    This app is really great. This is like a hidden gem for O level students who need to do a lot of past year Question papers. The multiplayer feature is very smart, and I like it a lot.

Our story

Built by a student, for students

Salman

Founder & Developer

As a Cambridge student, I experienced the struggle of exam prep firsthand during my O/A Levels. Scattered resources, no easy way to check my answers, and no accessible quality app to find past papers.

I started building PaperStack as a weekend project in my room during my O Levels in 2022, kept improving it through my A Levels, and when I got the chance to focus on it fully during my gap year, I added the features I had longed for back in my time.

Read the full storyShow less

Today, it's used by 50,000+ students across 50+ countries, and I get messages from students all over the world about how helpful it has been for them.

Every feature in PaperStack exists because a student asked for it — from AI-powered grading and quick scan explanations, to topical question filters and Multiplayer Matches with friends. I've kept the app free and funded it with my own money. It's shaped entirely by the community it serves.

I'm the only developer behind it, and your support keeps this mission alive.

Your next A* starts with one paper.
