Question 1

Do I need internet to use it?

Accepted Answer

No. Notes and flashcards save to your device first and sync automatically the next time you're online — so a spotty hostel or library connection never costs you a study session.

Question 2

Is this only useful for UPSC?

Accepted Answer

UPSC is what it's built around, but the map-plus-notes format works for any exam with a heavy geography or GS component — state PSCs included.

Question 3

Who can see my notes if I share one?

Accepted Answer

Nothing leaves your account until you choose to share it to the study feed. Once shared, only you can take that post back down.

Question 4

What happens if I switch devices?

Accepted Answer

Sign in on the new device and everything syncs down — notes, flashcards, planner, tags, all of it. Nothing is tied to a single browser or machine.

Question 5

Does it cost anything right now?

Accepted Answer

No. Meridian is free during early access — full feature set, no credit card, no trial countdown.
