep well
When you export, Clio puts the cover page in front and formats your references in the style you picked, so the file looks finished. You learn as you go and stay in control of every sentence.

Your writing workspace for university
Stop switching between five tools. Clio brings what you need for academic writing into one place.
Your score from 0 to 100 before you submit
Clio Premium reads your paper before you submit it, from a short term paper to a bachelor's thesis, and scores each of its five parts with concrete tips on what to improve. So you know how good it is while you can still make changes. It isn't an official grade.
Cover page in seconds
Add your title, student ID, supervisor and due date. Clio turns them into a cover page and puts it first when you export.
Flashcards, on your phone too
Your notes become flashcards automatically. You write on your laptop and keep studying on the bus.
Automatic citations and reference list
Clio looks up the details from a DOI, ISBN or URL and formats the citation and reference list in your chosen style. APA 7 and Harvard are included. Every entry stays editable.
Your own writing style
Clio suggests improvements to your sentences, and you choose which ones to accept. It still sounds like you, just clearer.
Swap five apps for one
Many students keep a grammar checker, a notes app, a chatbot, a reference manager and a flashcard app open side by side. Some of them cost money. Clio does these jobs in one place and is built for university work.
Clio vs. just using ChatGPT
Both use AI. Clio is built so that you do the writing.
Just ChatGPT
riskyClio
your own work
Every day counts in your first semester
You don't have to learn academic writing before you start. Clio teaches you as you write.
No experience needed
Clio explains how to structure and cite, right in your own text.
Confident from the start
You write it yourself, and with Premium you see your score before you submit.
Up and running in minutes
Clio runs in the browser on your laptop, so there's nothing to install.
Get your weekends back
Clio takes care of formatting and citations, so your degree doesn't take over your whole life.

Before you sign up
No. Clio doesn't write your paper. It corrects and explains while you type, and you decide which suggestions to keep. The text stays yours and you learn along the way, which pasted AI text can't give you.
You submit your own writing. You write it yourself, while Clio corrects your spelling and style and explains what could be clearer, so the wording stays yours and you understand every change before you accept it. Check what your university's rules say about AI tools, and if your course asks you to list the ones you used, include Clio.
For flashcards, yes. You can study them on your phone wherever you are. The writing happens on your laptop or desktop.
Your account is free and comes with 7 days of Premium. They start as soon as you sign up, without a credit card. After that the trial ends by itself. Nothing is charged, and there's nothing to cancel. If you want to continue, Pro costs €6 a month or €60 a year, and Premium costs €8 a month or €72 a year. You can cancel the monthly plan at any time, effective at the end of the billing month, and the annual plan runs for 12 months. Without a paid plan you can still open and export your texts, while the AI features need Pro or Premium. All prices are in euros.
Your texts belong to you. Clio only processes them to help you, and as a German provider it is bound by the GDPR.
Mainly for students who are writing academic papers in English or German for the first time. And for anyone who wants to get through their term papers faster and with less stress.
